Three Coding Problems..Help please!!

First off, I am VERY MUCH a noob at this! I will need very clear, cave-man like instructions please.

Problem #1- I would like to post a youtube video on the portal (which is set as the homepage). I know how to embed a video, but I do not know what "widget" or where to post the embed code in order to do this. Please help!

Problem #2- On my forums, there is background for the categories and forums but not the actual forum posts. I would like the backgrounds of the posts to be solid black, NOT have the page background. How do I do this?

Problem #3- Is there a way to post a flash image? Or even a flash homepage? Like the flash homepage comes up, you click it, and that takes you into the sight?

Help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

1# - You can use announcements => Administration Panel => General => Messages and e-mails => Announcements => General announcements options:
Activate announcements : Yes;
Announcements display : Portal;
Scrolling : Deactivate;
Then click to create announcement and put code to Content field.

2# - I don't understand. Can you explain more? A screenshot, forum url maybe?

3# - http://www.wix.com/ / https://help.forumotion.com/t124-logo-in-flash

Sure here's the screenshots:

See in this one you can see a black background behind the topics:




But in this one you can only see the actual page background:

But provide your forum url please?

www.tribalgaming.forummotion.com

I need to disable the under construction...so one sec!!

Add in you CSS Stylesheet, after the last codes you have there:

Code:

div.postprofile,div.postbody{
background-color: black;
}

It didn't work...?

But should... Ok, try:

Code:

div.inner{
background-color: #000;
}

or:

Code:

div.postprofile{
background-color: #000;
}

div.postbody{
background-color: #000;
}

Fixed...and I realized why none of them were working...I re-copied the entire CSS so nothing was saving. Thanks! Please close thread!
