Where'd my background go?

[nvisiblephoto]

I noticed recently that my background image on my homepage has dissapeared and the color has changed from pure black to dark grey. I haden't changed any of my settings so it was surprising to me. I looked at my customization panel and nothing has changed. I can't seem to change the background colors or add a background image to my homepage no matter what I do. Help?

Hi, read this thread:

and try switching your default theme to gradient grey, for example.

Let us know?


Also, you are using the old slideshow, 1year old version,
/*=========================*/
/*== SLIDE SHOW ==*/
/*== version 0.58 ==*/
/*== Updated 15 Mar 2007 ==*/
/*=========================*/
and this was dropped by the developer from support back in Oct 07.

Update to the new Shizam Slideshow, it's very easy :)

Ok, worked on this issue all day and it's really bugging me now.
Changing the default theme does nothing to my homepage, only the galleries. I've tried a bunch of different ones. The homepage stays the same no matter what.

So I thought it might have to do with the old slideshow I have and I switched to the new slideshow you mentioned. Now I have no slideshow AND my homepage BG still doesn't show. I thought that I might have set up the slideshow incorrectly but I went to see if OTHER people's slideshows worked.. nothing. Moonriverphotography.com just shows a menu and that's it. No slideshow. None of the sample websites show up for me. BUT only in Firefox (they work in IE) However, I don't want a certain % of my visitors to see a blank screen so I put the old slideshow back up.

Now I'm back where I started.

Still haven't figured this out...

You had your homepage set to SmugMug Gradient- using the themes button I switched to Default and you're all set now :thumb
