Ok first off let me say that I am new to this & have just started a new forum that I moved over from AARP. Now I have downloaded your plug-in & it is in place. Now where does a member get a URL for what they want to use as a background & what can they use as a background. Is it just any photo they have & if so what would the URL be for all the newbies out here. But do like your plugin.

Thanks,

OK, evidently I have done something wrong as it is not working in my forum for my members. All they are getting is a white shadow after putting in the URL & clicking the button.
Can you help?

Ok I got it to work now but I thought the background photo was supposed to be just a shadow not a hard photo?

It's whatever photo you put in there.. You might run the photo through something like Gimp and make it semi transparent...

Ok let me give that a try as I wanted it transparent not as the predominant photo, you know like a background.

Thanks for the info

How is the revised plug in coming?.. Eaglenz your background does show in FF.

Yeah, apparently the issue is gone. Thanks all!

Bob, I'm not sure why the plug-in does nothing when I install it. I have one super key available. Are there any conflicts?

Great plugin!

Although I there is one problem.  The profile BG loads upon entering a thread, but when you go the to a different page the profile BG disappears. It can be fixed by refreshing the page, yet it's still quite annoying. I used Chrome, Firefox, and other various browsers and got the same problem.

I don't know if Bob still checks this thread, but I really hope this gets fixed

edit: I'm using version 1.2.2

I was curious to try this plugin but also have issue that image doesn't shows. I add URL to profile, save it, but doesnt show anywhere.

Only other plugin i have is for side bar so dont think its conflict with others.

im using Firefox but also view in Safari and no picture in profile background.

How do you turn off the ability to have custom mini-profile backgrounds for members? 

For this part: 

Who Can Set Backgrounds?
 
Do not edit this area if you want users to set their own backgrounds!

You may decide who on your forum is allowed to set their own mini-profile backgrounds.

I put it as Administrators and another custom user group, but today I made a (test) account on my forum as a mere member, and when I went to edit the profile settings, etc. I saw the member could change the mini-profile background. Maybe I'm missing something?

Well as you can see by this screen print I got it to work but would like a little transparency in one or the other.

I used to have this plugin installed on my forum but for some reason it stopped working. I've installed the 1.2.2. version and the backgrounds still won't show up and I can't figure out why. Any idea's on what's causing this?

I'm currently using Google Chrome and the forum is syggaming.com

Thanks.

The backgrounds also scroll. Is the option for them to not scroll going to return?

It's a shame Bob seems to have abandoned this. He's not posted here since the beginning of April.
