I'm not even sure what you are wanting here surf.
I dont use msn so I guess I wouldnt know -- :-\
Do you mean in MSN Messenger 6.1?
Tools>Change Display Picture>Browse>OK
or
Tools>Create Backgrounds>Browse>OK
You need to keep the file in your computer and choose one when you browse.
Hope that helps. :)
Thanks for your help but i mean msn groups (like in HTML code) not msn messager sorry

To add a background to a custom page , first put your background into the photo album. Then open background to full size. Right click on it, choose properties, highlight the URL - (you must scroll to get it all or triple-click on it), and copy (Control+c).
.. then in the table box... where ya choose the background could.. is where ya put the propper URL.. if ya need any more help.. just ask ....
here is a list of HTML that ya can use for MSN groups...
- Anchor: <a>
- Map: <map>
- Area: <area>
- List Item: <li>
- Base Font: <basefont>
- Ordered List: <ol>
- Paragraph: <p>
- Break: <br>
- Table: <table>
- Break: <br>
- Caption: <caption>
- Column: <col>
- Table Data: <td>
- Column Group: <colgroup>
- Division: <div>
- Table Header: <th>
- Definition List: <dl>
- Font: <font>
- Table Header Rows: <thead>
- Headings 1-6: <h1> - <h6>
- Table Body (groups, rows): <tbody>
- Horizontal Rule: <hr>
- Table Footer: <tfoot>
- Image: <img>
- Table Row: <tr>
- Unordered List: <UL>

Thank very much for the info does it matter if it is a jpg/gif or does it have too be a gif file
From what i remember jpg is fine... just remember... smaller the file size ,.... it better cause of the limit on the passport size unless ya got one of the original 30MB passports

Sorry still no luck i did all that before and all it did was make a table with a background i want to put a background on and put the plain text on with some pics and gif's ect like a normal web page
but normal HHTMl does not seem to work only basic HTML works i have no idea why just thought
i would ask becase i only can use one color at the moment and i wanted to change it to a nice graphic
but last time i did it i got a very small pic on the screen and if any one does finds out please let me no thank very much for writeing all that i will keep that in mind for other websits,
Exactly where on msn are you trying to do this? Is it a msn forum? When you say background pic do you mean like a stationary or a signature tag? ???
not sure, think they might mean the messenger
Well if that's what surfdown means. I just downloaded msn messenger. Usually use windows messenger. You can change display and backgrounds by going into the tools tab. ;)
i got the impression they might wanna put there own pic in it
You can do that by going into tools, change display picture and then browse to the directory where you have your image stored. You can also download images from their site by clicking on the smiley on the left hand side of the messenger. BTW, this is MSN messenger 6.2 I am trying. ;)
You can also change your background when you open the chat window. ;)

ty been looking for week's and it is start to get to me a simple thing as to a graphic as a background
and msn will not do it just puts it up as a url or it does it very small as small as my viper car pic lol
I didn't realize you could customize the msn forums with your own backgrounds. BTW MSN Messenger 6.2 is neat if you haven't checked it out. ;)
