How do I fix the color of the background on my site, it should be a light grey color but instead I have a dark grey.

example: http://www.thesportsvoice.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=280

what it should be: http://www.areamike.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=3

In your forums/css file find this code

Code:

/* Location,number of posts,post date etc */


.postdetails{font-size:10px;color:#353535}

and change it to

Code:

/* Location,number of posts,post date etc */


.postdetails{font-size:10px;color:#ffffff}

or some other light color "ffffff" is white.

You will have to do this if other areas of your forum are the wrong color code as well.

Did you ever get this resolved? I was not aware that this didn't get fully answered. Just catching up over the weekend.

Just a quick look but colour that may be incorrect is #757575

Ok the light grey is the ececec

Now that It's changed, is there a seprate line to indicate the lines around the post and catagories?

cause that code should be 757575

Ok here is the summary of problems, the back ground colors do not alernate from post-post

The lines around the post should be a dark grey but instead they are all the same color as the background, if I edit this line

Code:

forumline   { background-color: #757575; border: 0px }

it will change the background color but also the lines and the colors do not alternate between post.

Is there another file that is overrding this or what?[/code]

Also under who's online the color for the Administrator is white, how do I change that to a different color?
