remove the planks at either side - any help would be appreciated.

Look in your /skins/evocamp/style.css file for the following code:

#outer_wrap {
font-size: 10pt;
font-family: georgia,times,'times new roman', serif;
background: #713600 url(img/planks.gif);
color: #303324;
text-align: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height: 140%;

Change the 'url(img/planks.gif)' part to whatever image you want. Just make sure you upload your new image to the /skins/evocamp/img directory. Or get rid of the 'url(img/planks.gif)' to eliminate the planks. ;)

EDIT: Just know that the planks are integrated with the background of the #wrap container as well. Unless you change that background too, you'll never truly be rid of them. Make a copy of the evocamp skin before you go futzing with it too much.

Thanks BLC - that worked a treat and acceptable as it is but as you say the planks are integrated in the background so there is a small line running down either side showing the remnants of the planks.

I tried editing the style - line 27 from 960 to 955 but this only gets rid of the line on one side - I tried a few other combinations but still no good.

Any idea how to get rid of this completely?

Edit the image?
