Hi,

I'm very new to MyBB and have just made my very first website. I want to use myBB to everything it says it can do. (I want to import my own websites users to my MyBB forum, I want to customize the layout, and I want to be able to link it through to my website with php scripting)

anyway, first things first. I went to the theme settings and created a new one. then i went to global.css, and changed the body to this:

Quote:body {
background-image: url (img/background.gif);
background-repeat:repeat;
color: #FF6;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center; /* IE 5 fix */
line-height: 1.4;
}

As I don´t know where global.css actually is, I just uploaded the picture in the directory forum.

EDIT:

I now see i've recolored the text like; Powered By MyBB, © 2002-2011 MyBB Group.

however, the background image still isn't working and it only changes those letters. not the actual forum itself Confused

sorry if i'm being noob-like here!
your background image (background.gif) should be uploaded to ./Forum/img/
I did. it's working now. (already figured it out)

thanks.

however, now I have this other issue... can't log out........... and I can't acces my admincp either (even tho i'm logged in as an admin)
