I asked how I could get an avatar to set as the background image in a table, and posted what I had tried that did not work for me. The example site is now closed I guess, it was open before but I didn't realize it wasn't open any longer, so sorry about that. I'm not sure what else to provide? I basically just wanted to put it as the background image in a table, so I could have information appear on top of it, since its the background. Probably using transition CSS.
right, so you want to use the avatar as the background image for a table determined in css? It can't really be done because the avatar url is not consistent; sometimes a png, sometimes a jpg, sometimes an remote file, sometimes a hosted file, sometimes an uploaded file.
There are plugins that make it possible to use the avatars in the board outside postbit, but they are not really suitable for what I think you want - it also depends where you want it. Maybe take a screenshot of what you are trying to achieve?
as you want it IN postbit then you might have to make it an overlay - already suggested I think.
I tried to edit a screenshot of the postbit area to show what I mean. So like right now this is what the avatar looks like in a postbit -

Oh okay, so I think I may have figured out the overlay thing, I was wondering if there was a way to slow it down? so its more fade in instead of suddenly showing up? like with transitions?
