MyBB Community Forums

I was wondering if we are allowed to use the background of the MyBB forum/website for MyBB themes.

I am asking this since I am working on a theme which will be a more advanced version of the regular Default theme called MyBB Pro (http://community.mybboard.net/thread-59406.html ) and I would like to use the following image and CSS from the mybboard.net for the theme:

body
{
background-color: #efefef;
background-image: url(http://mybboard.net/assets/images/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: 0% 0%;
text-align: center;
}

Thanks,
Zomaian

Yes you can as MyBB didn't even make it . It's a squidfingers background if I remember correctly. Plus MyBB is opensource so either way yes .

Sweet thanks, I forgot that .

Errm - wait!
MyBB is open source but Mybboard.net isn't. I remember discussions about the theme here and if parts of this theme can be used and I think the answer was no...
Maybe a MyBB teammember should comment this. I'm not sure about it but there is a huge difference between MyBB software being open source and this website being open source - it's not

Kind regards

Well I know this forums background is from squidfingers so doesn't matter anyway.

Yeah, the background he can use, but making a copy of the MyBBoard.net theme was a no.

Yep. The site design at mybboard.net is copyrighted. However, the background can be used since we got it off Squidfingers

Alright thanks .

Though mayhap you should DOWNLOAD the image, and upload it to your own server. Hotlinking is bad Especially for bg images lol.
