    NOTE: This post contains code, as you can see. Please do not edit.

    Hey, remember that CSS trick where you get a background image to stay still while the content scrolls over it? I think it's possible to make it work here. This is the code I'm testing at my homesite (it seems to work in IE6 and Netscape 7.1, at least):

    <style>
    .community { background-image: url("background.gif") !important; background-attachment: fixed !important; background-repeat: repeat !important}
    </style>

    This tells the browser that your CSS instructions are more important than the default style sheet. So whenever you want to mark something in your style sheet as extra, ultra, super important, just add !important after each element in your code, as shown above. If there's anything contradictory in AW's style sheet, your instructions will override it.

    Note: To get the code to work, you may have to go to your style sheet editor (click "edit stylesheet" at the bottom of the page) and leave the bgcolor and Background Image fields blank.
