msn background pic

[Surfdown]

I didn't realize you could customize the msn forums with your own backgrounds. BTW MSN Messenger 6.2 is neat if you haven't checked it out. ;)

John not being funny i'm i missing something because i can not see what you are on about.i'm not talking about the messager i no you do your best but i'am talking about HTML what does that have to do with a messager i'am a programmer not a java or html person sorry but you have lost me the best idea i have had was from

To add a background to a custom page , first put your background into the photo album.  Then open background to full size.  Right click on it, choose properties, highlight the URL - (you must scroll to get it all or triple-click on it), and copy (Control+c).
.. then in the table box... where ya choose the background could.. is where ya put the propper URL.. if ya need any more help.. just ask ....

here is a list of HTML that ya can use for MSN groups...

• Anchor: <a>
• Map: <map>
• Area: <area>
• List Item: <li>
• Base Font: <basefont>
• Ordered List: <ol>
• Paragraph: <p>
• Break: <br>
• Table: <table>
• Break: <br>
• Caption: <caption>
• Column: <col>
• Table Data: <td>
• Column Group: <colgroup>
• Division: <div>
• Table Header: <th>
• Definition List: <dl>
• Font: <font>
• Table Header Rows: <thead>
• Headings 1-6: <h1> - <h6>
• Table Body (groups, rows): <tbody>
• Horizontal Rule: <hr>
• Table Footer: <tfoot>
• Image: <img>
• Table Row: <tr>
• Unordered List: <UL>
</li>
