Hey there, is there an easy way to change the default BackGround Image for WWF, than going through and updating the ASP?  I can't seem to find it in the Administrative setup.  Thanks much!

You need to edit the file includes/skin_file.asp with a text editor.

Sounds good, but, "how" do you change that file and 'what' particular thing in that file do you change?
 
This could really be a helpful addition to the Forum Setup Menu.
 
I've looked at the file you mention, I 'see' this information:
 
Quote 'Global on Each Page
'----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Dim strBgColour    'Forum page colour
Dim strBgImage    'Forum bacground image path
 
But, as far as knowing how to actually 'change' or define that variable, I have no clue.
 
Can you help?
 
Thanks,
Exile

in the file you will see strBgImage = ""

change it to strBgImage = "URL to image"

for example  (../images/heading.gif)

Thanks, but, alas...  I do not see this:
 
Quote in the file you will see strBgImage = ""
 
There is no line like that in the file.
 
I only see this:
 
Quote Dim strBgImage    'Forum bacground image path
 
Is this the line I change?
 
All help appreciated.

There is no line in the file that reads :-

Dim strBgImage

All variables in the skin_file.asp are constents so you must be using a third party skin or the file has been modified.

If you download the use the original skin_file.asp that comes with the forum inside this file you will find the following line:-

Const strBgImage = "forum_images/main_bg.gif"    'Forum background image path

Change the part marked in red to the location of the background image you wish to use.

Yes, I guess that is the problem. I'm using the Web Whiz forum that came with EZASPSITE portal. I'm sorry I didn't mention that to start with. :(  Please forgive. I'll e-mail or contact the author of that program and see what gives. Thanks so much!
