Hi All,

I tried to post this in the MODS forum but didn't have access so figured I would post it here.

I have been having a lot of fun with v7 Beta 4 and came across one thing that I needed to MOD in order to make the skin within the IE Text box in WYSWIG editor consistent.  I have a darker background for my forums and the system defaulted to black as the text color for the WYSIWYG editor box.  This didn't look nice at all when a post was made and I couldn't find a way around it using the existing code.  Thus the mod.

To change your default text color requires two simple mods.

SKINFILE.ASP (located in the forum\includes subdirectory)

Under the 'Misc heading add the following code:

Const strIETextColour = "#FFFFFF" 'Colour of the text in the IE WYSIWYG Post Editor Box

IE_textbox.asp (located in the forum subdirectory)

At the bottom of the page just above the line that reads <% = strMessage %></body> add the following code:

<style type=""text/css"">
<!--
.text {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: <% = strIETextColour %>;}
-->
</style>

That's it. 

Hope this helps anyone that has been having problems with this.
