    Posted: 21 January 2008 at 1:13am
I am trying to add a background image into the CSS file for a skin but for some reason it wont take.
 
The background is in the forum_images folder
 
/* Page body */
body{
 background-color: #C000C0;
 background-image:url('../forum_images/BEARBACK.gif');
 margin-left: 0px;
 margin-top: 5px;
 margin-right: 0px;
 margin-bottom: 5px;
}
 
It will not load the image I get no errors
 
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

My code:
 
background-image: url(../forum_images/sayfa_arka.gif);
 
 
Your code:
 
background-image:url('../forum_images/BEARBACK.gif');

I tried

background-image:url(../forum_images/BEARBACK.gif);
 
and it still does not load the background is there something else that is needed in the body?
 
/* Page body */
body{
 background-image: url(../forum_images/bearback.gif);
 background-color: #B1D5EC;
 margin-left: 0px;
 margin-top: 5px;
 margin-right: 0px;
 margin-bottom: 5px;

It does need to be:-

('../../forum_images/image_name.gif')

You may also find if you are an IE user that you need to do a hard refresh (CTRL -> F5) so that IE loads in the CSS file.

Hi Guys.

I wonder if one of you learned and scholarly people could tell me how to add a background image to my forum and make the Cool Blue skin I am using ever so slightly transparent so that the image can be seen?

My foum is here www.room327.biz

and I would like to look something like my friend's site here

http://www.balearic-jobs.com/asp/mb/forums.html

Obviously, not with the skin he is using (though there is nothing wrong with it I hasten to add!!) nor the background image.

Bu I think you get my meaning?

My eternal thanks, in advance, as always!!!
