Changing background color

I am trying to either get rid of the white background in the center "text" column, or make it transparent, so you can see the page background. Please help!

    If you just want it to affect the wiki pages and front page, use:

    bc. .post-section, .campaign-landing-page-container
    {
    background-color:transparent !important;
    }

    If you want it site-wide, use:

    bc. .post-section, .campaign-landing-page-container, .adventure-log-post, .post-date, .post-header-container, .character-list-item, .character-quick-search, #character-details, .map-placard
    {
    background-color:transparent !important;
    }
    .overflow-fade-out
    {
    display:none;
    }

    That took out every white/light grey background I found, but if I missed one, let me know.

    Ok, a little too good. Is there a way to get rid of the background only on the Main Page, but not any other wiki page?

    @.campaign-landing-page-container { background-color:transparent !important;
    }@

    That should do it. The class for the landing page is .campaign-landing-page-container.

    Is there a way to do this for all the pages except for the forums? The forum text is in a grey for some reason that doesn't show up on a background. Or, preferably, do you know of a way to make the forum text black?

    Whoops, sorry yanko, I apparently got a little too excited hunting for class names there :P

    Donegal, you can definitely make the forum text black. If you just want the post text, it's

    bc. .post-body
    {
    color:black;
    }

    If you want the entire post in the right-hand column including title and post date, it's

    bc. .post-body, .post-time, .campaign-forum-topic-name, .timeago-weekonly-reformat, .created-label
    {
    color:black !important;
    }

    And if you want to affect both the right and left hand columns, it's

    bc. .post-body, .post-time, .campaign-forum-topic-name, .timeago-weekonly-reformat, .created-label, .topic-link, .post-count
    {
    color:black !important;
    }

    Thanks Savannah! Sorry to keep bothering but I have no background in this and trial and error is only getting me so far, but...

    I think I understand how to put a color border around my background image, but how or can I put a border image? I'd like a leather texture about 50 px around my parchment background on pretty much all my pages. Here is a link to the campaign:

    No worries, everyone was new once and I like helping out :)

    That being said, I have no clue on the border images, sorry. I'm sure someone else will know, though!

    I have not worked with border images before, but they're apparently considerably more complex from what I can see: "Understanding Border Images":http://css-tricks.com/understanding-border-image/

    Wow, that is complicated.

    Thank you. On a related note, is there a way to change background color only on one specific wiki page?

    Yanko, I don't think that individual wiki pages have their own specific classes, so technically, no. You can't target one specifically. However, you might be able to to create an absolutely positioned DIV that has your background the size of the whole page and set the z-index so it sits behind everything else. I haven't experimented such a code, though, so I don't have anything concrete to give you.
