How to change the stock background/wallpaper/style (whatever you may call it). Where do I find different images of such that can be placed as the background, how do I apply them?

Thanks

That would be in the style editor.
General css properties.
Body

Depending on how you want it to appear.Tiled not tiled.
it would be something like
Quote
background: #FFFFFF url('http://mysite.com/path/whatever.gif');

Ruben, I followed your directions and have hit a wall. I have two forums. One is complete and running the other is being built. I am referencing the running sites settings and colors. The area you are talking about is coded and set the same way on the new site as the old, but the back grounds are different.


I need all the help I can get.

Have you put your wallpaper image in the /forums/styles/images/ directory?

You need to FTP upload the image to the server. UBB can't do this.
