I'm not sure what to do for the background, maybe an image using the opacity effect like this?

Or a more simple pattern with a solid container like this?

I will probably use an image like in the banner that will replace that horrible logo then.

So no image like the above, but how do I improve the current black background?

What browser are you using? That doesn't happen in firefox.

Ok guys been a long time.

I've been experimenting with colour gradients and like the effects but on the pages where the content doesn't fill the screen the gradient effect seems to reset or something, can anyone explain why this is? Does the page body not fit the entire screen, does it just stop where the last bit of content is instead?

Note: gradient may only work in firefox atm.

This is what my body is set to currently but it doesn't work, at least not in ff8.

Code:

body {

	background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #111111 0%, #272727 13%, #000000 38%, #282828 58%, #505050 75%, #444444 100%);
	font-family:georgia;
	color:#f5dd9d;
	text-align:center;
	font-size:14px;
	height: 100%;
	min-height: 100%;
}

Oh I see, thanks. When I do that though I now get the gradient repeating on the longer pages?

EDIT-Fixed that by changing the gradient so the first and last colours are the same.

I also really want to force the footer to the bottom of the page, is there any easy way to do that? I've now moved it outside of the container div and think it looks better that way.

Ok I've removed the background colour on the container so that it more closely matches the original colour scheme, but is not nearly as garish as the original gold on black design.
