Hi

Wondering how to change the black letters outside the main box like dates and time, so they will be white but remain black inside the forum box like name of contributor and the topic itself?

good morning

I am not sure if I have understood you correctly, do you mean on these pages, in which you could try below, or do you mean on the forum topic summary pages.

in your style sheet change

.msgOddTableTop, .msgOddTableSide{
background-color: #2B2B2B;
font-size: 11px;
}


to

.msgOddTableTop{
background-color: #2B2B2B;
color:white;
font-size: 11px;
}

.msgOddTableSide{
background-color: #2B2B2B;
font-size: 11px;
}


bye

Ian

They highlighted groups has the same color in CSS and do you make it white, then nothing is seen in the forums. Do you make it black ,then everything is fine on the forums, but not the date/time when background is dark.

Good afternoon,

The specific item you mention is in default.asp, at about line 475

  <td class="smText"><% = strTxtTheTimeNowIs & " " & TimeFormat(now()) %><br /><%


Note the use of the style smText, however smText is used in many other places.

So you will need to create a new style, copied from smText and then experiment with you own forum's background to see where you can leave smText and where you need to use your new style.

If you don't have much in the way of development tools you can open a cmd window, cd the folder for the source files and do

find "smText" *.asp.

The slight problem you have is that when you upgrade your forum you will have to put these changes back. 

On my forum I have just commented this lines out as I didn't want this information displayed.

Bye 

Ian
