Forum content size -_-

[Vorilias]

Hi, im trying to find out how to give my forum a direct size so it doesnt interrupt the background image, please view my forum here: http://relentless.omgforum.net

on different sized moniters the black forum content areas grows/ shrinks depending on the resolution of the users screen. i want to restrict the size to a forced size of 950px but am not sure how to do it

can anybody help? thanks in advance^^

Okay, you know how you can change the forum width to a certain percent? Just enter 950 in the field with the "%" sign and it will automatically read it as pixels.

thanks, i already know of that from html experiences...however where can i edit this

I cannot find where i can change the forums content background from '%' to '950px'

thanks in advance to anyone who can help me

about in the middle of the page under "page structure"

Don't type "950 px" in, type "950".

Don't type "950 px" in, type "950".

I only typed 950 it only allows for upto 4 alpha-numeric characters anyway so i figued i wasn't to write 950px as it doesnt allow me to

but..it still does not work O.o my forum hates me hahaha

Is there anything in your CSS?

[Vorilias]

yes there is... i've scoured through the CSS sheet but i cannot find the right area, il keep looking though if you think the error lays there

[Vorilias]

w00p it turns out it WAS in my CSS code, thank you all very much for your advise and help

I have run into another problem however -_- im trying to get my background to centralise to the page so that it wraps my forum correctly, you can view it here: http://relentless.omgforum.net

i have been trying to do this in the CSS stylesheet i currently have this written:

Code:

body {
   background-color: #000000;
   background-image: url("http://i85.servimg.com/u/f85/14/25/35/87/flucks10.jpg");
   background-attachment: fixed;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
   }

i have tried replacing the "background-attachment: fixed;" with "background-attachment: center;" but im not quite used to CSS yet? can anybody help? thanks again
