My site is http://www.taoofmrsparkles.net/forum/

I added background:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/HemiTAO/bannermid.jpg) no-repeat into the 'extra css' box under "Page Background." It works perfectly for the FORUMHOME (Aside from a slight misalignment, but once i figure out the other issues i can edit the picture to compensate)

The problem that i need help with has to do with reading a thread. When you are actually looking at the posts, the picture repeats itself in the bottom
(example: http://www.taoofmrsparkles.net/forum/showthread.php?t=246)

What can i edit to stop that from happening? I am using the basic theme, but i have edited certain aspects of it. If there is a specific template that i need to post just tell me and ill attach it.

-Thanks,
Firus

You know, after some modifications, i came to realize that its simply a problem of the picture showing up twice, on every page, although some pages just have the second iteration covered up completely. How do i make it show up only once?

Simple CSS, add this after/under your background-image in the same class

background-repeat: no-repeat;

Should do the trick :)

hmm when i add that attribute the picture will not show. Reminds me of when i tried to add 'center' to the end and it also would not show.

Exactly this, right: background:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v299/HemiTAO/bannermid.jpg) no-repeat background-repeat: no-repeat;

I just did, and the picture popped up, but it is still repeating twice. Is there something in the templates that refers to the "Page Background" class in two different spots or something?

Still repeating? Have you cleared your cache?

It shouldn't. Are you using the <div class="page"> </div> round your whole forum?

cleared my cache, still there.

Neg, i have not edited the template itself. I cannot decipher it.
