I think I see what you mean. You'll want to change the default color for the .forumtitle back to the default #000000. The color specified there applies to everything in that table cell, not just links.

You only want to specify the blue color for the 4 special property boxes I mentioned above.

Also forgot to mention on the topicsubject one you'll need to do the same for the alt-topicsubject new-topicsubject and new-alt-topicsubject.

But I'd start with just working on the .forumtitle one for the forum titles until you get the hang of how it's changed.



The DemonGov Skin

I'm trying to make it look like this:

http://web.archive.org/web/20040401115203/www.libertyforum.org/wwwthreads.php?Cat=

(The page loads slow, but it does work. Just wait until it loads)


Ok, I did what you said. It looks blue now.

But the Forum Description also looks blue (I want it black)

I went to Category/Forum Properties

.forumdescript

It had no color, so I made it black

#000000;

It still looked blue so I added it black also in the Special Link Properties there. It still looks blue



Well I keep playing the Lottery every week. If I win the Lottery, I'll pay you guys to do this for me.

But that is a longshot

If you want to open up a basic support ticket and provide admin info, then I'll make the changes for that section and then you can do the same for the others once you see how it's done.

Active Link
Hover Link


Ok I made them all blue --- color: #000088;

But now the Forum Description is blue also


So I went to .forumdescrip and made it black

It still looks blue



It looks like a very dark blue


Something is wrong


I have the old CSS file of this archived site

http://web.archive.org/web/20040401115203/www.libertyforum.org/wwwthreads.php?Cat=


That blue there, of the Forum Titles and Subject Titles, is this blue: color: #000088;


Here is the Old CSS File of that archived site:

You're close. You still have the main forumtitle set to blue as well:

background: #F4EAD7;
color: #000088;
padding: 2px;
padding-left: 4px;
padding-right: 4px;


You need to change the color back to #000000;

The way it is now it's applying that blue color to everything in the table cell.

Ok, great. For the subject titles on the main page, you'll want to do the same thing for the .posttime class.

One sec on the proper font, will see if I can figure it out.

It looks like it gets the standard font settings from the body,tr,td settings, so:

verdana,arial,sans-serif

Thanks. That is for the Forum Title only?

Not the forum description?


For some reason, the blue color is off. It's as if it is mixing the black and blue together
