Gradient Issue

[SkippySkippy]

Hi, I'm having an issue with putting gradients on one of my skins, and wanted to see if any of you could help.

I used this site (http://secretgeek.net/GradientMaker.asp) to produce the gradients I wanted, and then used the path at the bottom of the screen. I then inserted "url([link])" next to the regular html image code in the Admin CP. I saved and it appeared to work and looked great.

However, one of my moderators told me the forums looked messed up and showed me this picture:

Now, this didn't appear when I looked at it. I talked to an active member and he said he was getting the same problem. So, I figured maybe it was because the image came from another site. I saved the image to my computer and then put it onto my server under "gradients". I then altered the link in the Styles & Templates (I double checked to make sure it was correct). However, now there was no image at all. I changed the file into a .gif, and still nothing.

The forums really looked great with the gradients. Any idea what's going wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks,

A link to the site would help?

From the looks of it, it appears the image is to big, but without seeing the actual page, cant be 100% sure.

You shouldn't link to the image anyways, you should just make your own and ftp it to your server.

If i had to guess, you were remotly linking to the image instead of saving it and using it on your own forum.
