Can someone tell me how to make a fluid skin fixed, and add a background that doesn't slide? I know I can set the width in the StyleVar admin screen, but the background still slides when resizing the browser window. Also how can I add borders to the forum?

What do you mean by "slide" ? Can you show us some live examples?

Ok. Here is the forum: http://www.war-armies.com

It uses a fluid style that I set to have a fixed width.

I wish to use this custom background that I made:

I want the forum to display in the center of that background between the bars and not move. How do I do that?

I want to get an effect similar to that seen on this forum: http://www.warhammeralliance.com

ok well you would then use CSS , in the body section example:

body {
background:#bghexcolor url(bgurl.gif) repeat-y scroll center center;
color:#F2EBD9;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

and such

Hope this helps :)
