Register "Agree to these terms" link color

[runawayhorses]

Hello, when someone begins the registering process to your forum for the first time they need to click a "Agree to these terms" link button that has the words "Agree to these terms" written on it as a link, my problem is this, the color of the text link is hardly readable. I have my link colors on the forum just how I want them, but it looks as if the only color field that will adjust the "Agree to these terms" is also my forum links main link colors. And it also looks like the only color that will be visible is "black" on the buttons. My background color is black so that won't work. I think it can be done in the CSS file but I don't know which code in that file adjusts the "Agree to these terms" link when someone is registering.

Can some tell me how to adjust the link colors for the "Agree to these terms" link? Be it CSS file or whatever, I need to make it readable.

Thank you.

I think that was the .genmed class... try to copy / paste the code below into your custom CSS field in "Styles / Color / CSS Stylesheet". Replace the red part with the hex-code of the color you need:

a.genmed {color:#ff0000}

Just in case, this would be the mouseover color for that link:

a.genmed:hover {color:#ff0000}

The codes above are for phpBB version 3.

Thanks for your help, well, I tried it and it didn't work.I put the code in the "links" section in the CSS file at the top of that section. But I'm not really sure what version I have. Its a new forum that was created about a month ago. I did look for something to give a clue as to which version it is but couldn't find it. Perhaps you could take a look at it and tell which version it is, and maybe look at where you register at and you'll see the "Agree to these terms" links I'm referring to.

Hello people,

I'm having the same problem as this poster but also the link colour of the "Register" button itself. When you're at the sign in part of your forum and if you're not registered, there is a button to "register"...this link colour is too light as well.

I saw your post Sunny_D about how to fix the "agree to these terms" link colour but what about the "register" button? Also, I don't really know how to edit my CSS. I know how to get to that in the admin, but how to you edit the scripts?

Thank you very much.

runaway, sorry but I've mixed something up. The .genmed is for forum version 2. You are using version 3 - you can check that in "Styles / change version". Anyway, the correct code to change the buttons font color would be this:

a.button1:link, a.button2:link{color:#000}

Copy and paste this again into the CSS field in "Styles / Colors / CSS Stylesheet". If there is already text written, paste it at the very bottom of the textbox.

@Brad: Do the same if your forum is version 3 as well, it will change the register button's color there as well.

Thank you Sunny_D...when I go into my CSS stylesheet, and click to view my code, I get another window opening up with the codes, but I don't seem to be able to edit or paste anything in there.

Ok thanks so much that worked beautifully, but one last thing and I'm finished with that, is how do I make the "I do NOT agree to these terms" button link change colors. It changed the other one just like I wanted but still need the "Not agree" one fixed too.

And to what Brad was talking about the "register" button did not change with the new code, so it would appear that the code is not affecting that button and only the "Agree to these terms" button. But actually, I can live with that if need be.

But what I would like to know also, is which part of the CSS file addresses the drop boxes text link colors in the Memberslist, for example the " Sort by" "Order" boxes that you find in the Memberslist.

Thanks

The code I gave should have covered both buttons (button 1 and button 2), so I don't know really why it didn't work. Probably just replace it with the following and see if it works now:

a.button1:link, a.button2:link, a.button1:visited, a.button2:visited{color:#000}

This should also cover the other problem.

The selection boxes can be colored with this code (same procedure). This will also have effect on all other select-elements, for example the "jump-to" or the "quick mod tools" font color:

select{color:#ff0000}

@Brad: the page with the code that opened up, is the basic CSS of your forum - the one that defines the current appearance. Now, every code that you write into the CSS textbox, overwrites your basic code.

Thanks a lot Sunny you hit the nail on the head with your answers and everything worked perfectly. I commend you on your knowledge of CSS and these forums here. And you make a great moderator and helper of this forum. Thanks so much, I'm done with my questions for now as everything has been answered and things are working as they should now.. Until another time, see you later.
