The image is too small And it's watermarked, so you probably shouldn't be using it

somehow I can't get the boxes to change. it's not working for me T^T
I did everything the way you told me to do it, copypasting the piece of code into the box and added the http:// of a photo I made myself (that is on dev btw).
stil it's not working. the last segment of the code gets displayed in the box, not the image that I want T^T

yeah I got the image to be accepted.
the only thing that isn't working yet, is the fact my boxes show no customisation, eventhough the box customise does...T^T

The only thing it's not doing as it should, is actually pimping the backgrounds of the boxes T^T
The customise box finally seems to work, it's just that XD

ParadoxSketchbook In reply to ??? [2011-04-17 23:20:33 +0000 UTC]

Ummmm
I tired and there was nothing in the box.
Someone told me that the image has to be large
and I tried that. Only the top right part of the
image shows up and non of the text does.
Right now I just have text in the box because
I got tired from trying to make it work.....
Please help

mylastel In reply to ??? [2011-04-17 04:44:04 +0000 UTC]

Can I even apply this code to any box aside from the Custom Box? Like in Favorites and New Deviations?
Thanks!

Indae In reply to mylastel [2011-04-17 09:58:50 +0000 UTC]

You can apply it to any other box, but it over writes the code that's already in there, for instance if you put it in a 'featured deviation' box, then it would cover over the featured deviation, and just be a rather blank box, hope this helps

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mylastel In reply to Indae [2011-04-20 13:14:59 +0000 UTC]

Oh hey! I tried it too, but you're right! It just (the background I chose) covered the whole box, not seeing the artworks behind. That's not a background anymore. Haha!
But why was that? If it can apply in the Feature and favorite box, why it can't be just a background? Where did I go wrong?
