Text colors

I am in the middle of making a forum, but the text colors won't change. In the CP it says they are changed, but not on the actual forum. Any suggestions?

try pressing ctrl+F5

helps the most of the time

Nope doesn't work

Hi,

try refreshing ur page three ( 3 ) times - It will do the job for you, well it does for me

Hello,

If your forum is supported by personal CSS then it won't let you change colors from 'Color' tab. You need to do it with CSS.

Please give me a link to your forum and tell me color of what text you want to change.

Color of which text you want to change?

black

He meant color of which text portion you want to change?

ya I want all of the text colors black

ok...thanks for the info.
Go to your Admin CP > DIsplay > Colors > CSS.
Add this code there and submit.

Code:

body {
color : #000;
}

If you want to change link color to black as well, also put this code there.

Code:

a:link , a:visited , a:active {
color : #000 !important;
}

I tried that it didn't work

I saw in your forum, it works!
I see all text and links in black color.

If you are talking about post text color, here is the code for that...

Code:

.postbody {
color : #000;
}

If you wanna change profile field (Post, Age, Location etc) color, go to Admin CP > Users & Groups > Profiles > Click 'Modify' button and change color there.

I added your code but nothing changed. (yes i know my forum is a mess right now)

EDIT If I posted my original css codes on here would that be more helpful?

Yes, please give me the original CSS.
Thanks

I see all links and text are black in your forum but the posts.
Add this code to your CSS and post color will be black...

Code:

.postbody {
color : #000 !important;
}

finally ty
