Link to your forum? Do you have any other admins on your forum?

I just see one category on that forum.

To view all categories on my forum you have to be logged in...how do I give you my login privately?

Well, Pm me a test account details.

All the category titles have the same color, which is white.

So confusing to try & explain...in my admin panel the category legend for the main category is the same colour as the title of each forum so I'm sorry if you misunderstood me...on the left side of my forum are the forum titles which some have changed colour to blue for some weird reason...I call those category as well because that is what they are called in my admin panel of this skin I use!

I am still unable to understand because all colors are same. You can post a screenshot of what exactly you are talking about.

by Poppie January 7th 2011, 5:07 pm

Don't know how to do a screenshot...I know the categories are correct & they are all white...on the left side of the page when you log in you will see the forum topics which are meant to be black...some are blue...this goes all through the forum...when you open a topic certain topics under the main one have also changed...I have done nothing that could cause these fonts to change colour & why is it only some of them???

Find this in your CSS & delete it (::

Code:: a.forumlink:visited { color: #000; text-decoration: none }

by Poppie January 7th 2011, 6:02 pm

OMG...I did that & now it is worse!!

Edit: Everything that was black went to pale blue & the blue that originally changed stayed the same...I have put that code back as it was impossible to read with the pale blue???

by Guest January 7th 2011, 6:40 pm

Code:: a.forumlink:visited { color: blue; text-decoration: none }

by Poppie January 7th 2011, 7:02 pm

I can't find that code...these appear to be all I have regarding forumlink?

/* Forum title: Text and link to the forums used in: index.php */
.forumlink { color: #000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px }
a.forumlink:visited { color: #000; text-decoration: none }
a.forumlink:hover { color: #fff; text-decoration: underline }

by Guest January 7th 2011, 7:24 pm

Replace this:

Code:: a.forumlink:visited { color: #000; text-decoration: none }

With:

Code:: a.forumlink:visited { color: blue; text-decoration: none }

by Poppie January 7th 2011, 7:40 pm

So sorry...did that & what was black turned bright bright blue???

by Guest January 7th 2011, 7:46 pm

THEN CHANGE THE BLUE COLOR TO WHAT YOU WANT MAN. color: blue;

by Poppie January 7th 2011, 7:56 pm

I am not a man for one & I am not a forum technician...that is why I am asking for your help...I have given my forum link & logon & password to help me...the colours changed overnight...I don't know what you mean by changing the colour...in the colour of the font in question it is correct in the admin panel & does nothing to change what happened...they all should be black...I do not want blue!!!

by Guest January 7th 2011, 8:02 pm

Now u r making me crazy.
replace this:

Code:: a.forumlink { color: #000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px } a.forumlink:visited { color: #000; text-decoration: none } a.forumlink:hover { color: #fff; text-decoration: underline }

with this:

Code:: a.forumlink:link, a.forumlink:visited a.forumlink:active{ color: #000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px } a.forumlink:hover { color: #fff; text-decoration: none;}

by Poppie January 7th 2011, 8:26 pm

I did this & they changed to light blue...I went onto the colour chart & changed the forum visited colour to black & now it's fixed...Thank you & sorry for making you crazy!!!
