I Just Spent 2500 Points on a Background Image. Where is it?

I just spent half my ATS points on a background image, but it won't come up. Can someone fix this/tell me how to fix it/refund my points?

What address have you put in?

If you look at the address space you will see:

abovetopsecret.com/forum/uploads/

As part of the address that is fixed which gives the impression that background images can only be use when loaded into your personal ATS upload space. Seeing as the member upload center is temporarily offline you cannot have uploaded to there thus giving an incorrect upload address.

I have an image I am waiting to use for this, but as the center is offline I presumed somthing like this might happen, so I haven't yet.

I am not sure that this is the case, but it is why I am waiting at present.

Hey im thinking about spendign those 2.5k points on background image, the iage i want is pretty damn long, will it all be shown up or just enough for the post and no more ?

Your background is showing up as

'http://atsmedia.cachefly.net/uploads/http:img224.exs.cximg22427'

which means you didn't enter it correctly. Hopefully a mod can fix it for you or refund your points.

You need to upload it to the ATS member upload space, you can't use an external webserver for a background image (at least last time I did it).

Take Care, Vix

(P.S thanks for fast reply)

i just tryed to put a back ground image on, you know the one, costs 2.5k points ? well ig ot it. Good times it has NOT came up, bad times
i typed in.

atsmedia.cachefly.net...

thats what i wanted as the back ground image, have i done this wrong ? is there a way of fixing it that wont cost me a further 2,500 points ?

Take Care, Vix

When entering the image URL use only this part:

ats47454_037.jpg

Hope this helps.

Check your U2Us.

The problem looks like you put in the entire URL when you're only supposed to put in the file name

Looks like you got it Vix.

You should add a blank transparent GIF as your avatar to space it out more, like this one:

users.rcn.com...

He might not understand.

Hey Vix, if you put that little gif in as your avatar, it moves all that writing down to Jessica's, uh, knees or feet.

Try it.

HTH.

I've recently tried to get a background image as well, but it's not showing up. I typed in the filename exactly, and nothing. Is it because I purchased a background color?
