Uhm...How do you make the bakground stay and not repeat itself over and over again?

You can change all pictures and background images in your admin panel in "Display / Pics Management / Advanced Mode". You will also find there a box "Background fixed" at the right-hand side.

I know that, but I don't know what background fixed is for, doesn't matter though, if I check the box or not, it won't appear, except I paste the link into the ccs stylesheet...But now the problem is I want to make the background stay still and not repeat itself? Any tips?

Edit: I can't change the font size nor the colours of most of the stuff =x= I find it rather annoying how I did it once and now I can't do it...

"background fixed" would be if you are using a graphic (picture - not color) as a background and wanted it to remain in one place and have the rest of the forum move up and down over it. The code you could use to do this would be ...

Code:


<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:
url('URL TO BG IMAGE');
background-repeat:
no-repeat;
background-attachment:
fixed
}
</style>


The font sizes should be editable from your control panel, display, colors. Scroll down a bit and the font tags are there.

Thanks a lot for that one, but the font sizes don't work, yes dispay-colours and a bit down, save, doesn't work...And the colours too Dx

EDIT: Didn't work...

If you have a theme installed that uses a custom CSS sheet, then it might overwrite your settings in the admin panel. May I request your forum URL please? And please also note where exactly you want to change the font size and the color.

Where did you put that code? It should definitely work - it does for me.

What version and template are you using? If standard phpBB, try going to the admin panel, pics and colors, advanced mode, and look at the preview on the right. The 2nd or 3rd box down is for BG picture. There is a check box under examples that says "fix BG". Put a check there and save it.
