I am trying to make my Forum board skin smaller so more of the background shows and I thought this is how it is suppose to be done but when I edited the theme and nothing nothing happened, still the same size. I am using the Light Brown skin.  Thanks for any help you can offer me.

   padding: 12px 30px 4px 30px;
   background-image: url(http://usera.imagecave.com/AJ/graphics/candy_corn_lt.gif);
     margin: auto;
     width; 70%
}

I changed the margins nothing happened.  Is this a fixed size theme that will not allow for  margin width changes?

chiquitita I just saw oyur board and it looks good but I was thinking if the background image was fixed it would show all the band members as you scrolled thru the boards.
If you add the line in bold to your css it will make the background image fixed so the board floats over top of it. Actually copy what I have, put in your url for the image and change the padding, margin and background color to meet your needs. Hope this helps.

valadi - if you've not yet gotten it fixed try this:

/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
   background-color: #EDECEA;
   margin: 0px;
   padding-top: 12px;
   padding-bottom: 4px;
   background-image: url(http://usera.imagecave.com/AJ/graphics/candy_corn_lt.gif);
   margin: auto;
   width: 70%;
}

Hi lOOmis, thanks for the tip, but it didnt actaully work. Probaby because my backround isnt in the CSS, I just have a link for it in my header/footers

Thanks Sibyl,

I kinda forgot all about this post.  I used the fix you gave me and now the board looks so much better and less congested.  You and the rest of the Mods are the greatest.

Thanks for all the help you all have given me over the past 6 months.
