Any help would be very appreciated!

Offhand, usually something like that would be in the <body> tag. <body background=""> I guess it would have to depend on CSS for a certain style or possibly in a table somewhere.

yep, just add it to your body CSS declaration within the STYLE MANAGER

in the "background" field enter something like:

Code:

#ffffff url(/image/goes/here.jpg) top repeat-x)

change the value of #ffffff
change the image url
additional "background" options:

scroll
fixed
top left
top center
top right
center left
center center
center right
bottom left
bottom center
bottom right
x-% y-%
repeat
repeat-x
repeat-y
no-repeat

So is this under style manager / default style / Main CSS / Body

and under the background i put in that code?

i tried that myself and it just makes te background all white, but doesnt show the image and i have confirmed the image link is correct.

can you post the exact code that you have used please

In the Main CSS of the skin, you will find "Extra CSS Attributes". The top option is the "Body" One example I have is this:

Code:

background:url('http://yourdomain.com/urbanchaos.ps2/bg.gif') fixed;

Code used in this url: http://forums.gamebattles.com/f/948.html

ok, just successfully done this via a quick port of a vB2 version I did for someone else the other week.

In the body section

locate the background box and add the url of the image so that it is in the following format

Code:

#E1E1E2 url(images/background13.jpg)

In the extra CSS attributes box place

Code:

background-attachment:fixed

You may wish for your page background to be transparent, so just delete the background from there.

That's it, you now have a fixed background.
