How to get tables transparent after adding forum background?

[Gutspiller]

I finally got my forum background working, but I still have some tables that are showing my old background color, instead of being transparent and showing the background texture.

I have attached images on this and the following posts, detailing where the boxes are that aren't showing the background.

This attachment shows the background color on the first post inside threads. It also does the same thing on all posts throughout the thread also, in the same manner. I'm just showing the top to save time and to show that it is also going into the top part of the post also. Though it doesn't go into the spacer on all posts in the thread. All the following posts just have the background color on the side of the post table/box.

at the bottom where I have my quick reply, it also does it. I've attached an image, which should show you basically what it's doing at the bottom inside of threads also.

Can anybody help me with these problems? I tried going into my style and removing the background color, but whe I saved it, it defaulted the background color of the tables to white, so all the parts that I am trying to make transparent turned white. I don't know if that helps give somebody some ideas for helping me.

Please help, I really want a background texture, but want to get rid of the solid color background around the posts.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Well i think i got the jist of what you said.

To remove the background color of a table simply removed the bgcolor bit of the tag from the <td> tag...

You'll need to edit some of the showthread_ templates and i think you referred to the actual posts background. You will need to edit the postbit template for this :)

OK I got most of it, but I can't seem to find out where the code is located to get rid of the color that is on the sides on my quick reply. I attached an image of what I need help getting rid of.

Can somebody help me? Possibly be more specific where I might find the code?

Thanks so far Mist. :)

The background inside the red lines. The solid background color is almost exactly the same as the texture, but I still like the texture more. The top red line is where the solid color starts and the bottom long red line shows where the solid color ends. I want all of that solid color to show the texture instead of the solid color. :(

Ok well you should check inside your showthread template for any instances of {pagebgcolor} or any replacement you have set to black.

when i made my transparent style, i just used 'transparent' instead of a hex value while editing colors in the color editor. i'm not sure if you did that, but thats what i did
