+Desert_Warrior Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 For those of you who like me have changed the background on your cache pages, I have discovered that you can also do it on the Travel Bug pages. What I have not figured out yet is if you can change it on your Personal Profile. Anyone figured that out yet? Thanks. Mike. Desert_Warrior (aka KD9KC). El Paso, Texas.

SE7EN Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 You mean like in my profile? Look at the source, it's actually fairly easy. Look at the source right after "Other Hobbies" and go from there! Quote Link to comment

But why should they discourage custom profile pages? Except that I read a post by Jeremy and I quote, "I seriously despise puppet accounts so please don't be deceptive. " So, I'll be on my best behaviour. ...mostly. Quote Link to comment

Look at the source right after "Other Hobbies" and go from there! I must admit your ability is impressive. However, it only highlites my lack of ability. If I read it right, you are changing the entire screen. I only wish to change the background to a .JPG file. I am not smart enough to follow your code, much less know what to change. Yours is much to complicated for me. If that is what I need to do, it won't happen. Thanks anyway. Mike. Desert_Warrior (aka KD9KC). El Paso, Texas. Citizens of this land may own guns.

+GeneralBracket Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 <heh heh> That's pretty slick. You have inspired me. I blantantly ripped off your code, modified it, and did the same to my profile. Seriously, if you're offended I used your code I'll take it down. Quote Link to comment
SE7EN Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 No problem. Upload the graphic you want to use. Put <BODY BACKGROUND="//domain.com/your/graphic/here.gif"> somewhere in Bio, Hobbies, or Recent News. NOTE: Do not put the HTTP: as the site script will try to convert it to a link. Use "Slash Slash" and then the rest of the full URL, but not the HTTP:. Works with IE5.5, don't know about the rest. Cheers! Quote Link to comment

I can fix a radio, or a pollution monitor, or a radar, or even a computer. But something this software stuff is as challenging as I can stand. It works now, and I can even see why!

Perhaps they find it useless(as far as a 'profile' is concerned), I know I do . Not that your profile would tell much anyways Quote Link to comment
Team VaxCave Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 easiest and most standard compliant is by way of style definition. Use the following to change background <style type="text/css"><!-- body { background-image: url(//domain/images/image.jpg); } --></style> Quote Link to comment
