Transparent Board

[forumtester]

Is there an easy way to make the board transparent like this

So any background image will show through the whole forum.

Yes, that's exactly what I am after, only I want to keep my existing style, just make it transparent, rather than use someone elses.

If you edit the respective template of the table you want to make transparent, you want to find:

bgcolor="#" or background="path/to/bg"

in the <table table tag for the complete table, or the <td tag if you are editing just a cell. Remove that (or comment it out by putting <!-- around --> it) and see how it looks.

Ok, so which template would I edit for the main forum, Not the header or footer.

Have just changed the body background colour to # and it did make it transparent.

I think what i'm after is not transparent, but more opaque.
