Adding an image to your Post background (version 1) - As it says on the tin

View attachment 41504
To add a background image to your posts, open your extra.css and add the following:-

Code: 
.messageList .message {
  background-image:url(http://bookloversforum.com/styles/blf/xenforo/misc/postwater.png) !important;
  background-position:100% 90%  !important;
  background-repeat:no-repeat no-repeat !important;
}
Url will match your own site obviously. Background-position may need adjusting dependant on image size and where on the post you want the image to...

Try adding .messageContent replacing it and taking out Messagelist. Haven't tested it so unsure that will work.

Just make sure to upload your own image, since you may find it annoying when i replace the one in the code with something less friendly :D

Question: does the post area have to be fixed or does this adjust down for responsive styles?
Click to expand...
I'm pretty sure it will adjust since it's using percentages for fixed widths. As for responsive add-on (if i read correctly) if it suffers adverse effects add it to the stuff you want to hide when responsive kicks in. which you can do via extra.css.

Here is what I am using. Found the clipart on the web and since I'm learning to use Gimp got to playing with it. Anyone that wants to use it you can pull it (and I mean download it, not use it as your source file) from http://twowheeldemon.com/images/pen.gif or just drag the image to your desktop from the message.


This is what it looks like


Using this code
Code: 
.messageList .messageContent {
  background-image:url(images/pen.gif) !important;
  background-position:100% 90%  !important;
  background-repeat:no-repeat no-repeat !important;
}

That's way beyond my abilities, I'm afraid :) I'm no coder, I just tweak css occasionally.
