Forum Url: http://www.broomscape.smfforfree4.com
This is what it had
Code:
/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
background-image: url(http://www.smfboards.com/Themes2/userstyles/Chronicles/bg.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed
}

and I changed it to this yet nothing at all a happened. Did I do something wrong.
Code:
     /* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
             background-color: #E5E5E8;
             background-image: url(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z98/FinishTheFight_2007/FishinspaceFinal2-1.jpg);
             background-repeat: repeat;
             background-attachment: fixed;
             margin: 0px;
             padding: 12px 30px 4px 30px;
}

MY FORUMS:
Code:

Code:

That happens because browsers cache the CSS and don't download it every time, to make it faster on slow connections(like mine). Once you refresh, it will re-download the CSS.

Omikron  yep thats correct.    Just seems, at times,  for some people it takes longer after they refresh and  Im not sure why that happens.     It always changes immediately for me when refreshing my browser.
