Topic: modifying my styles

Okay, I have used tons of different forum software, I recently found XennoBB....I went on vacation and came back to see people accusing them there. I decided I didn't want to deal with the crap that would come from that place so I came here! To what XennoBB really is! PunBB.
I made the conversion yesterday and today I am converting the skin. I've run into one small problem.
I am trying to use a background image but with no luck it won't repeat it all across the screen.
Here is what i'm using.

BODY {
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #6b6356;
BACKGROUND: url(../../img/pbtb/bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position: left top;
}

It doesn't repeate the image....idk why and can't seem to fix it. sad
Thanks for the help.

Re: modifying my styles

Try removing background-position.

Re: modifying my styles

No go.
I used the Nosebleed template and just changed all the colors/images in it.
Then when that didn't work I edited the Body as you see it.
BODY {
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #6b6356;
BACKGROUND-IMAGE: url(../../img/pbtb/bg.gif);
BACKGROUND-REPEATE: repeat;
}

Link to the theme (pre-modified)

Re: modifying my styles

BACKGROUND-REPEATE: repeat;

Re: modifying my styles

The image works, it just won't repeate everywhere.
It repeats on the Y line only...and only does it inbetween the categories/header/footer.

Re: modifying my styles

I'm not sure why the repeat is funky for the background (if I were you I'd do a little research on the repeat property), but I can tell you that it's not going behind the categories/header/footer because each has it's own background - the page's background does not apply to them. Getting rid of their backgrounds then using "BACKGROUND: inherit" might work, but I'm not quite sure.

Re: modifying my styles

Is that just a black picture? =/ If it is, just use a background colour, not an image.
