And i made two images with photoshop (leftshadow and rightshadow.gif's)!
But i dont know where the right place is on the templates to insert!!!!

Ý seperated my tables, corrected my codes....... nothing!!!!
Ý worked with forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and with forumhome_forumbit_level2_post!
Ý got images over and under my forumtables (used the modification instructions from this board)
There are no poroblem with the other images!But i cant add the left and right side images!???

The both images are working on the left and right side of my forum-lastpost-topics...... table!!!!!

now i tried:
1.to add:<TD vAlign=top width=18
background="images/myleftbgimage.gif"><IMG
height=10 src="images/leftshadow.gif"
width=18 border=0></TD>

in various places on this template. above-under-middle.......

2.to add:<TD vAlign=top width=18
background="images/myleftbgimage.gif"><IMG
height=10 src="images/leftshadow.gif"
width=18 border=0></TD>

next to:<td bgcolor="#F9F9F9"><smallfont>$forum[lastpostinfo]</smallfont></td>
in the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template (i worked but my tables crashed when i
tried to add the rightshadow text before:<td bgcolor="#F9F9F9" valign="top"><img src="images/$forum[onoff].gif" border="0" alt=""></td>
in the same template!!!!

is this very so hard or have i bugs in my codes????would be very nice if i get alittle help!!!

Okay so do you want to add a image somewhere? I didn't understand where you wanted. Please note that and there may be a mod to make it alot easier for you. :)

ok thank you i added screenshot to show where i want to add the shadow images!

[Tony G]

So, you basically want to add the image to the background? (So, behind all the tables)

[biber2]

ok thank you i got it! ''adding a background image to a table!!''

that was it!i tried to add a left and a right image to the table and that was the problem!now i designed only one background image (so no left and right image-just only one image)it's easier and now i got it'thanks for the idea!
