A Suggestion re Colour Editing

I, no doubt like many others, like to make subtle changes to the colouring of my forum and its text from time to time.
The problem as I see it, in Display>>Colurs, is that some of the descriptions of the possible edits are a little vague - for eg Background 1, 2, 3, link, visited link, active link, title font, main font, code font, columns header colour, bodyline colour, and so on. Quite often you can be editing what you suppose is correct, and on going to the forum you'll see that something unexpected has happened on an internal page and the editing has to be re-done again.
Would it not be possible to have a view-list of what is going to be edited if you play with each field, a little along the lines of the Display>>Pics Management page?

I'd like to help you... but exactly for those reasons I don't use the basic css or the color editing.


Its way better to disable the colors menu and leave only your standard CSS.
Sure its not as simple as clicking a few boxes with colors... but editing the CSS directly is far more secure and it changes only what you want changed.

Point taken - But consider those new arrivals that have no interest in going into reams of code, or those new arrivals that have no intention of visiting this forum and have no idea what the basic colour editor is capable of.

In fact, a properly laid out instruction section on the page itself, might even tempt more users into starting their own forums once they realise that they are not stuck with basic template layouts and colours

I would suggest that you make the suggestion with a poll in the Suggestion forum.

Yeah, just checked out the suggestions section, and it looks like not many people go in there.
I'll put one in and see what happens
