I'm trying to change just the font color of the links that appear underneath the post which say "previous topic", "index" and "next topic". I want to change just these link colors (or just the background behind just the text itself but not the background of the whole page) because my page background is pretty dark and the color I currently use is hard to read.

Is there a way to do this through the control panel? Thanks.

You may need to change those links by assigning them unique style properties. Probably will need to alter the template (or where ever those links are being called) and assign those properties in Control Panel » Styles » Edit » Extra Properties

Football is too close for me to look up exact details right now

In /templates/default/showflat.tpl you'll see a <DIV> surrounding those three links, around line 194 (in v7.0). You should be able to add a style to that DIV to change the link colors and/or background color.

This is untested, so play with it. Change that <div> to <div class="prevnext"> then add something like this to "Extra Properties" in the Styles Editor:

I'm no CSS expert, but it'd probably be something like this (edit colors accordingly)


Do the same for showthreaded.tpl once you got it working...
