I just started making a forum on one of my favorite operating systems, MS-DOS. I started it on InvisionFree.com, and I was wondering how to add a background from an Image I have on my desktop.

This made me laugh.
Really hard.
First of all, hacker is standing up for m3ga. That's funny.
Secondly, he thinks everyone repsects him enough to take his advicce.
Thirdly, he pointed to yahoo answers.

I find it somewhat funny aswell. Hacker, you don't have to stand up for me in anyway. When I first came to Sydlexia.com, I said some stuff I regret saying, and that formed my reputation here. I can take a joke from Blackout. I just sorta stopped working on it. Half because I'm lazy as hell, and I only finish something when I'm motivated as fuck. The other half, because I've got better things to do, like listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Play Video Games, try and get this girl I really love to go out with me. (I so hope the latter comes true at one point.)

my favorite part about this is how when a forumnam breaks out everyone bitches and fusses "NO MOAR FIGHTING PLZ GUYS!" and then those same people have nothing better to do than to post something negative every time a certain someone posts. seriously here guys. I'm an asshole, I don't like the kid, and yet I still have the common sense not to post just for the sake of saying something mean.
if *I* can do it, of all people, maybe the rest of you should grow the fuck up. hell, MURDAR barely flamed the kid, and he made fun of lordsathien's dad. how does that make you all feel about yourselves?

I still think M3GA is a troll. This thread does not change my opinion.

I recommend you not post it in yahoo answers. And if you don't know, it's because of my Yahoo Answers project. Shittiest. Answers (and questions). Ever. Try it. I dare you.
M3GA, have you tried to do a google search before you posted here? *bangs M3GA's head against keyboard* THINK, MAN THINK BEFORE YOU POST HERE!!!

What the fuck, who uses MS-DOS in this day and age?
Dude, accept it: no multi-user mode, virtually no security... Just get Linux already.

 You should totally check out the IRC channel.
While you're at it, go check out my band, Her Majesty's Heroines.

Ooh, Ubuntu. I remember how I liked that system until they started adding more and more bullshit to the new releases and moved to Slackware, Debian and eventually OSX. When I put my old computer back together, I might try 8.10, just for nostalgia's sake.

Eh, it was a good beginner distro, easy to set up, good support on the forums and it works for me... Hey! AT LEAST I'm learning something different....
M3GA, I'm proud of you for learning MS-DOS, that's really cool! *cough* *cough*

I have never used InvisionFree, but if you tell me a bit about what you have access to, I might be able to direct you to an answer.
Do you have CSS access?

This is the definition of an Internet Troll/Troll
An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
I'm pretty sure I've done none of those things.

1.) Mods, can we please move this to Other People's Projects.
2.) You sometimes do fit the description you wrote above. More often than not you are just an idiot. Either way, I don't see how this post is a trolling post. I see you asking for help... moving on.
3.) I am trying to help you.
4.) Reply to my previous post.

M3GA MAN,
You have now ignored me twice.
I have made it clear that I am willing to help you on this, but you seem to have lost interest.
I kindly request a Lemon Party.

| Code: |
body {
background-image: url(http://www.example.com/image.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
|
Now we can actually begin to do something.
With CSS access you can adjust the body or any other tag to do what you want.
In this case, you want to manipulate the background image.
The first line will address what URL you want to point to for an image. Change the URL to point to the background of your choice:
background-image: url(1.jpg);
The second line specifies if the image should repeat. If you want it to repeat just don't include this line. If you want it to repeat vertically only or horizontally only let me know and I'll post that code:
background-repeat: no-repeat;
The last line states that the image shouldn't move even if the page does. This is called fixed positioning. If you don't want fixed positioning just don't include the line:
background-attachment: fixed;
I hope that this helps you out. If you need further assistance please include the URL to your website so that I can see the HTML structure.

JEW is right, you know.
You guys seriously need to lay off hacker and M3GA.
Flaming someone every time they post because you think you're somehow better than them only proves that you're not.

FNJ is never right. Even when he is right, he isn't.
But Syd might be.
If M3GA would respond back about his topic, he would be getting additional help, but he hasn't been very good about communicating.
