'Page Background' Problems

[Angels1928]

Hello everyone,

I'm developing a skin for vBulletin. I'm in the process of coding it--but there's only one problem. This skin is a total b**** to code as I didn't take the layout into consideration (it's my first vB skin). Without going into details about the rest of the skin, here's my first problem:

I have my page background set to an image that repeats vertically (reason why I'm using page background, and not anything else--see above. B*** to code. My last resort). The problem is, near the footer, the background image suddenly shifts to the right about 5-7 pixels. This isn't good as it makes my website have a small scroll bar on the bottom, allowing me to scroll those few extra pixels.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Here is the code I have for the background image (put into the main Page Background's Background text field):

#1d1d1d url(http://my-website.com/DIR1/DIR2/background.jpg) repeat-y;

I've attached a picture of this issue.

My second problem also pertains to the background image. On the main forum (where it shows all the categories, etc), the forum displays fine. However, when I view a thread, the background image starts again in the post. The image is a fixed-width, 1250px-ish design, so it makes the forum very wide. This might not make sense, so I've attached a picture of this as well.

Any help would be appreciated,
Angels

Does anybody have any ideas?

i think you should redraw structure again.. you havent assigned the background image to right attribute as its repeating in diff. place. try put it in body of main css.. though what you are trying to do is more of a give side edges which i would either suggest done using div or tables. so its holds the full forum together.

Thanks, I've fixed the alignment problem seen in the first picture. I reverted the Footer template and it's better now

I'm still having a problem though, the one seen in the 2nd picture. How can I fix this? If I put the background picture in Body, nothing appears.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting much help on this issue here...Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go for support on my problem?
