aominecchi Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I am trying to upload some photos to put on a theme I am working on but the size is considerably smaller once uploaded and thus the photo keeps repeating. Are there any standard sizes for photos that I could use? Or am I doing something wrong :/ I want to achieve the effect of being seen as 'seemless'.

aominecchi Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yes I mean the background! Must it be 930 exactly? Because the images I am trying to upload are larger than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KohakuShadow Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yes, the width is 930. The length of the image will vary though. I think it does have to be exactly 930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aominecchi Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 I resized and reupload the image to 930 width but the background keeps repeating as if the image is way smaller Actually, I saw no change in comparison to the pre-resized image (which was around 2k+ width). What am I doing wrong?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KohakuShadow Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hmmm. What are you using to upload the image? And you're just using one image for the background right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aominecchi Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Yes, I am trying to use one image. To upload the images, I go to an album and click on the "upload photos" button. I am not sure if that's what you are asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suida Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. You need to upload the pic on imgur then copy paste the url link and it will work. (; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KohakuShadow Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Sorry. I meant, are you uploading the images to photobucket, or imgur? And then you put the url into the customize profile where it says page background. Like shown here: Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. Like Suida said, imgur is the best option.

You need to upload the pic on imgur then copy paste the url link and it will work. (; I uploaded to imgur as instructed... However, when I save, exit and then reload the page, the image disappears and the background reverts to the previous color I had. Sorry. I meant, are you uploading the images to photobucket, or imgur? And then you put the url into the customize profile where it says page background. Like shown here: Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. Like Suida said, imgur is the best option. That's exactly where I put the url and the above^^ happens.

aominecchi Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Okay so... This is how the settings look before I change them. I placed the URL at "Page Background". The width is 930. I saved my settings. Here the image looks as it should. After saving, I hit "Exit" and then reloaded my page. The background is gone and it reverted back to transparent as it can be seen on the first photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KohakuShadow Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hmmm....that is really strange.....I know it might sound dumb but if you remove that s in the https: does it do the same thing? I only ask cause everything you're showing is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
