CSS stylesheet isn't having an effect on our forum

A friend of mine has made a forum using forumotion and since i have some basic code knowledge i opted to do some things for him. However whatever i write into the stylesheet get's ignored. I'm guessing im missing something from the code.

I have been trying to add text decoration to user's names, here is the code i tried:

a[href="u1"]{
text decoration: bold !important;
text-shadow: 0 0 0.3em #colour, 0 0 0.3em #colour, 0 0 0.3em #colour;
}

where it says colour i actually put in values for colours, but when i click submit and reload the forum the names are still the default colours with no decoration/shadow. 

If anybody knows why this is happening please let me know asap. 

Thanks so much in advance.

Is this member in a group that is colorized? If yes, then the CSS code will not work.

Code:

a[href="u1"] span{
text decoration: bold !important;
text-shadow: 0 0 0.3em #ff0000 0 0 0.3em #fc2250, 0 0 0.3em #f52134;
}

Try the code again

Hi,

It should go like this:

Code:

a[href="/u1"] {
   font-weight: bold !important;
}

If you don't know how to make a text-shadow visit http://www.css3maker.com/
Choose the option text-shadow and make your shadow. You will be provided with a code to do this style with.

You're missing an / before the user ID, and it's bold is not decoration but weight.

Code:

a[href="/u1"] span{
text-decoration: bold !important;
text-shadow: 0 0 0.3em #ff0000 0 0 0.3em #fc2250, 0 0 0.3em #f52134;
}

I'm sorry moved too fast and I wasn't careful
