Put a tiling background image behind posts in showthread.

I know it's a pretty small mod but I have seen it asked a fair bit here and on vB.com so I figure maybe one or two folk might find this helpful.

Create your tiling image.
Name it posttile.jpg
upload posttile.jpg to your skins misc folder.

Attached is a nice christmassy example you could use for default skins:

Add the following to your skins Additional CSS Definitions (changing your_skins_name_here to your skins name!):

For Default vB Skin:

Code:

.posttiler {
   background-color: #F7F7F7;
   background-image:    url(images/misc/posttile.jpg);
   background-repeat:   repeat;
   background-position: top center;
}

For Custom Skins (location of misc folder may differ!)

Code:

.posttiler {
   background-color: #F7F7F7;
   background-image:    url(images/your_skins_name_here/misc/posttile.jpg);
   background-repeat:   repeat;
   background-position: top center;
}

save
