CSS issue.

In the theme "gallery" I'm testing out the background-image CSS property, however I tried both inline and in the style sheet and it's not working. The template the inline is in is in the Home template. What am I doing wrong?

Hi

What are you doing, and what result are you expecting?

I am using background-image to put an image on my forum. I am expecting it to appear like the cat in this page: www.lego.com/en-us/galleries

What is the url/link of the image you are trying to set?

I tried this:

www.lego.com/r/www/r/portals/-/media/images/shared/eye-catchers/unikittyeyecatcher.png?l.r=1492370297

And when it didn't work I tried this:


images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/EWfz1HO0zmePkSJOnXUHRVrn7wt_S6PITHfVGaBPouQ/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/433424547920871434/439960617042837518/unikittyeyecatcher.png

Both didn't work.

I would suggest uploading the image directly to your theme in Themes > Theme Manager by going into the Images tab of the theme's settings, then obtaining the link after you've uploaded it by clicking on the Link button and copying the URL from there. This will rule out any issues that come from hotlinking the image (that and you really shouldn't hotlink images from other sites).
