Colour problem

No matter what I change, the colour never changes. Even when I hit save.

What color? and where you trying to change it?

I was trying to change most colours.

Hi,

Have u tried refreshing ur browser about 5 times in a row yet?

that usually does it for me

That didn't help. It shows the colours are changed in the boxes, but on the actual forum it is the same.

try clearing ur cache & cookies, maybe that will help.

It might be in the CSS, as !important...

Clear your cache. Change your color. Should work. If not, it is a CSS problem.

Kin, the CSS colours for the forum general background doesn't use !important I believe.

Ddwl, I believe that you obviously did not read the thread; as iv already asked the user to clear their cache & cookies (Always do the cookies, its important)

I expressed it as steps, rather than a statement. Just ensuring the OP knows what to do next.

I hit save and it says saved successfully, but no, cache and cookies cleared did nothing.

What part of the CSS do you want?

Your forum skin uses personal CSS, so you won't be able to change it through Colors tab.

What can I swap to make it be able to do that?

You can deactivate the custom CSS, but that will make ur forum look bad.
Admin panel >> Display(tab) >> Pics and colors/Colors CSS Stylesheet > Scroll to the bottom of the big window > "Deactivate the basic CSS" = No > Save.

No, don't deactivate it. It may mess up your forum look.
You should make change in the CSS only.

what do i change?

It depends on color of what thing you want to change.
Editing CSS is not easy, you need to learn it to understand properly.

Tell me what color you want to change and I will help you with the CSS.
Also give a link to your forum.

First off, the link text. Then the border colour. I want to change all the green

Add this code to Admin CP > Display > Colors > CSS...

To change link color...

Code:

a:link {
color : green !important;
}

For border color...try this...

Code:

.inner {
border : green !important;
}

Border did not work, but the text kinda did.

Most text is now red (I swapped green to red) but the home, titles and 3 forums are still green.

I appreciate your help.

Try this code for border...

Code:

.inner {
border : 1px solid green !important;
}

For titles...

Code:

.table-title h2 , .topics , .posts , .lastpost {
color : red !important;
}

Look at my forum again. Please keep helping.

The CSS always overrides the basic colors you've put out elsewhere. Simply delete the bits of the CSS (or all of it, if nothing special) and there should really be no problem.

If the problem lies in the basic CSS, then copy and paste the basic CSS into the box and press 'Deactivate basic CSS', then modify it as you wish.

Deactivate does nothing for me

I have this exact same problem

Anyone?

Hi,

Ankillien is not present at this moment, please be patient until he comes online please.

Try this code for border...

Code:

#wrap {
border : 1px solid red !important;
}

If it doesn't work, please give me a copy of your whole CSS.

Thanks! That worked, but if you look at my URL, there is still green text.
