MyBB Community Forums

Is there anyway I can place a picture rather than a plain colour on the main background of my forum?

If so how do I do it?
Many thanks!

Admin CP > Themes > Modify/Edit > Body (Customized in this style)

Background field: url(http://imageurlhere.com)

Still can't get it to run for some reason.

Got it! superb! Thanks!

Background field: url(http://imageurlhere.com)

Should be: url(images/whatever.xxx);

xxx = jpg, gif etc....

Or the path to wherever you keep the image.

And put the image either in the forum/images folder or the folder of your choice and change the 'path' to suit.

Don't know why it would require http:................. etc. ?? As MyBB appends your url in front of it.. with the

$url variable

Actually, it's not true, unless you've put in the $settings[bburl] setting explicitly in the theme. It's the browser that defaults to the current directory if you do not have http://yoursite.com at the front. And it really depends on where your image is located (you need http:// if it's on a different domain).

I'm sorry Tomo if you think I did it to make you look stupid. Because that was not my intention.

Maybe I should have said:

Could be, instead of "Should be".. and that would have made it an option, rather than a rule.

ill just point out you can override the preset field by declaring it again in the extra css section.
