Well for some odd reason my forum wont display images I put in the bck ground or I tried to put an image in the pm category and it wont show them. I've tried multiple things like writing the full link, parts of a directory other folders in it. So I've decided to swallow my pride and ask for some help. Seems it wont work when I add them in the TD tags like

background="forum/technoverse/pmimagebar.gif" or background=<img src="/forum/technoverse/pmimagebar.gif"

I tried many multiple situations. Any help would be appreciated.

The correct HTML to force a background would be:

background="/path/to/image"

That shoud work as it is valid, unless you are missing something somewhere else, such as a ' or ". The only time you use <img src=""> is when you are inserting an image.

Hmm interesting enough that worked. I wonder if I had / in front or not. I dont remember but that doesn't matter now. Thank you much SD

How about background="images/filenamehere"?

Thats used on the vB.

You're already in the forum directory, so you don't need the /forum/ or forum/ unless you are using an <img src> code, which you would have to put the full url =P.

@Tony: He may not have his images saved in a folder called 'images' ;)

Well anything can work, since it reads HTML. :p
