How to add a background image
Now that we have the lower part of the forum (
FOOTER) to enter HTML, it is possible to see the background always, even on post pages and on any theme (there may be a few exceptions.)
First, choose your background image. Then host it online somewhere, or, if it is already online you can directly copy the URL (but do not copy from someone else's webspace! You must have the image on your own webspace or image hosting account).
Then, the following code should be inserted in
Administration -> General -> ForumUp- >HTML codes on top and bottom of all forum pages -> Code at the bottom
Here is the code:
| Code: |
<style type="text/css">
body {
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(http://URLofBackgroundimage);
}
</style> |
You can also use the old code:
| Code: |
| <body background="http://URLofBackgroundimage"> |
Use the URL of your background image in the code where it says http://URLofBackgroundimage , including the extension (.jpg, .gif, .png)
... and you're done!
[Note: The background is the area behind the forum, peeking out on the sides, top and bottom. Not much shows. It is not the areas in the columns that have text.]
