I was playing around with adding a background image to my forum to see what it would look like. However, no image is appearing.

I placed my background image in my forums image folder. I set the URL in the Admin section. But nothing shows up. What step am I leaving out?

I removed the background color and still no image. I must have messed my code up somewhere.

Ack! You got two bodies and two heads!

The second body tag is just <body>. Methinks that's your problem.

Hmmm. It must be the way I set up my forum using the site integration mod. I need to go back and relook at how I did that...

That was the problem. However, now I have a new problem. How and where do I install my custom css file?

inc_header.asp search for meta name=""copyright"" and put it right after those 2 blocks.

I actually put this....

%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="meta.asp" -->
<%

right after those 2 blocks. That way I don't have to mess with forum files to change head content, just add it to meta.asp. I have some additional meta tags and my CSS in there. Works like a charm.

I didn't see your css in your meta.asp file. Also, what do you mean by after "those two blocks"? Do you mean the part in red?

meta name=""copyright""

I know what you mean by the two blocks now. You're talking about that whole copyright section that appears twice.

That meta.asp page is a great little idea! That works great! I named mine addedheadercontent.asp so I would know what it was in the future.
