Forum Centering on Background

[imported_Dyntheos]

How do you center the forum itself on the background, such as is done here, where the forum is a fixed size and is always in the center of the page?

I did I searched for centering and centering forums and centering centering.

I did read the guidelines first on posting before hand and the only thread I could find referred to nothing at all to what I was looking for.

K now I can only do one search every 30 seconds so if my first few attempts at strings do not find a return I have to wait.

My apologies, I misread your post. All that was done to obtain this affect was set the forum width to 750 (instead of 100%) and edit the body section so that instead of a bgcolor="", we have background="path/to/image.gif".

thx Saint I'll give that a shot.

Much props for the site btw, easier to nav than the vb forums..

Thanks, if you need any further help, feel free to post and I will try to be more specific .

I have gone to the forum home and changed the 100% to 800.

It indeed makes the forum exactly 800 wide but justifies it to the left and leaves a black void where it used to be.

Iam not sure iam editing the right code here.

This is on a non modified style sheet

I added the - align="center" after it and it centered nicely.

1. Goto Styles > Modify
2. Click "Fonts/Colors/Ect"
3. Find the "Header" section and add

<center>

before

<!-- logo and buttons -->

4. Find the "Footer" section and add:

</center>

to the end of it.


5. Find the "Body" section and change:

bgcolor=""

to

background="path/to/image.gif"


6. Find "Main Table Width" and set it to 750

That should fix things up for you
