i need some help understanding templates

[SmashinYoungMan]

In the forumhome vBshout template, try adding this just before the </tbody> tag.

<tr>		
<td width="100%" height="50" style="background: url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/yourimage.gif) repeat-x top left;">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>

Upload the image to the misc image directory, and rename the "yourimage.gif" to whatever the name of your image is. I made the height attribute "50" because that's the height of your image. Adjust it to whatever you need, depending on your image's final size.

Hope this does the trick for you!
