Forum Wrapper and Moving Text

[Daisyboo]

Is it possible to add an image to go around my forum instead of just a line? I've searched for wrapper etc but I can't work out where I need to add the code.

Also http://bumples.co.uk/vb4/forumdisplay.php?2-Main-Forum

How can I move the text 'Forum: Main Forum Main Forum Description' over so that there is a space before it?

Thanks!

What do you mean have an image go around? Can you post a link to an example or an image of an example?

And you want space just before the text "Forum: Main Forum"? Change stylevar "pagetitle_padding" to add some padding to the left.

Thanks Lynne that worked

An example of the forum wrapper is here http://www.themesbase.com/preview/?preview=6959

The purple edging is what I want to add.

They applied a class called "border" to the right and left column of the table (main content is in the center column) and then added this CSS for it:

.border {    background-color: #B4B5CC;    background-image: url("images/recipe/recipe_bdr.gif");    background-repeat: repeat-y;    width: 10px;}

Thanks again!
Just one more question - how and where do I add the class? I really wanted to work it out myself but I can't

[Lynne]

I always add extra CSS to the additional.css template.

Ah yes I thought that but I wasn'[t sure about this

How do I do that?

Take a look at their page source. They have the whole thing in a table. You'd have to redo your templates to do this their way. Probably the way to do it is to put another div around your main div and give it a background or what you want your border to look like and then a margin of just xx px and it will put an image around your main div.

OK I'll give that a go cheers! Could you tell me where I do that - which file/stylevars.

This would have to all be custom. Find the div you want to put the border around and then put a div around that and give it isn't own class, like .myborder:

<div class="myborder">
stuff you want to put border around
</div>

Then define .myborder:

.myborder {background:url(whatever....) blue repeat etc; margin: 10px;}
