Hello,

Just wondering where the forum background color is specified. The background for my site is blue, but the forum backround is white.... As I have the left blocks turned off when viewing the forums you see the whole page white (except a 25 pixel column on the left that is using a bg image the rest of the site uses).

From what I can tell, the forums use one of the opentable command colors, $bgcolor . . . is there a way to specifically state what color it is to be, or am I missing something right in front of me?

I know the $bgcolors are specified in the theme.php, but what if I needed to use another color?

Thanks!

on 6.5 nukes it uses opentable for the phpbb forums, if you want to change the opentable bg from color to image you can do that by editing your theme.php, find opentable function (should be first couple lines on most themes, or if your theme uses table.php then open that.) It should look something like this

function OpenTable() {
    global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2;
    echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" bgcolor=\"$bgcolor2\"><tr><td>\n";
    echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" bgcolor=\"$bgcolor1\"><tr><td>\n";
}

change it to:

function OpenTable() {
    global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2;
    echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"0\" ><tr><td background=\"themes/yourtheme/images/yourimage.gif\">\n";
    echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"8\" ><tr><td>\n";
}

replace yourimage with what ever bg image your using. hope this helps
