Hello, I was wondering if I could edit the forum to have the background non moving and the forum scrolling? If so could you please tell me how to do it? Thanks!

Hi,

I wonder if you've already tried anything at all?
You could try adding a fixed position to the css for the background

Umm I really haven't tried anything because I just started in this stuff so I am still trying to learn so that's why I was asking.

Ok I was just curious :lol:

try adding something like this in the style sheet to the section where you added the image ( I assume at least you already added that?):

Code: Select all

   background: url('./images/YOUR_IMAGE') no-repeat 0 fixed;

ps... leave the background colour as it is, to avoid flashing white while the image is loading in the browser

If you haven't added the image yet and mean only the left and right field outside of the left and right border this would be the body section

As you had assumed I did that quite a while ago. But I couldn't figure out how to make the background still so I went to a prosilver theme. Even though I thought this theme was a lot better then this prosilver I am using I would love to have the background do what I want on this theme.

The only reason I can imagine for switching to a prosilver based template would be because some coders refuse to write for subsilver based templates, but even that only means you have to do it yourself (which is a only little challange in some cases and in my opinion no reason to leave your favorite template).
Anything you can do to prosilver should possible to do to subsilver based, only the code is different.

The previous posts contain all the info you need I guess (unless you want more background as non scrolling image than just the sides outside the borders)

Let me know if you got it fixed or maybe even post a link to the board, that would be nice

Alright I did actually get it to work myself. Here is my http://mindlessgamerz.com/forum/index.php
And here is the code I did. I put it in stylesheet.css

Code: Select all

body {
   /* Text-Sizing with ems: http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/ */
   font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;

   /*font-size: 62.5%;          This sets the default font size to be equivalent to 10px */
   font-size: 10px;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 10px;
color: #bcbcbc;
   background-color: #111;
 background-attachment:fixed;
   background-position:center;
   background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/the-jo10.jpg");
/* for IE */
    filter:alpha(opacity=70);
    /* CSS3 standard */
    opacity:0.9;
   /* for FF */
   -moz-opacity: 0.9;
}

Kinda messy like I said I am a newbie but I got it to work.

Yeah I've seen that code arround somewhere before, I don't really understand why they do it that way when it can be done in a sinlge line of code. (but it also seems to work)

your link just shows me you now have some space above the forums and lost all space inside the sidebars.. but maybe you like that and want it like that.

congrats on fixing it another way

PS... I would use single quotes arround the image path

Greetings,

I don't see what you are talking about with the spaces I see everything just fine. Either that or I am just use to the forum being like that. And one more question how would I put sidebars for like html codes? I saw this one code but it didn't exactly work for me all it did was put them at the footer and it didn't go to the side just stayed there.

I'm not sure what you mean but if you mean what I think you mean.. I guess you have to edit the overal header (for adding stuff at the left) and overall footer (for the right) because the code needs to be before the left border code and after the right border code.

a picture paints a thousand words, so here's 2000 words below :lol:

: New top space; top space.jpg (4.67 KiB) Viewed 209 times

: New top space; top space.jpg (4.67 KiB) Viewed 209 times

I think you'll notice that the tables of the forums are now squashed between the side borders

MindLess Ghost · by **MindLess Ghost** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 2:30 am

Yeah wow I never did notice that and the reason why for the mindless killers is like that is because of I took out the site name. And thanks I will give it a try.. Will probably fail but its worth a try.

Joshua203 · by **Joshua203** » Fri Mar 30, 2012 6:25 am

the first screeny wasn't aimed at "for the mindless killers" but aimed at the added space above your forum (without adding a top border to it)

Goodluck with whatever you descide to do

BTW.. way off topic but ..your chat is not allowed to guests, but it's still eating bandwidth if a guest is at the indexpage since it still looks like it's refreshing every 5 seconds (and it has a missing image)

Also at /forum/chat.php there is a double date/time at the top
