    I want to make a RP and I saw here some thread that had a customed background, and I would like to know how to do this. Someone can help?
     
    That is using something called BBCode CSS, which is the CSS web language turned into a form that can be used on a forum in BBCode tags.

    This thread can help you learn more about it: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/200899

    Examples from the BBCode list page:

    [span="font-size: 11px;"]This is text in 11px defined by CSS.[/span]
    Gives:
    This is text in 11px defined by CSS.

    [div="padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px; border: dashed 1px #60B530; font-variant: small-caps; color: #60B530; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]This division box has CSS styling it.[/div]
    Gives:
    This division box has CSS styling it.
     
    Thnax, I now checking this thing. Also you welcome everytime to see my RP[when he comes out - still thinking]

    I looked at the thread and checked the guides, and its very very complicated. There is no other way to do this, easier or more understable?

    You must know basics of the CSS and that thread provides helpful information to you, so be patient and read it. And no, there isn't easier way to do that.

    And if you think it's too hard, then just ask someone to do that for you.
     
    Can you tell me what I need to know cuz I entered one of the tutrials and it was HUGE, and one little question, how I can make the CSS to the thread and I dont find it in the option[might miss it or dont know what it is ]. And dont get it wrong, I`m not lazy, I can read a lot, but I need to know what so I would not think I`m wasting my time.
     
    If you want to learn CSS, you really can't half-ass it. CSS is a bunch of properties that you add together to make a web page a web page (from a design standpoint, of course. HTML is what makes a web page a web page). You can learn a lot through manipulation and getting inspecting codes, but unless you're willing to read a tutorial about the basics and how to really get started with it, then you're not going to go anywhere. The basics are the properties. Here's a reference guide.

    If you don't want to learn CSS, there are plenty of people who will be willing to help. Maybe even build your CSS for you.

    As I said before I`m NOT lazy, just I dont like to to something for nothing. And I think I`ll just ask someone to make my CSS, does PC have such a place?

    You'll have to learn the overall 'how to write it in general' on your own (it's not difficult, just use the structure don showed you and add in your own tags), but if you're looking for some ones used commonly on PC:

    Backgrounds - This will give you how to make a background color, image, etc.
    Borders - This will obviously style the borders of your boxes. Also check out this link for rounded corners, pretty popular on PC.
    Text - This is color mostly, that's what you would use it for if you're making an entire thread in it. There are other properties but they're not used much except for decorative things such as signatures.
    Font - This will cover the size and font face you're using.

    For each of those, for ease of use, scroll to the bottom of the page. All you need are the properties down there. If you use that in conjunction with don's format, you should be able to make a nice CSSed thread. Good luck!

    Didn't say you were, just said that you can't half-ass it, which is true. If you get something wrong, you could end up messing up a page. For users who aren't very experienced in debugging (and those who are experienced in it), they would report the problem and you could get infracted for using malicious code, even if it wasn't your intention.

    There's no place to request something like that, unless you go personally asking people who you know who do CSS. The thread donavannj linked you to earlier is a good source to use, since they share codes all the time, and you can manipulate it after you get the hang of it, with the help of the links that Toujours and I provided.
     
    Thnax all of you. I will try to understand this. One day I will!!
