How to make my background scalable?

[midgetgrimm]

I am curious as how to make my background scalable in vb4.0.7. I can't find it in the stylevars nor in any style page. I'm sure I am just overlooking maybe. Some insight would be greatly appreciated.

There is no stylevar to do that. You need to add an actual image into your body and then apply css to make the image size 100%.

I was thinking that may be the case but I wanted to ask first. Thanks Lynne:up:

So I dug around and am not sure where to add. Should it go in the forumhome? I am just going to add style="###"> to the body tag, but I have had no success. Was wondering has done the same and has a simpler way to do it, or if they have any info on how to do it. Thank you so much. You can go here to see the site if need be gotgr.com

You cannot do it by just adding a class and defining the class. You need to do more.

Google is your friend in this ...

Keep in mind when you blow up an image the quality of the image goes down.
