I assume that alot if not all of the themes for 6.5 that have the matching forums use the cellpic(1,2, or 3) system for displaying the different backgrounds. Incase I'm wrong then I am using subBlack theme pak. On the forums where you are first sent upon going to the forum, there are the cellpics. There is the cellpic1 that I think would go to the bottom of a section(or any other module for that matter) and then the cellpic3 would go on the top of a section. The cellpic2 is similar to cellpic1 but it kinda curves upperward as it goes from left to right. Well pic1 & pic3 are gifs, but pic2 is a jpg. The jpg does not match color wise with the others. So I saved it as a gif in hope it would match up. My first ques is where do I go to change a line somewhere that currently uses cellpic2.jpg as the background to now use my cellpic2.gif as the background? What file is really all I need. My second ques is where/what file is the table height defined for the same cells? The tables have higher heights then the pic are big so when used as a background it repeats for that last little bit. When the cellpics are a transition from light to dark, it doesnt look that good when it goes from a nice fade from light to dark and then repeats back at light. If you think this ques has allrdy been asked then plz save your time and just tell me what to search because I have searched for 30+ mins to come up with nothing.

I think I found in the last five forum posts block, that the tables are 28 high, but the pic are only 25. So it is repeating for a little bit. I just cant find where to change it for the actual forum itself. Still waiting for help plz.

The forums are based on a template system. If you want to modify your forum you need to modify the templates associated with that theme.

themes/YOUR_THEME/forums/*.tpl

Using subBlack theme for 6.5. The cellpic1.gif and cellpic3.gif for the theme are fine. But the cellpic2 does not match with the other cellpics.

Cellpic2.jpg as you can see is the one underneith Topics, Posts, and Last Post. Which file has the command or tag that expresses cellpic2.jpg. If I know where that is then I can change it to an image that does match the other cellpics. I was told . . .
Thanks IACOJ for the help. I have went to every *.tpl and fixed my first problems with the cell height. I still havn't been able to change the cellpic though. Is it a .css file that defines it or what? A specific file that controls it would be helpful so I can check my work for about a fourth time.

in the forums.css file
or in the overall_header.tpl file

The first code you gave me I had allready edited to what I wanted. The second code I think I found but I didn't see anything to do to it. There has got to be somewhere else that it is expressed/defined. Is there another file that says what T_TH_CLASS3 is? Maybe I would have to go there and change it too. If there is a file that says what T_TH_CLASS3 is then what is it called? Even after changing that first code block you gave me, if you click veiw source once you have loaded the page in your browser, you can still scroll and find that it is displaying cellpic2.jpg.

Mighty, if you're listening out there.
This may be the same bugger.(thinking out loud)

Ok try this.
GO to your Nuke Forum Admin.
The on the Left click on Management under Styles.
Edit subSilver
scroll down, you'll see
Table Header Class 3: cellpic2.jpg
Try changing the name there and saving the settings.
If it works. bah humbug

If it works then it is another not well worked out bug in nuke 6.5

I think I need to start diggin in the Code. The style sheet control in the Forum Admin should not be affecting the Themes that have a Forum template included with them at all. Plain as that.
I'll start digging. This needs to be fixed right. I don't think it has been.

I wish you luck and all the help you need
