The best way to do that would be with CSS unless IPS has a feature to easily add background images like it does for the site logo. If you'd like send me a link to the site and the image you want to use and I should be able to give you the CSS you need to use and in what template. A PM will do :).

Alright I will PM you. Not sure why this isn't a feature on IP Board. Seems like such a basic necessity...

custom.css

body.ipsApp_front { 
  background: url(https://img.fotoaly.com/woman-singing-into-microphone2.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; 
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
}

.ipsApp_front header {
	background:none !important;
}

 

Where would that be posted?

}

That would work fine.

Do it in custom.css

This did the job, thanks everyone.
