hi everyone,

can anyone tell me how to change the background colour of the post form on the forums - v6.

like where you enter Subject and Message, i'd like it be a coloured background rather than white.

TIA,

Simon.

I don't think you can do that. The IE Texbox is very limited to editing.

IN version 6 you can change the colour of the IE text box quite easily. On about line 84 of skin_file.inc you'll find:
Const strIETextBoxColour = "#FFFFFF"

Change the colour in there and away you go.

Changing the colour of the text area for non IE browsers, and the subject line in general is more complex, and requires changing atleast the relevant pages that display the text boxes, and maybe the style sheet as well.

Check out my forum running v6. I've also created a mod on that that allows registered users to select different skins - all with the correct background colours in the IE text box.
