Im making a custom forum list (similar to pepsteam.com forumlist)

Now, when I apply the middle section, the image doesn't load, and the forum is stuck. I tried copying pepsteam and still does nothing.

forumlist
Code:
<!-- BEGIN forumrow -->
	<!-- IF (forumrow.S_IS_CAT and not forumrow.S_FIRST_ROW) or forumrow.S_NO_CAT  -->
			</ul>

			<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
		</div>
	<!-- ENDIF -->

	<!-- IF forumrow.S_IS_CAT or forumrow.S_FIRST_ROW  or forumrow.S_NO_CAT  -->
    <div class="forumcat"><strong><!-- IF forumrow.S_IS_CAT --><a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}">{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><!-- ELSE -->{L_FORUM}<!-- ENDIF --></strong>
					</div>
			<div class="forumcat-mid">
			<ul class="topiclist forums">
	<!-- ENDIF -->

	<!-- IF not forumrow.S_IS_CAT -->
		<li class="row">
			<dl class="icon" style="background-image: url({forumrow.FORUM_FOLDER_IMG_SRC}); background-repeat: no-repeat;">
				<dt title="{forumrow.FORUM_FOLDER_IMG_ALT}">
				<!-- IF S_ENABLE_FEEDS and forumrow.S_FEED_ENABLED --><!-- <a class="feed-icon-forum" title="{L_FEED} - {forumrow.FORUM_NAME}" href="{U_FEED}?f={forumrow.FORUM_ID}"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/feed.gif" alt="{L_FEED} - {forumrow.FORUM_NAME}" /></a> --><!-- ENDIF -->

					<!-- IF forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE --><span class="forum-image">{forumrow.FORUM_IMAGE}</span><!-- ENDIF -->
					<a href="{forumrow.U_VIEWFORUM}" class="forumtitle">{forumrow.FORUM_NAME}</a><br />
					{forumrow.FORUM_DESC}
					<!-- IF forumrow.MODERATORS -->
						<br /><strong>{forumrow.L_MODERATOR_STR}:</strong> {forumrow.MODERATORS}
					<!-- ENDIF -->
					<!-- IF forumrow.SUBFORUMS and forumrow.S_LIST_SUBFORUMS --><br /><strong>{forumrow.L_SUBFORUM_STR}</strong> {forumrow.SUBFORUMS}<!-- ENDIF -->
				</dt>
				<!-- IF forumrow.CLICKS -->
					<dd class="redirect"><span>{L_REDIRECTS}: {forumrow.CLICKS}</span></dd>
				<!-- ELSEIF not forumrow.S_IS_LINK -->
					<dd class="topics">{forumrow.TOPICS} Topics<dfn>{L_TOPICS}</dfn></dd>
					<dd class="posts">{forumrow.POSTS} Posts<dfn>{L_POSTS}</dfn></dd>
					<dd class="lastpost"><span>Last Post:
						<!-- IF forumrow.U_UNAPPROVED_TOPICS --><a href="{forumrow.U_UNAPPROVED_TOPICS}">{UNAPPROVED_IMG}</a><!-- ENDIF -->
						<!-- IF forumrow.LAST_POST_TIME --><dfn>{L_LAST_POST}</dfn> {L_POST_BY_AUTHOR} {forumrow.LAST_POSTER_FULL}
						<!-- IF not S_IS_BOT --><a href="{forumrow.U_LAST_POST}">{LAST_POST_IMG}</a> <!-- ENDIF --><br />{forumrow.LAST_POST_TIME}<!-- ELSE -->{L_NO_POSTS}<br />&nbsp;<!-- ENDIF --></span>
					</dd>
				<!-- ENDIF -->
			</dl>
		</li>
	<!-- ENDIF -->

	<!-- IF forumrow.S_LAST_ROW -->
			</ul></div>

	<!-- ENDIF -->

<!-- BEGINELSE -->
	<div class="panel">
		<div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>
		<strong>{L_NO_FORUMS}</strong>
		<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div>
	</div>
<!-- END forumrow -->

The code block for the custom forumlist
Code:
.forumcat {
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/cat-header.png");
	background-repeat:no-repeat;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	font-size: 1.1em;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-transform: uppercase;
	width: 878px;
	height: 45px;
	padding-left: 39px;
	padding-top: 16px;
}

.forumcat-mid {
	width: 878px;
	padding: 0 9px;
	background-image: url("{T_THEME_PATH}/images/cat-mid.png");
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
.forumcat a {
	color:#FFF;
	text-decoration:underline;
}
 
Just seen that Christian Bullock designed that style, he doesn't like others using his ideas. Not quite sure what the problem is anyway 😕
 
And it says he's unavailable for freelance as I wanted him so I almost cried myself.
 
I got a response from Christan Bullock

Christian 2.0 said:
Rather than trying to rip code from one of my client's sites, why not explain what you're trying to achieve so we can help you write your own code from scratch? 🙂

My Response:
Ok, well im trying to make a new custom style for my site. I already made the whole site wrap. Im trying to also make a forumlist similar to pepsteam, warez life, and smf default style so it can stand out. As for the header and navbar, I will code that later. The view topic page, well im gonna leave that alone for now.

So basically im just editing the forumlist and the header.

I have made 2 successful custom phpBB styles so far.

The problem is this, the forum row is stuck and out of bounds. The image thats supposed to repeat is not doing its job.
 
Could we have a link to the site or a screenshot of the problem?
