There was a list Tuitam made explaining which skins are editable.

Also tried it.
Dosn't work. And in the list subBlack is stated as "very limited or not at all"

Or am I doing something wrong? O_o

you're not doing anything wrong, if the list states very limited or not at all that means that you can not edit it. I'm sorry.

I could have, but I strapped for time at that point.

Unhappy Re: Back Ground Image Help

Don't mean to step on any toes here, but I've been trying to resolve this issue for a while. If this is not a proper place for it, let me know. I didn't want to start a new topic because there are plenty with the same problem.

I'm trying to change the background of my forum, which uses the Conundrum template. It is stated as "completely customizable". The link is http://fourcorners.10.forumer.com/index.php

I tried using the method above, using all versions of code offered by Photobucket, and I tried using the code by itself. None worked. Can you please tell me what I need to do to change the background, or at least clarify whether this template can be customized or not.

Thank you for your patience.
