Post text not showing up post new reply field

I am using the hitskin called 'Metallic' by badger11. I can find no info about them to ask directly.

Is anyone using this skin?

The background of the posts is a dark grey and the words show up in white, this is fine. But when you go to make a post the field you write your post in is also white and you can't see what you are typing. I have gone through the CSS code and can't seem to find what I should be looking for to change the color of the post field so the typing will show up. Can anyone help please?

Thank you so much

Hello,


I don't know this skin but for that you can add in the CSS ( PA > Display > Pictures and Colors | Colors > CSS style sheet ) :

Code:

#text_editor_textarea {
background-color: #000000;
}

( you can change #000000 for another color )

Cordially.

Thanks, I tried that but when you click on post reply as its loading up you see that color ( the one I picked) and then it covers over with white again. Very strange. Something must be overriding it in the codes somewhere and I can't figure it out.

This is it, can anyone take a look and tell me what it may be? I can't open my forum without figuring this out. Thanks!

Thanks!!!

Are you in WYSIWYG mode ?


In this case that could not work effectively

You can try to disable by clicking on the A/A button and see if like that that works ?

Cordially.
