How do I add a background image to my forum in phpBB?

Where exactly do you want to add the image ?

There is a MOD for it on the phpBB site:

http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=1501895

This will allow you to add a background to your Forum list, but not to individual forums.

Couldn't he just go into the css file. Stylesheet.css and look for the body{ tag should have something like this in it..

background: #181913;
    color: #fff;
etc etc ...

add this to the section just under color:

    background-image: url(url to your image file);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed;

I would this this would work .. however, depending on size of the image, and what ya want it to do, you may have to fix the repeat and attachment areas.

If you mean adding an image to tile downwards like here on FP, then here is what you do.

Go to your css, then find

html, body {

And add this under background-color.

	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/imagename");
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
	background-position: center top;

If you want something else then let me know.

None of these are working?

 

[death180]

what kind of background image are you trying to put on?

A tiling one like here on FP, or a static image?

Just a background that always is in the back of a post, thread, index, everything. I will try to find an example.

 

[death180]

an example would be great.

wow, that image hurts my eyes.

 

[StripesAndFins]

yeah I removed, it, it was just a test

Looks better now, I think a better color though would be #76AFC0

I will use the color as a back-up, but I am going to add a picture 😛
