I'd love to know if there is a code for our Page here on The Hill, that allows a Background of say 800 X 600 to stretch to fit the different sized monitors that it is viewed on.

No the best way to deal with this is to add a background color then put the image over this.  There really is no way that i know of to have a background image fit every monitor.   You could make the background rather large, but then everyone viewing at a resoulution of 800x600 would have to scroll.

On the ghostmaster page it looks as though I have a image all over the page, but i do not.  If you are viewing in Firefox then rightclick the background and be sure that your not on any text and select  "view background image"   you will see just how large this image actually is.  It will surprise you. 

The point is there is code for this, but it does not work for every browser. 

‹img src="someimg.jpg" width="100%" height="100%"›

If the height is off and looks like crap then remove it, and see if that helps.

sorry forgot to post the link 

Thanks for your answer .... Your image is perfectly centered on your  GhostMaster page 799 x 754   Looks great.

To use this code   ‹img src="someimg.jpg" width="100%" height="100%"›

Where would it be placed?
I also have a question regards "someimg.jpg" but the placement of the code may enlighten me as to whether the "something.jpg" is an image stored on my computer or otherwise.

I currently seamless tile all of my backgrounds, so as they look ok but would have loved to use a Framed Background.
Really enjoying learning more of what makes everything work.

PS  I discovered the different Browsers thing, when I 'thought' my perfectly saved .png images had transparent backgrounds.
Well, they did on some Browsers but I was soon told - not all.

Try just putting the html tag along with that code and the end tag.  I always wanted to know what would happen.  You make a good guinnie pig.  :)  Place it in the about me section.  Under profile settings. 

Like this:

‹html›

‹img src="someimg.jpg" width="100%" height="100%"›

‹/html›

we need to test any way.  How else will we know what works or not?   BTW you must store the image online like at photobucket, and put the link to that file on photobucket in the code.  Full path

 I'm wanting to use my image as a background for my page  ...  I placed it in my "About Me" section and just ended up with a huge image in there.
I've removed it but did you want for me to leave it there for you too look at.
It wasn't a good look on my page. lol

I don't know if this will work or not.  Have you tried pasting that code into the CSS (advanced users) box at the bottom of Design My Profile section?

I did Mouse,but it made no change what so ever.

If the image is the only thing you want to change under settings you go to design my profile, and the very first option is to add a background.  I would be curious to know what this does to the image.... center? stretch? etc.   let us know please.

The thing to understand is we are all learning as we go along.  What works well for the other social nets works may not work here at NOTH as well.  Expect flops due to this, and due too human error.  Computers don't make errors they just produce new features.  :)

Wee, I tried putting that code in the Design my Profile/Background and it wouldn't even take the code via copy/paste.  So I typed in the code using a photo I had stored in Photobucket, and nothing happened.  Maybe I didn't wait long enough, but I am not sure that spot works with code...it tells us to Browse and I browse to a picture on my computer and it takes it. 

Thought I'd throw that out.  If someone else is successful in putting something in that Browse space other than what is on their computer, and if they used any code, I'd be interested in knowing. 

It is my understanding that some sites do fluxuate their sizes to fit the monitor being viewed, so I would think there is a code that would do that.  Where to find it is another thing and would it over ride NOTH's setting.  Looks like we have our work cut out for us.  lol
