Adding Background Image?

[Stumeister2]

In Styles Administration> Management> Edit and under "Theme Element" I see a block under "Background image" which is blank at the moment. I would like a background image to my discussion board Home page and I presume that this is the spot to do it. Can you please let me know how this can be done? I am running phpBB 2.0.13.
Thanx, Stu

Well actually placing in the body css class of a stylesheet is how you would add a background image to the body page. Under the body tag of the css stylesheet add something like so

background: #FFFFFF url(/some/path/to/images/background.jpg);

Sounds good, but please be patient as I am a mere rookie with PHP.
I found the body tag but after #FFFFFF url
do I just add the url link for my background pic inside of the parenthesis?
I am not quite following

Would it look look this? #FFFFFF url(http://imageshackblahblahlogo.jpg);

Please confirm and thanx for your patience. Regards, Stu

Use server path not url

[Stumeister2]

So it would look like this then?

#ffffff url(/home/stussite/public_html/photopost/data/500&file=IMG_0810_a.jpg);

Remember you are dealing with a rookie.

Thanx again, Stu
