I am in the process of modifying it to for my warcraft guild with a custom background but I have run into an issue with the background. I have read and rad a million links from google trying to get it to work correctly but no dice I figure I would come to the place the theme came from in hopes of figuring this out. this is what I am going for: [url=http://postimg.org/image/pwhu60ffv/][img]http://s17.postimg.org/pwhu60ffv/BG_Forums.jpg[/img] at first I got the entire background 1920x1080 set but then when it repeats the eagle shows up again as the forum grows. It also took forever to load considering the file was HUGE. So I created a repeating pattern: [url=http://postimage.org/][img]http://s22.postimg.org/th2d1r025/bggrid.png[/img] and set it to repeat and it loads fast and since it repeats forever it should be fine with people on bigger resolutions. Now the issue is how can I get the eagle and the yellow text in position on the right hand side and not repeating? I scoured the phpbb forums through what seemed like endless posts about people trying to do the same thing but the best I could get was the eagle and text literally ontop of the actual forum with everything shifted down. Any ideas?

Can I suggest that you replace what you have done with the original and then change the main 'wrappers' to the width that you want? As for adding left and right backgrounds and images you need to create other tables or div's above and below the theme to wrap the theme with three columns - One for the left, one for the centre (THE THEME) and one for the right. Ideally the 'new' columns need to be started after the and finish before the You would also need to use css to add the background images, and hard-code your SIDE png/gif images into each of the side columns using the paths to the images and some
