there is no place to move it, because there is a sidebar on the left. Do you want to remove the sidebar?

existing background

insert this:

Code

body {background: url(http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k500/mugen_boy1/red-fractal-myspace-background.jpg ) !important;}

into CP->Design management (CSS)
we recommend you download this image to your website via File manager and use the link to it.

Is there a way to make it appear on the top instead of the side? I mean I want the "forum" button and the "Main" button to be present there.

I understood that I need to go to CSS but then where should I insert it?

we can't provide you help with it. It involves a lot of custom coding.

When in Style sheets (CSS) insert it at the beginning.

Okay here it is http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k500/mugen_boy1/ERROR.jpg
I want that part to blend with the side bar and all other parts. In other words, it should be transparent(not the background).

Mugen_Boy, i can only help with the first problem because if i mess in with your first problem you will get confused if 2 people help you with 1 question , so about the second question read this :

Quote (Animorph)

okay it has to do with your CSS , somethimes after you change your website Design in Common settings the css doesn't change now there is a way to solve this by just restoring the CSS
go to CP ---> Design ---> Design management(css) ---> Restore it

after you restored it your website will have the CSS from the design you use , and then you can start editing the CSS template

Mugen_Boy,both of your requests demand lots of custom coding. Unfortunately, we do not provide help with it. Maybe it will be easier for you to change the default template. E.g. there are some templates here http://ucoztemplates.com/ with a horizontal menu even (as you wanted)

Natashko, the link which you gave has good themes and I downloaded one too. But now I don't know how to use that theme in my site. These are the rules which I found in that site:

1. Upload folders “images” and “js” to the root directory of your FTP server.

2. Copy the code of the styles "stylesheet (CSS).txt" and save it with the help of menu item “Design management (CSS)”.

3. Copy the code of the skeleton and insert it in the menu item “Template builder”.

Attention!!! You need to set the value of the tag for the correct display of the skeleton. (Control panel->Common settings):

Code

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

In that, I am not able to understand the first point.
Please can you help in that?
