Hello, I believe the following question pertains to CSS Stylesheet coding. I am one of two designers on the forum Bleach - Beyond the Dark. The URL is http://bleachbeyondthedark.forumotions.net/ . I've recently been trying to make two edits to the chatbox but my knowledge of CSS stylesheet coding is rather limited. There are two issues I need fixed, below is a screenshot of the forum's chatbox for reference.
You'll note in the image the text submission field. The color I am using is the default chatbox color. It appears black in the submission field and posts white in the above viewing area. What I'm trying to do is make the default text color within the submission field white so that it is readable while typing it. Yes, I'm aware that I can simply change my font color and it'll be readable, and yes I can simply choose white to fix the problem, but I'd rather it be the default.
The second problem I would like fixed is the color of the member's names in the chatbox. I very much dislike the white underline under the admin's red names. Regular members appear white so simply changing the underline to red would not fix the problem as white names would then have a red underline. One of a few options would work in this situation:
1.) Change the underline to match the color of the Usergroup Default. Admins would have a red underline matching their name, members white, and moderators green. So on and so forth... However it would have to be auto-correcting, not manual. Since I'm not fluent in CSS, it would be an issue for me to constantly update the code to match the color of every new usergroup we add to the forum.
2.) Remove the underline. It's not necessary and this is likely the simplest route.
3.) Change the color of all users' names to white, matching the underline. This would make differentiating between Admins and Moderators impossible but if all else fails it would be an acceptable option.
I am able to add any css stylesheet coding you supply in the admin panel, I'm fluent enough to make those kinds of edits. It's just the creating of new lines of code that confuses me. I can, as well, supply you with any further information you may require. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
