You would need to include it in the css in Style Manager > Main CSS... probably under Page Background

Here's a page on background properties - CSS Background Properties (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp)

Well, most likely you are talking about adding a background image to the Page Background. So, in the Background field, you would have something like what is shown in that page:
#00ff00 url('smiley.gif') no-repeat fixed center

Borders would go into the box that says "Extra CSS Attributes". You would put in something like:

border: 1px solid #0B198C;

Sorry, but I don't see it. This is what I see:

edit: The path for your image should be "images/Header.jpg", not "images\Header.jpg"

It looks the same on your forums as it does on your home page.

In your header try changing

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="998" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="left"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/Header2.jpg" border="0" alt="Comunidad ComeBoca" /></a></td>

<td align="right" id="header_right_cell">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->


to

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="998">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center"><a href="index.php"><img title="Comunidad ComeBoca" src="images/Header2.jpg" alt="Comunidad ComeBoca" border="0" /></a></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->
