I've never touched a style sheet before, but I know a bit of HTML so I fiddled with some basic things.

This is where I've gotten so far.

How do I make the background a picture?

I love the video you have on your page

[nabsgood]

hmm so where i come from, no answer is a yes

btw, can somebody tell me how to reset my page ?
I can´t even access it anymore ? (the edit part)

Nice.

Here's a solution that, while not pretty, should work:
1. Open your page (you should be logged in)
2. Write "javascript:document.forms.form_aboutme_freetext_e dit.stylesheet_reset.checked=true;document.forms.f orm_aboutme_freetext_edit.submit();" in the address line (without the quotes, of course) and press enter

This should reset your stylesheet. If you have something in the old stylesheet you want to save, you can see it by viewing the source of the non-working page before you reset.

How do I make the background a picture?

Here's something to get you started. In the style sheet find the following bit:
Code:

Code

body {     margin: 0px;     padding: 0px;     background: #000000 url(/images/layout/bg_04.gif) top center repeat; }

The background-line here determines the background for the body-element. The first part is the background color as a hex triplet (#rrggbb, #000000 is black, #ffffff is white). This color is shown wherever the background image or some other element isn't.

Now, if you wish to use an image of your own, you put the url to the image between the brackets after "url" (you currently have to host this somewhere else). The words "top center repeat" control where the background image is positioned and whether it's just displayed once or repeated.

The default background image is http://www.yougamers.com/images/layout/bg_02.jpg ,repeated horizontally and vertically, producing the pattern you see at the edges of the page. Now, if you wanted a picture displayed just once in the top right corner, you'd put "top right no-repeat" instead of "top center repeat" and so on.

See http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp for info on positioning your background image.

Hope this helps!

That's an awesome video - I had great fun just playing "Name That Game!"

Javascript, CSS, and Flash embeds are allowed? Wow, time to exploit!

If you guys want to remove content (ie the welcome stuff), just use "display: none;" for the CSS.

I think this is one of the coolest forum extra's around...

after all the negative talk, the hard heads trying to customize to change... there is light!

I like it, very cool and well thought.

Cheers ! [thumbup]

Now all I gotta do is spend time on it and develop some skills.

any ideas for a background?

[naturaherbal]

They should rename it to GeekSpace.

I think this is one of the coolest forum extra's around...

It was around in beta form a while back in April but folks didn't seem that keen on the idea - give 'em a carrot in the shape of a spangly new laptop and...

hey should rename it to GeekSpace.

Now don't be giving people any ideas!

To be honest, the ability to modify CSS, which really let's you make the page your own, was added just recently.

Oh and unless I'm mistaken, -tags are filtered out from the user editable text to cut down potential abuse.

[aspinswramymn]

You should give the people the ability to add their own div layers. Or at least give us the ability to fully edit the already existing ones.
