by Jeremy Colton Kirtley May 12th 2022, 10:11 pm

Years ago someone from this help forum gave me a code to make part of my forum a little transparent the only problem iv ever had with it was the pictures i post are also transparent is there anyway to make just the pics solid an keep it how it is? Thanks

If its impossible maybe it could just be less transparent then what it is i can also post the code if it helps?

What exactly do you want to be transparent on your forum?

I guess these spots but with the pictures solid

I circled a spot where the background bleeds threw as an example

Those areas you marked do not have images as backgrounds. You will need to add them.

First of all, i would like to suggest you to upgrade from Phpbb2 to ModernBB or AwesomeBB for better performance

Second, just find and remove this line in your CSS

Code:: .bodylinewidth { opacity: .8; }

Then add this

Code:: .bodyline { background: transparent!important; }

Code:: #wrap { background-image: url('https://i21.servimg.com/u/f21/13/26/30/58/imagen11.png'); filter: alpha(opacity=65);}

Add this to modify the #Wrap in the CSS, if you already have something modified in #Wrap only add this modification. You will be removed from your AP all the background colors you have, to get it transparent.

Changing opacity to 0.9 helped but the background image is still bleeding threw into the covers is 0.9 the highest i can go? I tried 1.0 and transparency wasn't there

Try the CSS that I put you.

As you see it puts an almost transparent background color like the images you have put, and the images of your forum do not remain transparent and look good

This is the code that i added but when i added it the transparency was gone.. I also tried adding it below the code below but no luck

Code:: #wrap { background-image: url('https://i21.servimg.com/u/f21/13/26/30/58/imagen11.png') !important; filter: alpha(opacity=65) !important; }

After making the changes, clear your browser's history and cache.

Making a change to some other forum Phpbb2 to ModernBB or AwesomeBB will delete your skin and you would have to restart all over again as Phpbb2 codes are not the same at all and 95% of the codes you use now will only break your forum theme so it's not advised to change over unless you are happy to redo your theme / skin.

@ape if i upgraded would all of my content/posts be gone also?

by **SLGray** May 16th 2022, 8:20 pm

The only things removed and erased would be your current theme and customized CSS. The templates will also change. The JavaScript/HTML coding could also not work since most are created for certain versions.

Well the forum is for people who collect discontinued hiphop tapes would one be better then another for that? How do i upgrade?

Is it possible to have the image/album covers from inside the topics show up where i have marked as a preview
