how can i add a background image to the default template of MyBB. I know its to do with the .CSS file but for the love of god were is it

it's in the global.css file (in the theme style settings)
change the value of the body background, and #container background.

so instead of it being background #000 it would be background image/bg.gif yeah and the same in container

so your saying i have to enter the full url of my image to have it as a back ground

if it in a sub folder under your forum root folder you can use this

background: #fff url(sub_folder/my_image.gif);

where #fff it's the color hex code, and sub_folder/my_image.gif it's the path where your background image is located.

i made a mistake. can some one tell me the default colour for #container please as i edited the wrong box.

the default background colour is #fff

would someone mind telling me why I would need to insert the color code in this case #fff before the url(sub_folder/my_image.gif);
