ok, im usualy good at making these forums and that, but i have hit a dead end
here is my forum website http://zyzzclan.forumotion.com/forum
the thing is that all the grey area's outside of the forum boxes, i want to make transparent
this is so i can use the youtube background that i have for my gaming clan as the background for both the sites
here is the clans channel so u can see what i mean https://www.youtube.com/user/zyZzclan
the rest i can do just need help with transparency and pixel sizing for background
thanks

can you piont it ouit in a screen shot.
i dont see any gray outside the forum box's?
do you mean the blue borders.

Also you do not have the background on your forum as you do on the youtube.

So i am finding it viticulture to understand what you mean.
I am sure it can be done or something close as possible,we just need to understand a little better.

oh and pixel size for what images?

info added

oh wait i think i know what you mean now by the youtube page.

You want to do translucent cells, it's in tips and tricks, but i dont think you will get it exact how it fades a little on the youtube page.

let me see what i can dig up with that

Try to paste this in your CSS:
Admin Panel > Display > Colors > CSS

Code:

#wrap {filter:alpha(opacity=60);
-khtml-opacity:0.60;
opacity:0.60;
}

Posting consecutively is not tolerated unless separated by 24 hours since the last post. In future, please use the edit button. Wink

Next time, could you use a spoiler for posting long posts? Thanks!

Try adding this to your CSS:

Code:
.bodyline {
    opacity: 0.6;
    filter:alpha(opacity=60);
}
