I need some help with figuring out how to get the chat box to show the shadow or even how to insert the shadow into the css. Everything i try isn't working.

Solved :wouhou:

Are you trying to get your chatbox to show up at all?

I'm not sure what you mean by show the shadow or even how to insert the shadow into the css... can you explain?

I have my chat box up but i want the shadow to stay on for everything they do.

What shadow are you talking about? Can you explain with screenshots please?

text-shadow:8px -5px 6px #1083cf;

Also I think this might be a little more clear.
When they log on their user name will show the shadow on it. When they post a message when it shows their name it has the shadow on it. and at the bottom of the screen when it says visited in the past 24 hours it shows the shadow on their name.

So each user's username has a shadow effect on it via CSS, and you want that shadow to show up in the chatbox, too?

Alright. The way the CSS codes work is that it's only one what you've applied it to. Applying it to a[href="/g8-judge"] will only make certain links to that group glow. If you want the USERS in that group, you need to do it individually to their /u code; for example, "Xeamnz" is /u30, so you'd have it inserted in your CSS like this:

Code:: a[href="/u30"] { text-shadow:1px 0px 6px #1083cf;}

You could probably use the glitter code as well, but I'm not 100% on that. Also, I changed the shadow to 1/0/6 instead of 8/-5/6 like you had it, but you're free to change it back.

No idea how i'm going to change something that i don't even know about. But thanks XD. question though how did you get the number?

Visiting their profile. The /u code is what registered user they are, regardless of deletions.

For example, on the support forum,
https://help.forumotion.com/u86899
Is you. That means /u86899 is you.
