okay, i've tried every different method listed on 3.6.4, and nothing but the original method described works:

Using this makes the image not centered, and it repeats

The png (watermark) image looks great in FF 1.5 and 2.0 as well as IE 7, but it
is illegible in IE6....any ideas

unfortunatly there is no way to fix it in ie 6 or lower

is there?

Ive done this mod and works fine for me...but my moderator says theres nothing there for him???were both on IE6

That's nice. It would be great if the backgound is selectable to the users. So they can pickup background they want or nothing !!!

Wont work for me in 3.6.4.....Suggestions?

im confused

With some skins, I had to change the default background color of the text box to white (#FFFFFF) before it allowed me to add the image. (IE: change the color by clicking on the color box beside the line where you enter the information, select the white color box then save. Then it allowed me to add the image I wanted for the background.)

how come it doesn't work on my vb .. i use Version 3.6.4

Any fix for the 3.6.4 yet ? :|

i tried to install on 3.6.4 but it doesnt runs correctly, it's shows the image but if i scroll the page the image moves ..

I've found that this works but only if you turn off the enhanced reply box by clicking the A/A button on the top right.

just a fyi

1st thanks for figuring this out

i did it Ev!L ErN!E way and had the issue with the image being center to the screen not the box

then i did it Ntfu2 way and it works fine in firefox2, and IE

thanks to both you guys, apprecaite it!

im on 3.6.4 and can not get it to work, I have tried almost every combination, any suggestions?

excellent *INSTALLED*

Is there a way to make it transparent/fade the image, so when the users types over the image, you can still see the image?

i put it in WYSIWYG Editor, it does not work
but it works on the Input Field .. weird ..
and i also have the image in title bar too
how do i remove that?

Thank you Ev!L ErN!E,

I had a play about with it and got it working really well :D

Install

I can't even change the color of the actual text editor. What's going on? The textedit is default white. i tried just changing the color black, and nothing.

What's going on?

bump

I install it and looks very nice thank you.
I have a questions please..
1) Why only works with the show enhasend (WYSIWYG) Editor Toolbar and not wit the athe 2?
Is there a way to make it work in all 3 of them?
Thank you.

Running 3.6.4, this is the ONLY way I got this to work. I tried all the suggestions for the quick edit and those didn't work at all.

Oh well. :(

Works fine.. but I have an issue with it.

I thought the "background-position" attributes of "center center" would place my image smack dab in the middle of the editor window.. but what it does is place my image in the vertical center of the window, and the top half of my image is cut off by the editor toolbar (bold, italic, etc) So I can only see the bottom half of the image.

Is there any way to place the image in the very center of the editor window at all times?

Well the original code worked for 3.6.4 no drama...

@TheMilkCarton - perhaps your image is too big? Mine is only 150px square.

this did not work for me on 3.6.4 no matter what I tried.....kept scrolling etc. Would love to have it working though :)

I deleted the "fixed" portion because that centered the image on the page and not in the input box (at least on my site). Give it a try, it couldn't hurt.

@smoovie,

Does yours always stay centered in the editor now? Like, if you click on the "Increase Size" arrow to make the editor bigger, does it still keep centered?

I just can't seem to figure out why mine won't do this.

Yes, it' always centered now. I just can't figure out how to remove it from the title input field.

I just remembered that I was messing around with different things with this (adding and removing bits of the code). When I tried to just delete the "fixed" again it wouldn't stay centered. I had to put all the original code back in and save it. Then delete the "fixed" property again. Then it was ok.

well...I would love to have this...but can not get it to work without scrolling or showing itself in the thread title boxes...I have tried everything that I could think of...love the mod, just wish I could get it to work on my board lol...

well... I finally got it in there, but when I add it to the input fields box it shows up in the title on new reply...anyone else having that issue?

brvheart: You're putting it in the wrong place...put it in the WYSIWYG Editor area (just like in the screenshot) above the Input Fields one. Made this mistake myself at first!;) :o :D

you shouldn't be doing anything in 'Input Fields'...the coder of this hack should take that part out of the instructions.

smoovie: There's a line underneath that says this...tick the box, then save.

Thank you, so how do I get it in the full reply as well as quick reply?

Just like I said...in the WYSIWYG Editor area. Mine shows up in QR as well. Here's what my code looks like...

In the 'Standard CSS Attributes' in the background line...

#FFE4E1 url(images/pupkit.gif) repeat-x center fixed

That's my background color and image.

In the 'Extra CSS Attributes' box, you want...

background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: bottom center;

Just make sure your image isn't real big.:)

Hope this helps you!;)

Mine did not add it in both quick reply and Reply...

I just scrapped this way and did it with a template edit instead and it works just fine....guess there is more then one way to skin a cat ;)

Well I fixed my problem too. Apparently when you declare the background position in the Background box where you enter the url(), it doesn't work right... as if it's applying the positioning as relative to the image, not the background. I thought I knew CSS pretty well... and I don't think this should be happening. haha.

Anyway, I declared "background-position" over in the extra attributes box and NOW finally, the image will stay centered no matter what size the editor box is.

thanks for the help :)

nice

can this be done in 3.6.7 ?? can some one test that or plz make it available..

i got it to work but the pic in the quick reply scrolls if i move up and down were could i possiblie fix that ?
