Well leave the positioning in the CSS, but remove the background image from there.

I still can't tell what alignment issue you're having LOL

Anyway the reason this is a problem is because the welcome screen uses the #ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_PageContainer and you added a background image to it...

Here is a simple fix then... edit your welcome screen box content and add the text in red to the CSS near the bottom (make sure it's the CSS with the "display:inline"):

#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_PageContainer { display:inline; background: #000 url(); }

Hello!

I've been messing with this for hours and it's just not showing up.  I'm such a newb at this.  This is the code I entered, any suggestions? Did I miss something obvious?

<style type="text/css">
body { display:none; }
</style>

<div id="splashBox">
<div align=center>
<div style="height:200px;"></div>
Welcome $block[username] to<br>
<img src="http://www.axiomfiles.com/Images/Dynamic/313421.png">
<div style="height:100px;"></div>
<a href="http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=313421&TabID=2627618">

</a>
</div>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; url= http://www.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=313421&TabID=2627618">

<style type="text/css">
.StateBar, .BannerArea, .TabBar, .PageFooter, div.ContentBoxBody, .ContentBoxTitle, input  { display:none; }
body { background: #333333 url(http://www.axiomfiles.com/images/ThemeGfx/backgroundblackstone.jpg); color:#ffffff; display:inline; }
img, img a { border:0px; }
</style>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var a = document.getElementById('splashBox').innerHTML;
document.getElementById('ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_PageContainer').innerHTML = a;
});
</script>

Thanks,

I'm not sure how active this is anymore but here I go.

Everything worked out great when I tried this. The only problem is if I try to edit the background so that its all white the whole thing just freezes on the same page. This is what I have so far _> HERE 

My question is, how do I make everything white?

Thanks in advance.

The reason is that the only way I could get it to all match and be one solid color I had to modify the overall theme of the site. By making it white the welcome screen would be white. So that has all been fixed and I'll leave it like that. Now the only problem is on certain computers nothing shows up at all, but its very rare so I think it's just there computers. Sorry I didn't update sooner, I just tinkered on my own with older things I learned. But if I change the main theme to a diffrent color there will be another colored box on the welcome screen surronding the main graphics. It's ugly. lol So white will be it's new face.

Thank you so much for your time!
