Sparkle to username

I know there is threads on this but I'm apparently doing something wrong so here goes

I've read this https://help.forumotion.com/t96136-group-s-style-on-legend-glitter-icon-glow

the link when i click on a user is /memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=55

so I have tried using

a[href="/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=55"] {
    background: url("https://i.servimg.com/u/f45/15/95/60/34/glitte10.gif");
}
&
a[href="/u55"] {
    background: url("https://i.servimg.com/u/f45/15/95/60/34/glitte10.gif");
}


and since which css isn't stated and I dont have this option AP > Display > Colors > CSS


I have tried adding this to the following css (colours.css, common.css, links.css & stylesheet.css)
and nothing glittered but I'm not sure if I'm to add it to a particular line or not
in colours.css I found 



/* Coloured usernames */

.username-coloured {

font-weight: bold;

display: inline !important;

padding: 0 !important;



}



so thought it may go there but I tried adding that to it and it doesn't do anything but I only want specific users to glitter so adding  background-image:url('https://i.servimg.com/u/f45/15/95/60/34/glitte10.gif'); 

isn't an option

Hi,

Try this code:

Code:

a[href="/u55"] {
    background: url("http://i45.servimg.com/u/f45/15/95/60/34/glitte10.gif");
}

By itself. Try clearing your browsers cache.


Also, please keep this button on, that way it avoids the misfunction that happen aboved.

thanks I've tried that and I have 17 css files and have tried adding the two different versions of the code to 7 of those css files and refreshed etc and nothing changes so either that code goes in a specific spot within one of the css files I've attempted in order to work or I've yet to find the correct css file to add it to.

Hi,

Can you please provide a test account that has access to the Administration Panel? Please make sure to PM it to me.

I can read that no clue what that has to do with me trying to add sparkle to a username on my forum...........you lost me there

Add the code to the top of your CSS stylesheet.

The reason why this codes won't work is because your forum isn't hosted by Forumotion. It's an actual forum based on phpBB community. We can't do anything further, try to see their tutorials in their support forum.
