What directory do I put background images in to use on the website?? sbbs/webv4/???? I created a custom.css in sbbs/webv4/root/css. Is this the right tag if the name of the background is "background.jpg"??

body {
background: url(background.jpg);
}

Anywhere you like, as long as it's publically accessible (the browser needs to be able to source the image from there). I'll suggest:

sbbs/webv4/root/images/

body {
background: url(background.jpg);
}

I believe the URL needs to be quoted. If you create an "images" directory and put "background.jpg" there:

background: url("/images/background.jpg");

I actually made a tutorial on this on outwestbbs.com bulletin 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------

Ok here is how to mod your webv4 in synchronet 3.17 in your sbbs\webv4\root\css directory open or create a file called custom.css in plain text format.

if you just want to change the background color put this line in your custom.css

body {
background-color: black;
}

you can change black to any html color green, red, blue, yellow etc..
or you can use a HEX color ie.. #1e88e5 #00c853 #546e7a
here is a good website to find HEX colors https://htmlcolors.com/

or you can add a background picture as well below is an example

body {
background-image: url("http://yourbbs.com/pics/background.jpg");
}

in sbbs\webv4\root create a folder any name you want to store your backgrounds. example sbbs\webv4\root\pics


hope this helps
