New Install, Basic Template isn't working

[beyre]

Hello, I just installed the Free script today and everything is working fine except for the default LBS template. The instructions were easy to follow and encountered no errors (well, except for ones due to my own fat fingers typing! LOL). The script is installed in a directory on my site and I wanted to alter the template so it looks like my site - seamless design. phoenixrisingweb(dot)com is my site phoenixrisingweb(dot)com/links-directory/index(dot)php is the directory Now, I just tried to make one change in the LBS template style.css file - change the background from white to black - and that change wouldn't happen. I doubled checked and yes, all files have uploaded. The .sql file did its thing just fine. Just not sure why the template looks messed up and why changes to the stylesheet won't show. Oh, and why won't paragraphs show here in my post?

Login to your admin section and on the setting/setup section please add "/" after "links-directory"

Misi, Thank you! I did try that yesterday, but I guess I wasn't holding my tongue quite right because it didn't do a thing. I got the default template to show. I'll try customizing in a little while and see how that does. Have a great Friday!

At the top of the style.css, find where it says:
body {
background-color: #ececec;
background-image: url(../../template/lbs/img/m_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
to remove the whole background, change it to this:
background-color: #ececec;
and delete the next two lines because you wont need them. You can also change the colour of the background to any colour you choose by changing the ececec to another combination.
If you want to display a different background image, first place that image in the template/lbs/img folder and then just change the name of the image in the code, like this:
background-color: #ececec;
background-image: url(../../template/lbs/img/newimagename.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
If you want the background to NOT repeat, remove the third line.
If you want the background to stay in one place change background-repeat to background-fixed and then delete repeat-x
