Anyone know how to go about applying a custom (full size) background image / tile image per forum?

I tried code using this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132716

<body style="background-image: url('images/background/Forum-Timothy.jpg')">

That did not work, just extra blank space.

Thanks for any tips.

I hope someone can help me out on this. I really need to get the snowflakes background working

Thanks

Try:

HTML Code:

<body style="background-image: url('/images/background/Forum-Timothy.jpg')">

Thanks Lynne. Tried that also, still getting a blank extra space. Strange, the file is indeed there.

A link to the site with that style may help.

But you aren't using the css in that style. I need a link to the site using the style (it should have &styleid=x on the end of the link).

I only have one style and that is the one you see.

I had removed the code because all it did was add space. I re-added it in this specific forum:

Just extra space above pink box that says
"The atheist can't find God for the same reason that a thief can't find a police officer. - Author Unknown"

If you want it set to the forum you'll have to use the $forum[forumid] in the path, like

background: url(/images/forum-$forum[forumid].gif

then upload a forum-forumid#.gif file to your /images directory.

Please see the OP. I mentioned that I was using a mod that allows you to post html code per forum. That mod works itself anyway.
