Try doing it with CSS.
Go to Admin CP > Display > Colors >CSS.
Add this code there and submit...

Code:
body {
background : url(http://www.level3.org.au/img/tekken6.jpg) repeat;
}

Thank you for your help, but it only works without the "repeat" thingy, if I add it with it I get this message:

Detected error
We have counted a different number of "{" and of "}". It means your CSS risks to be not valid and will not be posted correctly on your forum.

We advise you to reread your code.


I would like the background image to repeat...please

You must have deleted one of the braces { or }.
Make sure you put exactly the same code that I gave you.

This code must work...

Code:
body {
background : url(http://www.level3.org.au/img/tekken6.jpg) repeat !important;
}

Make sure you enter the correct code.

I don't know if this topic is still relivent anymore, but I actually found out why it does not work.

The Support Moderator is right, but not quite right. This is what you need to do...

Do as he said:
"Try doing it with CSS.
Go to Admin CP > Display > Colors >CSS."


But, don't enter the code he asked you to, instead scroll down until you see this clump of text:

body{
background-color: #3b3939;
color: #E7E7E7;
font: 12px Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif,Trebuchet MS;
margin: 20px;
padding: 3;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #6A6A6A;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #EEEEEE;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-face-color: #1F1F1F;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #1F1F1F;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color: #4D4D4D;
background-image: url(https://i.servimg.com/u/f82/14/22/68/20/mainba10.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
}


And it is here you change the "background-image: URL" image to the new one. Just copy your link and delete theres with yours. It works... I had the same problem and added it just like the Moderator said and nothing happened. So I tried to find what I added and could not find it and I found that other text I showed you and found that the BACKGROUND url is there and after changing it, boom, that was it, background changed.

I hope this is relivent to others and the one in question. :wouhou:
