you go to edit my cf homepage/ profile on your user cp...then scroll down to the my cf homepage section and there should be two fields where you can enter an url for a background picture (one for the table and one for the page background) and right beneath that there also is a field where you can enter a colour if you prefer that :)
hope this helps you :)

here's a thanks from me, too!
Buttermilk, I'm so glad you asked about this in the other forum. I had been wondering how to work on the homepage, but didn't want to look like a total computer idiot.

What happened to the background for the html section? I had two backgrounds, one as the regular background (a darker one) and a muted one in the table background. The muted one did extend down into the html section (which is what I wanted), but now it doesn't. I looked on some others, and they have no table background in the html section, either. Did that change at sometime? And if it did, can I get it back somehow?

I looked at your page and some other member's pages, and it seems someone must have changed something. I looked under "Edit Profile/MyCF" for my account and there isn't a field to change the background of the html section. So, here is what you can do to get your background back....
Copy and paste this at the very beginning of your html section:
<div style="background-image:url(insert background-img url here);">
(notice: you will need to replace "insert background-img url here" with the url of the image)
Then copy and paste this at the very end of your html so it forms the last characters in the html section:
</div>
Edit: I also noticed that there is something that is unique to your page: while everything renders fine in IE and Opera, in Firefox the border that is supposed to go around the html section just forms a little empty box above the section. I viewed the source of the page, and I didn't see anything that stood out immediately that would cause this. However, I noticed that you did not close you paragraph tags; that is the only thing, that I see, that might be affecting the page adversely.
This is the code now...
<p>some text
<p>some text
I suggest either
<p>some text</p>
<p>some text</p>
or
<p />some text
<p />some text
Your page looks very good. Keep up the great work. :)

I will try that, thanks.
And I have never closed paragraph tags in html. I didn't know I had to. LOL.

that code is not working for me ....guess it's cause I use <div align=""> in the code already....
is there another way to get a picture in the background????

Well, the divide element can be placed within itself so the code really should have worked. If it were me I'd try the first code one more time. If you can't get it to work try this....
Copy and paste this at the very beginning of your html section:
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="background-image:url(insert background-img url here);">
<tr>
<td>
(replace "insert background-img url here" with the url of the image)
At the very end of your html section, copy and paste this:
</td>
</tr>
</table>

you can use <font color="#enter hex code here"> text </font>
that should change the colour of the text

the background is back...you now should have the same image as a background for the html section as you have for the table...it's not official yet but some poeple told me that without editing their html code the background image in the html section changed to the one they had put in for the table....
just thought I'll let you all know :)
