I was trying to change the background on yoshiadditfan.wikia.com , but no matter how many times I try to change it, it stays on the old background. Could someone help me?Random yoshi 777 02:07, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

I believe the reason your background won't change in the theme editor is because you have CSS that is overriding it. Try going here: http://yoshiadditfan.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikia.css and removing this code from that page, then you should be able to edit the background with Theme Designer.
