HELP!! CSS BOX NOT WORKING!!

[justamom]

Hello...I need some help with the CSS code.  I have a code already written..but when I put it in the box and hit apply...NOTHING HAPPENS!!!  Sorry for the caps...but we've been trying to get it to work for 2 days with no success. If someone could please give me some assistance on this, it would be greatly appreciated

Can you post the URL of the forum. It could help the Nabble team to diagnose the problem.

Certainly, thank you so much!!!     http://psychoz.1070529.n5.nabble.com/

Please, write at the css box only your css code. Do not write tags like this:

<style type="text/css"><!--

ok, I've removed any and all instance of these tags and I'm still getting the same thing...NOTHING.

When I view the source of your forum, the LINK line that should indicate the contents of you CSS styles points at an empty file:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=site_style" type="text/css" />

I don't know anything of the inner workings of the .jtp file, but maybe there is still some code on the "Enter your custom Cascading Stylesheet (CSS) code:" dialogue that shouldn't be there and it is that that is causing the script that generates the file to choke. It might be worth posting the code you still have in that dialogue here.

This is the code I'm using. It was written by a friend, so I don't know much about it.

This last code worked in my test forum. So, use it and for other changes ( font, color) use our change appearance top menu. Is it enough?

I'm not sure I understand which part of the code you used. I have no problem with using the color/font selections available...I just wanted to change the background itself to this   http://i45.tinypic.com/6hucg1.jpg

[GregChapman]

I confess that I didn't fully understand Pedro's post either. However, I have also posted that entire batch of code into my test forum and it appeared to work as expected. (There's much in it that will have no effect. Some appears to be specialised code that will only work on your main site.)

(I did make one little change. In the last line:

{color:#FFOO99!important;}

the double-O should be two zeros )

As to the background... The section:

body {
        background-color: black;
        background-image: url(http://i45.tinypic.com/6hucg1.jpg);
        background-position: center center;
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        background-attachment: fixed;
        } 

should do it!

[justamom]

Thank you...but it's still not changing. I don't understand what is going on...but it won't even change with the preset color schemes

Well, after trying all of your suggestions, nothing worked.  I was about to give up, when my partner made the decision to create another page and see what happened. It WORKED on the new page!

I still have no idea why it's not working on the first one....but I would like to thank both of you for all your help.

[Pedro]

Please, give your new page, I'm also trying to understand what happened. In my forum, your code seems to work fine.

[justamom]

No problem. Here's the link  http://psychoz.1072107.n5.nabble.com/
