The "post screen" is where you type your post messages before submitting them into the specific forum.
This is classed as .textinput in your Style Sheet.
To see a sample of what a post screen with a background image looks like, please click here.

The first thing you must do before applying the background image onto the post screen is create it using a graphical program such as Adobe Photoshop. Various tutorials on how to use the software can be found here.

Once you have a background image, you'll need to upload it somewhere, and then it's time to apply it onto your post screen.

Admin CP ›› Skinning & Styles ›› Manage Style Sheets

Find:
Code:
 
.forminput, .textinput, .radiobutton, .checkbox  { font-size: 11px; font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: middle }


Add the following just below that line:
Code:
 
.textinput {background-image: url(Place The URL Of The Image Here)}

Now simply replace the text "Place The URL Of The Image Here" with the URL of the image you wish to apply to the post screen.

Once you've completed that, click on the Edit CSS button to save your changes.
You can also add background properties like background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; in that new line to specify how and where you want the image to appear in the box.

Further information on CSS can be found here.
