It is? O_o; Then why can't I see it? *kicks comp* Work you! gonk

Well, because you just took that part of the code out, perhaps. >.> It doesn't show anymore.

I put it back now but it's still not showing for me. sweatdrop Would clearing the cache work?

Possibly, it can't hurt. xp

Hm. Actually, they aren't showing up for me in IE. confused How odd...

Valentine: What's the problem...?

It will not let me set a background for my journal or comments box.

You're just missing the } at the end of the #friends h2 line. 3nodding If you add that, it'll work.

***EDIT: You're missing the one after the #journal h2 line as well.

Oh, are you using firefox?

Well, on to the next few questions. >.> When you do the headings for everything (details, about etc) how do you get an image there? My friend has a notical theme and for her headings she has a little ship in the corner of each with fancy writing. Would I have to make my own image then instead of using the colour codes, replace that with the URL?

I was checking out some themes for the profiles and there was this one that had the bar that read 'profile, forum,' etc changed to a different image. Is it possible for me to do this too?

Last one, (I promise ^^; ) for the custom cursor how do you make it into a cursor? I saw one person using a magic wand (the one from gaia) as their cursor (I heard that it has to be in 2 certain formats but I can't save it to those). I'm using a cursor from that smiley thing right now on my computer so is there any way I can use that in my profile? The only problem is, when I click on the one I want it doesn't say where the file is located.

Yep, I use Firefox. xp

1) You do with the same code as doing the headers individually, just inside of .section h2 { } instead of #profile h2 { }

2) No, it's against the rules, and if whoever did that gets caught, they're going to have their profile override disabled most likely. ^^;

3) Yeah, it has to be either .cur or .ani I believe, and it has to be uploaded online. As for how to find them on your computer, if you go to the search thing in your start menu, you can search for files of type .cur or .ani and it should show you where they are. :3

Also, if you go to that "Gaia Themes" link on the front page of this thread, I think there are some cursors available for usage there.
