You should place the image link inside the the url() indetifier, like in my example above. Try it and let me know.

Heh, it did it!
Do you know how to replace the red underneath the navbar?
I want the image to show more.

What red? Can you post a screenshot? You can try to make the forum width a bit narrower so the background image will be shown more for ex.

If you check out my forum and go to the style changer - go to the one called PR3Knights

I also have another question - how do you make the image static? As in if you scroll down the page, the text will scroll but not the image?

Looks like you fixed both issues already. Good job.

And for those reading this thread that also would like to know how he fixed the image scrolling with the forum, here's the way to do it.
At the end of the image url add the word > fixed. Like this:

url(path/to/your/image) fixed

That pins the image down so when you scroll down the forums the forum slides over the background image. In some cases where the image is not big enough, you may also want to set the repeat to no repeat and use a filler color found at the top of the stylevar.
