Example of a missing image: http://www.myparentconnection.com/im...irlTalk_01.gif

Find the girltalk folder inside Upload (in the zip you downloaded), and upload the entire folder to your /images/ folder.

I would thought you had this resolved by now? Did you make full url paths to all images in StyleVars and Main CSS? You need to also edit the header template aswell to full url path to get your images to appear in cmp.

[FLMom]

I must be a complete idiot because I am just not getting this

Okay, so when you say, "Did you make full url paths to all images in StyleVars and Main CSS?" would that be this~ images/girltalk/buttons & images/girltalk/statusicon? I tried it with http://www.mydomain.com in front and nothing showed up.
And with the main CSS, I found this section, but am not sure where to put the full url paths. And again with the header template, where do I put it exactly.

Remember, I have never done this before and this is all like a foreign language...very confusing, but once I get it, I get it

Main CSS
Look for this ' Standard CSS Attributes ' and you will see Background:#E5E5E5 url(images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left
You just add

http://www.myparentconnection.com/forums/

inside the bracket in front of image path like so.
Background:#E5E5E5 url(http://www.myparentconnection.com/forums/images/gradients/gradient_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left
Just find the rest and do the same, you might need to do it to all, but then it is not my style and I do not know much on it.
Also check in Main CSS in Additional CSS Definitions -> (Customized in this Style)

You need to check the header and add in this below, in front of what is there.

http://www.myparentconnection.com/forums/

I know you uploaded the file correctly, as I seen it working on forums and it was not displaying on cmp's. You just add what is above and it should work.

I think you have forum or forums

[FLMom]

YAY!!! SO far so good! I only did the first part and now I can at least see the icons and buttons....will do the rest later when I have time. I just had to come on here and tell you thank you! You are amazing!! Thanks for being so patient with me!!

Okay, I found all of the 'Standard CSS Attributes', actually there were quite a few of them, but only two that had any type of path in it:

Table Header- Background #E0E6AF url(images/girltalk/girlTalk_07.gif) repeat

and

Buttons- Background #E0E6AF url(images/girltalk/girlTalk_07.gif) repeat

**Are these the only two I should mess with? I did try adding what you said but it didn't work. Also, I didn't see anything with gradients in it?

So the last thing with the additional CSS Definitions (customized in the style)~ It worked!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

Can you post a picture of your StyleVars and anything with images in Main CSS.

Post your header template here as well.

Here is the header template:
