Description and Message
Hi.

Please refer to my site - www.brummiesfans/main

There are TWO problems that I am having at the moment.

I would like to remove the white background from the main portal block but am getting confused like hell by the CSS. Can someone please tell me which CSS file and which element of that CSS file needs to be amended, to remove the white, and to give it a transparent effect for the background image to show through.

Secondly, I'd like to reduce the amount of padding in the left and right columns. I'd like to slim these columns down a bit so that the internal content (usually 150px wide) can fit snugly inside, without too much wasted space on either side. Again, a pointer into the direction of where the appropriate CSS elements are that control the padding etc that is bloating the columns as they currently look.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Did you fix the white background, or do you mean the grey borders?

I've been experimenting with the border images, and am still not happy with what I'm getting. That's an issue that I can fix myself in time.

What I've not been able to fix yet though is the matter of the "grey" wrapper that the forum sits in, which shows itself as the grey corners behind the rounded corners that the graphics provide. AND ALSO, there is a white internal background to the forum which needs fixing. I need both to be set to transparent so that I get the effect of just the content blocks scrolling over the page background image.

Thanks

Martin

OK, ignore my comment about the grey wrapper. I've discovered that it was part of the image border. All I need to conquer is the white main forum background.

Your "border-left" has a white background...

That's brilliant! Thanks very much for your help.
