I decided I wanted to add a patterned background to my profile. I uploaded my background images to an album and I have tried entering both URLs yet...no background.Could someone advise me please?

Nope, I was wrong again! I can get color but I can't use my own background as it says "Problem with Main" and highlights where I've entered my background.

It doesn't sound like it's been properly uploaded to your album.
I'll post the procedure for everyone here:
Go to My Settings/ Pictures and Albums / then make certain that the radio button for Profile - Pictures used to modify your profile style
is clicked. It has to be uploaded to this album. If it's hosted on Imageshack, Photobucket or in one of your other albums it won't work and you'll have your image link highlighted in red.
Copy the link.
Then return to Customize Profile and then drop it into the url area for images and make certain to select how you want it displayed: horizontal, vertical, both... and that should do it if you followed that properly. I'm unsure atm of the specifics regarding restrictions, however... I'd keep 'em small, though.
Mine looks like this:

It didn't work? What was it doing? I'm sorry! Did you right click save as and save it to your computer? If you do that and follow G-man's instructions it should work.
