Ive created my own background page but cannot get it to show at all, maybe the size is not right but it just goes black, ive hosted the image at Image shack, any help would be great thanks.
Whats the ideal size, im using 1080 by 1920?
Edit:
keep this Thread as a how to file for other noobs like myself:)
I hope EA or Dice buy Better Battlelog from you, it really is a huge needed upgrade.
Thanks again!

Just show your image link here.
If you need to positioning your image you need to use the background: css statement (tutorial is linked unter the background edit field).

if you can german, i have written here a long description how to use it in BBLog.
For the first, its no bug. Moved.
You image is to small. You should always use HD images (1920 x any).
Than you should positioning it to the top left, thats it.
background:top left url(yoururl.com)

ok finally got it to work the problem i was having earlier was that i was uploading at image shack but they were not 1920 wide, i then uploaded them to photobucket where it was resizing it, so i uploaded the 1920 width to imageshack and it worked, only its slow, is there a faster preferred hosting site?

you can use center to center the image and you can use fixed to make it not scroll.
so background: url(img_url) top center fixed no-repeat

To stop the image from tiling add 'no-repeat' and to make the page scroll instead of the background add 'fixed'.
Example: background: url(IMAGE_URL_HERE) fixed no-repeat
You add that little piece of code (or whatnot) where you enter the URL to change the background.
Pretty much what juress said :)

I tried this and it removed the image and gave me the standard premium background
top center fixed no-repeat
im not winning here, but thanks anyway.
hopefully there will be a noob friendly method where you can just upload the image normally without any code.

It works perfectly...
background: url(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3944/battlelogbattlefield3ja.jpg) no-repeat top center
and add fixed if you want the image to scroll up and down with you...

That code is wrong, you forgot the url() and background:
Like this background:url(http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/3944/battlelogbattlefield3ja.jpg) top center fixed no-repeat
We don't built other methods to change background, a upload don't solve your problem.
