Background image being reloaded every page.

Despite testing and using .htaccess and other caching methods I cannot get the background image of xenforo to stay cached.

Is this due to the fact that the path is declared as @ImagePath making is a relative rather than absolute ?

This would generally just be down to the browser. Once the path is output, XenForo has no involvement in how the image is loaded. You would need to open up your browser's development tools and look at the network section to determine whether a request is being made for the file. .htaccess (or similar) would be used to apply caching headers. If you see the image is being loaded from cache, then it may just be how the browser is loading the page.

It is being loaded from the cache. Thats rather frustrating that its the browser.
