Anyone know how to go about applying a custom (full size) background image / tile image per forum?

I tried code using this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132716

<body style="background-image: url('images/background/Forum-Timothy.jpg')">

That did not work, just extra blank space.

Thanks for any tips.

I hope someone can help me out on this. I really need to get the snowflakes background working :)

Thanks

Try:
<body style="background-image: url('/images/background/Forum-Timothy.jpg')">

Thanks Lynne. Tried that also, still getting a blank extra space. Strange, the file is indeed there.

A link to the site with that style may help.

But you aren't using the css in that style. I need a link to the site using the style (it should have &styleid=x on the end of the link).

I only have one style and that is the one you see.

I had removed the code because all it did was add space. I re-added it in this specific forum:

Just extra space above pink box that says
"The atheist can't find God for the same reason that a thief can't find a police officer. - Author Unknown"

If you want it set to the forum you'll have to use the $forum[forumid] in the path, like

background: url(/images/forum-$forum[forumid].gif

then upload a forum-forumid#.gif file to your /images directory.

Please see the OP. I mentioned that I was using a mod that allows you to post html code per forum. That mod works itself anyway.

You may only have one <body> tag in a page. That tag should be right after the close of the head tag. You can't just add a body tag randomly in the middle of your html like you did. You either need to add the style to the existing body tag or add it to your Main CSS.
