Problem with Inserting Stream in VSD

I was going to ask about this in the S-Drive forum, but I don't get a message/reply box or 'start a new thread' button on any of the topics within the S-Drive forum. Tried different computers, browsers, re-starting computer, so I'll post here and let an admin decide where this should go :D

Anyway, when I insert my Stream on a VSD page (using the Add Stream icon - VSD7-18) and go to preview, the Stream is there, but my page background has disappeared. Only on that page, and when I delete the Stream, the background shows again. It worked fine in the earlier VSD7 builds up through 14.

Here's a link:

The background should be black - click home to see it, then the star next to my phone# to get back to the test page.

It looks like its messing up the CSS. I checked my page that has stream added to it and all is fine even after a re sync.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

The CSS is messed up as of about 15 min. ago. I went to see what embeddable themes looked like since I didn't remember that option from when I first made the Stream. Although I didn't choose to change my Stream, somehow, going from the Themes options to the Customize tab, I turned the Stream into a full-page design (didn't even click on anything!). So I've been trying to get it back to the way it was, but no matter what I try, It won't let me have the post text in Arial anymore :(.
But the background problem was there long before I started messing with the Stream's appearance.

Before the bkrnd issue came up, I was hoping to find a way to have just one or two posts show with a scroll bar (my never-ending theme - stuff that scrolls :lol:). Do the embeddable themes allow that? Does it need to go into an iframe?

Eric -
Tried using the embed code option rather than the insert tool in VSD, and it worked! The background is there. Scott let me back into the S-Drive forum :lol: so I'll take my other Stream questions over there.

Just curious... is your Stream in a VSD site? Did you insert it or embed it?

For the one in the Iframe I used the stream tool in VSD, But I have used the source code to do the same thing.

How do you do the links? Do they have to be done in html?
