Resolved: How do I add an image background to my post flair?

[Explorer of Time]

I have a new background image I want to use, but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to upload it to get it to work. Is there a guide to post flair anywhere here?

Standard image-hosting websites such as imgur should be fine.

You can also save the image to a PC album and use it from there like I did with my flair.
Here's what it looks like in the flair screen for me if you want to copy-paste it to experiment:

background: url('https://www.pokecommunity.com/media/(your unique image id here)/full');
background-size: 1458px 155px;
background-color: #e8f4fe;
color: #4b196d;
text-shadow: 0px 1px #a5a5a5;
font-family: "Finger Paint";
font-size: 18px;

You can mess around with the numbers and such to get it to your liking, I just thought a 'base' might be helpful.

Thanks, it's working now.

Hey, I am attempting to use this base as well (I don't know CSS) and it's not going through.

What does this mean? What is the problem?

I'm sorry, I don't really know CSS either. I got help to the point where I could answer the previous poster about images, but this issue is beyond my knowledge. I'll ask someone on the staff team to look into this that actually knows CSS.

No worries, I appreciate it.

UPDATE:
I figured it out with some help from the Discord. Apparently this ^ is the most I am allowed without a stupid donation perk.
Thanx again.

I figure I'll mention that using images for post flair backgrounds has always been a supporter/donator/staff perk. As of our move to XF though, supporter/donator status is conferred (currently only upon request, but intended to be automatically bestowed sometime in the future) upon reaching 500 posts. Any plans to change that to a non-supporter and/or non-postcount status are not something I am aware of/remember at the moment.
