PHPbb Forum graphics

How can I get rid of that black and make it that dark maroon color? Nothing I try seems to work.

Make sure the bgcolor attribute of the body tag in overall_header.php is set to the proper value.

Also check the .css file "tempalatename.css" (insert your template name of course) and make sure the body style background attribute is also set to the proper value.

Actually, i think that black is a texture that the phpbb template calls as a background graphic. Mine works that way...the textures at Nirmanweb's forums are basically graphics pages loaded as a background; if this is the case for yours (which is probably is, since it's probably the same package) then you're not going to be able to change it by changing the background colour.

You could change it by creating the page image you want to use, and then uploading it with the same name as the current black one, and overwriting it, or by editing the php to "point" to the new background image, if you want to load it with a different name.

Make backup copies, in case you screw something up while editing the php.

Hmm, quite possibly. I use my own templates so I'm not quite sure about it. If it is a background image, you should still be able to change it by replacing the background image reference in the overall_header.php and <templatename>.css files.
