How can I modify this?

In the image, the text that is white needs to be changed. What part of the CSS document affects this? Normally I would look for the hex code, but seeing that there are many things that could be white, I don't want to mess with anything else.

You cannot edit that text using CSS. CSS is just to style your forum not put text in it. Thats why you need to edit the template for that to get that text changed.

Depending on your version of phpBB if your using v2 then you can edit the templates, if your using v3 then you cannot as that feature is not available.

i am new at this so i kind of don't know what I'm doing????????

Okay, thank you.

Totally wrong answer.

He doesn't want to change the text itself. If you read his questions, he wants to change the COLOR of the text that shows in while.

Additonally - he COULD change the styles of his text in the CSS page if he wanted to and new the proper style codes. But the answer to his question is this ...

Cjanz ....
Go to your CP and then display/colors/advanced view. On the right you will see a preview of your page. Anything you change on the editing side you'll see on the preview page.

Find all the text boxes that show as white (hex #FFFFFF) and click in the box. Select the color you want (black is hex#000000) and and click it. You will see the color change in the preview. If it's not the text you wanted to change, just re-enter #FFFFFF back in that box and try another that shows as white. When you get the right text, click SAVE and you're good to go.

ooooh, brandon .... you made a poopie ...
the CSS controls the entire display of the forum... it can't change the text but color most defiantly, independent of the phpbb version.

go to admin panel-> display -> colors -> CSS tab
find this code:

Code:

 }
body {
font-family: Verdana,Tahoma,MSdialog,sans-serif;
color: #59a82a;
background-color: #535353;
background-image: url('http://2img.net/i/fa/empty.gif');
background-attachment: scroll;
font-size: 10px;

and there where it says color: #59a82a ... replace it with anyother color...
ofcourse the hexcode will be different on your site cos i used my CSS to show you...

replace the color: code
not the background-color
