  I just changed my theme to the Vintage Camera one & I wanted to change the background image. I was able to do so but when I viewed my blog, no changes have been made, even though they have been saved already (though it seems to take longer than it used to).

  Is there something that I did wrong? Is changing background images only available if I purchase the custom design option?

  Thanks so much!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there. Changing background images is allowed for all sites. Right now, though, on your site all I see is the standard grey background.

  If it was going really slow in your browser, the change may have just timed out. You’ll want to make sure the background image you’re uploading isn’t too huge (generally no more than a few MB). You also may want to make sure you’re not having any issues with your browser:

  First, please make sure you are running the latest version of a modern browser listed at http://browsehappy.com/

  Then, please read the following article to make sure you aren’t experiencing any browser issues:

  Ok, I finally updated my Google Chrome & Firefox, cleared caches & cookies, plus the image I’ve uploaded is only 100kb… & yet the “Saving Changes” still takes forever. I dunno what I’m doing wrong. It can’t be my laptop since I just got this about a week ago…

  Please help me with this! Thanks!

  I had a similar problem just an hour ago. I turned my router off for ten seconds and then back on. The page loaded in seconds. Hope this helps.

  But here’s the thing — when I close the window & try to customize my background image again, the one I selected is showing on my screen, proving that the change has been made — but when I go to the actual blog, it doesn’t appear at all.

  I dunno whether it’s my browser or because I’m using Windows 8… I’m so confused now…
