A few additional notes if you care to know. Thanks! I'll try it out. No problem!
 * 1) Using ".background-dynamic" is what caused the issue. The reason is that the page body did not include that in the list of classes. Because your selector required all 3 classes to be possessed by an element, the body was not selected and the background was not applied.
 * 2) "background-attachment: fixed;" is redundant. That is the value already set by the default CSS.
 * 3) Using "!important" is generally not a good idea is it prevents both preceding and proceeding CSS. This means that personal CSS will be overridden by site CSS.
 * 4) If you want to apply the background just to oasis, you can put this CSS on MediaWiki:Wikia.css instead and ditch ".skin-oasis".
 * 5) In terms of the image URL, what I have should be enough. However, the extra parts (including the "?cb=#####") shouldn't hurt. The only time you need to use the extra parts is if a new version of the image has been uploaded but you want to still use the old version.
 * 6) When linking to another Wikia community, you can use interwiki links instead of the full URL. For an example, see my link in #4.
