    Posted: 21 July 2007 at 1:33pm
I'm still working my way thru the new default_style.css file to customise the presentation of version 9 as we require. Further to the outstanding issue relating to the format of "Post Options" I have a couple more questions:
 
1) As with previous versions, I have to remove the following lines to get the forum to match up with our home page and header etc:
 
margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
This works fine but causes the new Search and Topic Search panels to have margins and causes problems. How can I add those margin lines so to effect Search and Topic Search only?
 
2) Is there a way to change the font size, colour, etc on standard form fields, drop-downs and buttons?
 
3) Is there a way to change the font size, colour, etc on the little notes that pop up when you hover over most page items?
 
Many thanks.

4) The Member Dropdown on a posting uses a different CSS attribute to the Member Dropdown on Seach Results. Search Results is also missing the triangular icon.

1. This has been fixed for the next version

2. Yes there is a way in CSS to apply CSS styles form elements, if you have a search on Google you should find plenty on this

3. Never looked into this as it's just taken from the browser default. A search on Google may find a way to change the browser default using CSS

4. This has been fixed for the next release.

Many thanks.
 
2) A basic solution is to add to the css file:
 
select       { color: #009999; font-size: 12px; }
input        { color: #009999; font-size: 12px; }

 
5) It would also be sensible if the main top menu (Forum Home: Member Control Panel etc.) used a different CSS attribute to the normal table.
 
Where the header has a table border (as on my site) it is cleaner that this menu has no border at all...but if I remove the border in CSS I also lose the border on the list of forums and elsewhere.

I'm afraid Nick-V you are just a few hours late with your suggests the final version of Web Wiz Forums version 9 has been released along with the new web site.

Great news on the new version...I'm sure these are things that can be handled later...indeed my solution above can be added by anyone with little technical ability like me.

7) Not a CSS issue but I'll list it here anyway. I subscribe to all forums so I get email notifications of everything. I looked in Member Control Panel | Subscriptions and sure enough the forums were listed.
 
As they were not in the right order I decided to delete a couple and reinstate them to see if that would help. They deleted OK but I could not subscribe again using the feature at the bottom of the page. So I deleted ALL subscrptions and tried again - still nothing. So I went to a forum and subscribed successfully from there (Forum Options). Thereafter the feature in Control Panel worked.
 
Small hickup...workaround possible. Would be good to investigate this (post-conversion issue perhaps) and it would be really tidy to present forums in the right order (low priority).
