trying to create a shadow around the forum but struggling to know where and what code to use for the left and right sides of the forum. i can figure out where the shadow will go for the top in the header template although im struggling to get the image to repeat as i have a image 16px x 30px.

any help would be appreciated

What I understand from your post is that you want to add a kind of shadow around the whole forum? Or just around some parts?

Would be helpfull if you could take a screenshot of a vb forum with your Print Scrn button, paste it into paint, outline the place(s) where you want this image to be, upload it and post the link here ;).

Sorry should of made it more clear.

Im looking to add a image down the left & right sides of the forum plus one along the top of the header.

just not sure which template to add the image code
