Is it possible to make the Mboard transparent? (so if I have on my site in an IFRAME the background of the site is visible?)

Not sure what you mean, but you can add your own background to MBoard, for example by editing the CSS file.

Hello callmecheez,

I just tested it and it can be done.
There is a catch however!
It only worked in Firefox and Netscape and not in Internet Explorer or Opera :D
All you have to do is not define a background-color or background-image in the style.css file of MBoard.

Greetings,
Henrie

Hello callmecheez,

Especially for you i tried google to find your answer. I googled for "transparent iframe" and the first presented link was the answer. Here it is:
How to make transparent Iframes

**This only works with Internet Explorer 5.5+ and Netscape 6+ browsers**

First code your page that will be the Iframe being sourced, (src="<filename.html>), put the style code below in between the head tags like so:

<style type="text/css">
body {background-color: transparent}
</style>

Then on the page where you call the iframe add the below code:

<iframe name="something" src="filename.html" allowtransparency="true" background-color="transparent" >
</iframe>
