On my pc the background shows up just fine, but i was just informed that on the local university pc's in Windows IE 7 and in FF 3.0.1 the background shows up misaligned to the left of the content. tell me if you guys have problems and what OS+browser you are using. http://tinyurl.com/gamersofthetube
so it shows up with a margin of black on each side of the white content area? and then radiates outwards?
yup, here is a tip for you - go to browsershots.org You can test your site in ll browsers. Enjoy ! ;-)
