How do I Edit the Forum's Descritpion

[RAtSoaDM]

I need to change where it reads "Chat forums" to another color and or Font if possible.



Thanks

For this you can use simple HTML.

Here is the code you need to use:

Code:

<p><font face="FONT TYPE GOES HERE" color="COLOUR GOES HERE, FOR EXAMPLE #FF0000">TEXT GOES HERE</font></p>

For the font to work you must have the font on your computer.

Thanks,
Jamie.

Hmm ok, I'll try it out..i guess it also has to be a font everyone in inernetland has too, so i'll just use tahoma or verdana thanks!

[J A M I E]

Yes, it is best to stick with the fonts already on your computer. If you want to use a font you've installed then you will need to make sure that all of your members also have the font installed.

Please tell me if it works, it would be good to know.

Thanks,
Jamie.

[RAtSoaDM]

It did work thanks again Jamie!

[RAtSoaDM]

ahh it only worked on my test forum :-\ well it changed the font to Tahoma but not the color

gotta be a way of doing it from the CSS?

[J A M I E]

Hmmm, maybe try a different colour code?

Well I'm glad I could partly help.

I tried a few diff codes still no luck... wonder if there's a way of doing it from the CSS.

[J A M I E]

Did you also try putting, for example, "red" or "green"?

There is probably a way to do it with CSS but I wouldn't know what to do with that, however, a moderator might.

[RAtSoaDM]

yeh I tried with red but i didnt put a parentheis like that

[RAtSoaDM]

didnt work with a parenthesus either

[J A M I E]

Sorry, I'm not sure what to then. That's all I can think of with HTML. However, if you contact a moderator they may be able to help.

Hello,

Can you inform us what isn't working?
Is the colour not working, or is the font face not changing?

[RAtSoaDM]

the color and font change on my test forum

but on my real forum it only changes the font

could have something to do with my forum being phpp2

[Darren1]

ok?

Are both the test and real forums phpbb2?

the code should work try this way

Code:

[font=Times New Roman][color=green]This is my forum name[/color][/font]

This should work, if it doesn't, you'll need to convert the tags so you can use this one.

Code:

<font=Times New Roman><color=green>This is my forum name</color></font>

[RAtSoaDM]

Well just checked, guess they are both phpbb2s.

Hmm, that only changed the font too... I used the 1st one and it automatically changes it back to that 2nd code you got there...

tthe one thing thats different between the test forum and the official is my custom CSS, i mean i just edited it around a bit, added some extra codes...would that be the problem? that s weird how it wont change the color

[ankillien]

Hello,

Can I have your forum link please?

You want to change the color of your forum description, right?

[RAtSoaDM]

Yup,
http://bootlegmatrix.netgoo.org/forum.htm
i think it contrast to much with the other text,

[Jalochee]

uH, is that president Obama or Bush! It seem like I saw both of them. Anyone see the same thing or something wrong with my eyes?

[RAtSoaDM]

lmao that's Obushma Good observation xD

[ankillien]

Thanks

To fix this, please remove the font tags that you have added in forum description. Now, go to Admin CP > Display > Colors > CSS
Add this code there and submit..

Code:

.row1 .genmed {
color: green;
}

Hope that helps

[RAtSoaDM]

Aww, nothing happened!

think maybe i should add it to the Separate templates CSS?

[ankillien]

Have you added the code to your CSS and submitted it?

Code:

.row1 .genmed {
color: green !important;
}

Also refresh the index page to see the changes. It should work.

[RAtSoaDM]

Add important? lol I did submit it to the CSS :|

also refreshed a few times...maybe i should clear cookies?

Worth giving it a shot

[RAtSoaDM]

:-O That worked!

[RAtSoaDM]

There anywya of adding other ...elements to the fonts? say like an underline

ahh nevermind figured that out on my own

[ankillien]

For underlines you can use <u>...</u> tags. For blinking text you can use <blink>...</blink> tags.

<font> tags only provides color, font-face and size of text to be formatted.
