I can't find how to do this and it is delaying everything...

Is there somewhere a tutorial for the styles?????? Just simple color and background image instruction?

PROBLEM CURRENTLY is that I can not get my background image to show up by inserting the following code into the wrappers dialogue box. What is wrong with this or am I barking up the wrong tree entirely? Do you have to be excellent in css to customize the look of your board?:

Code
<table width="100%" background-image: url("http://mysite.com/styles/images/backimage.jpg");
class="t_outer" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" class="t_inner" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1">

What is see when I enter the url you provided. is page not found. So I would assume that the image does not load due to it does not exist.

I was thinking it may be a case sensitive issue but I had noticed that your running an IIS Windows server so that is out.

What's the exact URL to your UBB.Threads?

Do you want it to display as a background for the whole page?

If so, go to the style you want to edit and in 'General CSS Properties' expand 'body' and add:
Code
background-image: url(http://topkayaker.net/styles/images/06BLUE.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
repeat - The background image will be repeated vertically and horizontally
repeat-x - The background image will be repeated horizontally
repeat-y - The background image will be repeated vertically
no-repeat - The background-image will be displayed only once

Well currently the main CSS appears to be distorting your header image.

Background image is showing for me, but the overall page is set wrong. I'm using Firefox and the header image is on the TOP LEFT and the FORUM is on the FAR RIGHT side of the Header image. Makes one have to scroll to the right to get to the forum.

Looks fine to me - Firefox 3.0.3 - dead center with no scroll bars showing.

I have the same thing as ntdoc. Looks like it's not clearing the div from the header to the actual forum content.

Thanks guys...i fixed this in my old classic...guess it is back to the css drawing boards......

Please check this page and let me know where it is that I get a wrapper around the unwrapped content on this page:

http://www.topkayaker.net/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=2&page=1

BTW have to say that the style sheet control panel > styles > edit feature is a work of genius.

If by wrapper you mean the header/footer section that appears above/below the actual forum content, then you'll want to go into Display Options -> HTML Includes tab. There you'll see the default header and footer where you can insert your html.

The wrappers are actually for the individual table open/closes which are scattered throughout the page.

NO...but thanks for being quick. feel nervous with this upgrade from classic and want to go live but these empty spaces around certain things wheren the background image shows through...i want it to have a real background of white etc. These are the items "missing" a background: at link above:

Backgrounds for NEW TOPIC / FORUM OPTIONS / PAGE NUMBERS are in your Styles > General CSS Properties > .tdheader

If you want a white background, for example, just add:
Code
background: #ffffff;

no no no..i have the image as a background on the text...but then it ends and there you see through to the main background. I want the whole forum wrapped in a 749px block of white and then behind that block my main background image.....well, maybe not the whole forum wrapped in it but at least I'd like all the table heading blocks to fit the forum islands. not just end and begin like a button in "mid-air".
