[RD] Default image background on all posts

[Former Member]

I wonder if Template Modification is the way to go?

For a image background Set as default that shows on all the posts on the forum
That does not show behind the avatar

If you wanted it to be the same everywhere and for everyone in a specific theme, you could just use CSS. Edit the Style Sheet (Themes > Color & Styles > Style Sheet tab) for the desired theme and place this at the bottom:

/*adds background image to post message cells*/
.post td.content { background-image: url("http://i248./gg194/PraexeumJade/24654.jpg");}

Thanks Shrike

I can't seem to do it that way as it's taking forever for the style sheet to load
may have to wait if i can get a plugin or someway to add it headers & Footers

Thanks for your help

Do you mean it takes ages for the style sheet editor to load? You may have to quickly switch to Chrome to do that because that's the only browser that seems to manage that without lagging or crashing Once the CSS is in the style sheet, it should work fine.

And will try again tomorow - Thanks again for all your help
And I'll let you know how it goes - thanks again...

Thank you - Thank you - Thank you

Just a heads up Using Google Chrome seems to be the best option if editing the style sheet
It loads much faster and was able to save the changes - And all worked OK
Adding a background image on the posts...

Once again a BIG THANK YOU for all your help..

Hi, Shrike

How would add some breake returns





So ALL the Text on posts
would show
On the image background
With spaces added top and bottom




So there would be some spaces before the text shows on the background image
at the TOP and BOTTOM of text on the background image on pages

[Shrike]

The easiest way to do it would be to add a margin to the top and bottom of the post message. Add this line below the CSS I gave you before, changing the red to the size you want.

.post .message {margin: 2em auto;}
