background problem?

[Dark Aura]

Hey,

I have added a background image to my forums and its fine, however when you get on to viewing a thread the background image repeats it's self over and over at the beginning of each persons post, how do I stop this from happening?

If you want to see what I mean look here - www.silent-imperfection.net/emma/images/Image1.jpg

What's the CSS you're using for the background? Looks like you just need to add some repeat conditionals to control the way it repeats -- similar to background { #000000 url(path to image/image.jpg) norepeat top left; }

Yeah that seems to work for the index and the forums when they are displayed but when you open a thread, at the beginning of every persons post the bk repeats over and over like in the picture i posted...I can't seem to fix this :$.

I seem to also be having the exact same problems with my new style. The postbit seems to repeat the .page bg even with the addition of the no-repeat top entries. Its really quite irritating. I've looked throughout the entire postbit and threadbit templates but cant seem to find a hint of the error nor a .page reference on those pages. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Heres a preview of the problem:

I've managed to fix this little problem.

The source of the problem is the template file called spacer_open. It has the class page in it which causes the multiple bg repeats. To fix it, create a .page2 set in the css. Transfer everything into that except the picture. Make sure you edit the spacer_open template classes to page2. Then go to your header, find the spacer_open tag at the bottom and replace it with something like this:


<!-- spacer_open included by gbboy (pgamers.org) -->
<!-- open content container -->
<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" align="center"><tr><td class="page2" style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
<else />
<div align="center">
<div class="page" style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]; text-align:$stylevar[left]">
<div style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">
</if>
<!-- end spacer_open -->


Hope that helps anyone else with the same problem :)
