http://gyazo.com/8bc9914b8eadd4575e161fce5106a164 Left

http://gyazo.com/9db952577c9833d7366e3feae992ccd6 Right

Site itself is http://w2oe.com/forum.php

Let me know how to edit the width for my forum.

I dont want the theme like this, I am making a battlefield only clan and would like help with a design if any one can help for free.

You can't "add stuff like this". You have two attachments. One shows left site, one shows right side. The site you got that from does not have a left side and right side. It is a single image set as the background with an empty area to allow for the content to be placed in the center of.

Back to my other question: What is your width set to now? Or, do you know? If not, then you would have to provide a link to your site so someone can tell you what you need to do.

Still not sure what you are exactly asking.

If you are looking for someone to create some graphics for you. I would try the request forums -- a battlefield graphic should not be to hard to do.

If you are asking how to add graphic borders to your own template and you have some HTML experience then I can pass you some references to some examples. Graphic borders are nothing more than a HTML element wrapper on the vBulletin page. Looking on your site's HTML the author has already added a few wrappers.

<div id="pageWrapper">
<div class="pageWrap">
vBulletin Body HTML
</div>
</div>
</span>

Your site is not set to 1000 I just looked.

Is that the doc width, If that is i have set it to that

you could register and do it for me if you want.

K4GAP

01-14-2014, 08:59 PM

Did you leave it at % or px ?

Do you see the difference?

Nevermind, I was looking at wrong style. Now you need to make another change.

Change doc_margin on the left and right to auto and 0 for top and bottom.

TopHoster

01-14-2014, 09:00 PM

I did 1000 px

K4GAP

01-14-2014, 09:06 PM

I did 1000 px

One of your mods, "top 10 stats" is wider than 1000 so you need to change that 1000 to make up for that mod. Make that width 1070 instead of 1000.

TopHoster

01-14-2014, 09:09 PM

Done this

K4GAP

01-14-2014, 09:15 PM

You made changes to auto in doc_margin? make sure to uncheck "Use the 'top' value for all sides"

Also make "body_padding" 10 in all blocks.

Np, I need for you to find a background you like and message me the url. I'm sure I can't come up with anything original.

As for your banner, does your group have a clan tag?

I actually have used that one on an E107 gaming site. I already have it in my files. I just need to cut out and expand the center for your fixed width.

It'll be later this evening.

Does your Clan have a gaming tag.

I've completed the basic background but still have a LOT of touching up and need to draw in some details. It's 3:30 am here in Kentucky and I'm going to bed. Will get back on this tomorrow afternoon when I wake up.

Keep in mind this image has some rough edges and still needs to be detailed.

Before we start changing images, the one below is just one of what you presently have ...
http://catastrophicgamingnetwork.com/images/styles/ClanTemplate/style/pageTopBG.png
I'll be sending you one to take the place of yours. Be sure to notice the file address of the one you have so that you can overwrite it with the one I'll post next....
The new one -v-

We'll get to the main background as soon as all these Grandchildren go to bed...

Do i need to upload that image to server. Let me know

K4GAP

01-18-2014, 10:33 PM

Yes and let it override the other image.

May I suggest that while we are doing all of this create a folder to keep all the original stuff in it.

TopHoster

01-19-2014, 12:21 AM

Ive uploaded that to the server.

K4GAP

01-19-2014, 04:17 AM

Ive uploaded that to the server.

I've got one version of the main background ready. I'm working on logo and header image now.

When you upload the background I made, you will have to set it to center and no-repeat. If not sure how to do that, I'll take care of it.

No problem, after you get the one you have coming, if it looks better than the one I had in mind, cool. If I think mine would look better, I'll make it up and let you decide.

I put that background on your site. I don't like it. Because your header region is in it's own wrap it covers up the top of the header. I had to add blank space to the top of the background so it would top out at the bottom of your header. When the page is scrolled, you can see the blank area. After all these youngin's go to bed I'll try something different.
