      I agree background-image is preferred. I've had some odd issues on Ning with background-image, so have gotten lazy and use background, instead.

      I'm not seeing this. Can you show us an example?
      • Hey there Jen,

        I've done a lot more complicated customization on my network so I thought this would have been a piece of cake but for some reason I can't seem to get a change of background. Is it possible I may have a conflict in my custom css section? 

        Thanks

        TDB

        This is my code:

        <style>

        body {
        background: url(https://api.ning.com/files/Pwzs533TwjHRuCkPHu1*C0HoOzpCwYv30gWPD0GnBzBbm98saEt7V2n8151ycmqmzFt-zaLXhFaipuY2Q7fZUcavQKwNMWni/Untitled.jpg) repeat-vertical scroll 0 0 !important;
        }

        _

        </style>

  • Thank you Jen

  • Great tip, however what code do you need to use in order to change the background image on forum, members, blog, other groups pages etc.. ?

  • Thanks, your CSS tips for the pages worked out really well..

      Hi Doone, Great! Thanks for the feedback. =)

  • Cool will give it a try
  • You can not get the desired result unless you make Header and Module transparent. for example see http://thatsme.in/group/taza_samachar/page/6377873:Page:109860

    Of course, i have just tasted and will change the background image to make the text more prominent.

  • Great job!
    how do I center the image?

    Thanks Jen!
