I have uninstalled and re- installed on a clean database recopied my forum, and I still have a problem that I am going crazy over. I have mybb1.68 installed and am using The Apart them by Justin. for 1.6x. The only other theme I have on there is the default theme.
The background image Justin has there for the body is
background: #FFF; url(images/calm/bg.png);
.. When I try to even change the color of the background it will not work.
I have my container as this:
color: #000 url (images/calm/bg.gif);
Then changed it to:
color: #000; url (http://mysite/forum/images/calm/bg_.png) repeat-x;
and without the ; it is driving me nuts!
Then just tried to change the color and nothing.... Huh
'color' is the text colour. That should be left as #000;. You need to change it to this: background: #FFF url(images/calm/bg.png);

Don't put ; until the end of the line.
Well I did change it and it reads :background: #FFF url(images/calm/bg_.png);

just that I would be happy even if I could get a color on.
In your global CSS do the follow;

Replace
body {
	background: #FFF; url(../../../images/calm/bg.png);
	color: #000; 
	text-align: center;
	line-height: 1.4;
	margin: 0;
	
	font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
	font-size: 13px;
}

With this;
body {
	background: #FFF url(images/calm/bg.png);
	color: #000; 
	text-align: center;
	line-height: 1.4;
	margin: 0;
	font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
	font-size: 13px;
}

I don't think this helps your problem but it's the right way to do the code. Toungue
Okay I wi ll try that now on body? See I thought so ... not container... I was told container...geeze.. Thank you and I will return,..

Unfortunatly...no...it did not do anything...Sad
