Hello again littlewave

I want to ask you if can tell me is it able to make my background to change in every reload of the page ?

Do I have to add a script modification in my css file ??

Code:

body {
background-image: url('http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/2315/harrypotter7vy3.jpg');
background-attachment:fixed;
scrollbar-face-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D1D7DC;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #006699;
scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98AAB1
}

Hi kozataxakep littlewave

I guess it is possible, but only Sabrina would know if it works on ForumUp, and exactly how.

But have you really thought about what it means, for you and your members, when surfing the forum; reading; posting etc...?

Every time you click on something on the forum, a new background image will have to load, and the forum will become slow(er), as a result of it. It's a bit slow compared to ordinary forums already as it is, because everything is redirected.

With different background images for every click, it may even seem so slow that your members start to double post and such, because "nothing happens", when they click Submit...

Also, it will be fun the first time around, but once your members have seen all the images, it will be no different from having the same background all the time -- except that it's slower.

All that said, if it can be done, you may as well try it and see what happens. So I have asked Sabrina to take a look here, as usual... Wink

Your forum looks really good now, and I'm glad to see that there is a lot of activity... Very Happy

FoxLeonard

Thank you Fox,im trying to keep it at higher stance Smile

Okay if that really gonna slow the forum,can it be done only for the index page.And when you click on a page to stay the same as the index.Only the idex to change.

For example i go my forum it's one page.Im clicking into a forum and posting(staying with same background)and when i get back to the index i got freshly new background staffwink

Hi kozataxakep,

here is the script you need, you only have to put inside this code the URL of the images you like for your background.

This is for 3 different backgrounds.

Obviously, you need to upload the background images on the web, then write the right path instead of: http://LINK OF YOUR BACKGROUND.jpg:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script>

var once_per_session=0

function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) { // if cookie exists
offset += search.length
// set index of beginning of value
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
// set index of end of cookie value
if (end == -1)
end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}

function loadornot(){
if (get_cookie('popunder')==''){
loadpopunder()
document.cookie="popunder=yes"
}
}

function loadpopunder(){
win2=window.open(popunder)
win2.blur()
window.focus()
}

if (once_per_session==0)
loadpopunder()
else
loadornot()

</script>
</head>
<body>

<script>

var backgr1="http://LINK OF YOUR BACKGROUND.jpg"
var backgr2="http://LINK OF YOUR BACKGROUND.jpg"
var backgr3="http://LINK OF YOUR BACKGROUND.jpg"

var cur=Math.round(6*Math.random())
if (cur<=1)
backgr=backgr1
else if (cur<=4)
backgr=backgr2
else
backgr=backgr3
document.write('<body background="'+backgr+'" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">')
</script>

</body>
</html>

You have to refresh your browser to see changements.

I don't think it must have a description but of course I think css could be the cause.

In my opinion, you simply have to delete the part relative to the background in your css (or leave it empty), then take your code and copy it on the footer.

Great Sabrina ! yayconfetti

It works when I've left the css line empty.

Can the script be modifyed for more than 3 backgrounds?
Will that options for random will slow the forum loading ?

Try it yourself to see what happens. Look at the page loading times to find out if it seems to slow the forum loading. Those are not questions you need to ask us about. We would not now unless we experimented.
