    Description of problem

    This image: https://2img.net/h/s21.postimg.cc/70d6hqy05/bg_wide.png
    ... I have set as the main background for my forum, however it does not display at all for some users, while others including myself can see it properly.

    My screen resolution is 1920x1080 and the other users who can see it also have this resolution, while the users who can't have a different resolution. So I presume this is the problem.
    Although some who can't see it are using mobile/macbook air, so it may be device-related as well.

    I've googled this issue fairly extensively and seen a number of potential fixes on this forum, but none of them that I've tried have worked.

    My forum's CSS:

    Code:
    body {
       background-image: url("http://s21.postimg.org/70d6hqy05/bg_wide.png");
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
         background-size:100% !important;
       background-color: #e0e0e0;
       cursor: ;
       }

    I've tried adding the following in various combinations as well, to no avail:
    background-position: center center;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    .panel.introduction .mes-txt img { width:80% }

    I'd appreciate any help or info as to whether this is solvable.

    Code:
    body {
        background: url("http://s21.postimg.org/xy73jhin9/bg_wide.png") #e0e0e0;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-size: cover;

    Hello, thanks for the reply.

    I tried that, it didn't work. As far as I can see, the bg just doesn't display at certain resolutions and devices. Is it just not compatible?

    Or are there other things I could try?

    Example screenshots from members:

    Android, Macbook Air, various resolutions.

    How I see it:

    I'm PC, 1920x1080 and it works for me, as well as others with a similar set up

    The CSS now looks like this:

    Code:
    body {
       background-image: url("http://s21.postimg.org/70d6hqy05/bg_wide.png");
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
         background-size: cover;
         background-attachment: fixed;
       background-color: #e0e0e0;
       cursor: ;
       }

    That seems to have worked, thanks.

    Can you tell me exactly what difference having it hosted on imgur made? Was the other site not compatible with forumotion or something?
