On the default.asp where it shows the categories and forums listed, between the forums, there's sort of a line. In our case, it's white or almost white and matches nearly the background of the forum name. then on the forum page, say we go to a forum, like our Transmission forum between where it lists each topic, there's the same sort of line that's white. Can we change the color of that border or line? It's too close to the background color, we'd like to darken it a bit. I've looked in the CSS and can only find TABLE borders, which have no impacts on this line. You can see here http://theamcforum-com.olympus.webwiz.net/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=4 and here http://theamcforum-com.olympus.webwiz.net/forum/default.asp It's like there are lines, but they are white, and the background is nearly white, so they lines don't really show. What are those, how can they changed to a darker colour? ------------- BillD http://theamcpages.com http://theamcforum.com |

You'd have to look into your forum, and under css_styles folder, will be the skin you are using, eg. web_wiz or default or dark. Inside that folder is default_css file which I think is the one you need to edit. It controls exactly how your forum appears, background colours, table borders, lines etc

Yes - but which section? I've tried several. Table borders has no impact other than to chang the border around the entire table - around the outside. Perhaps there is no section for that bit there............ it's undefined.... ------------- BillD http://theamcpages.com http://theamcforum.com |

Do you mean something like this? Okay I've tinkered a bit, but I know where you need to change the css to get for example a black line ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |

Yes! 
The colour isn't important, as I can tinker and try various colour codes. It's the location within the CSS, if that section even existed.
I looked and added bits to several sections in the CSS I'm using, and it didn't change a thing.
But that's the borders or lines I'm talking about.
It's white for us, and the background of the data is just slightly off-white. We'd like to give it just a bit more contrast.
Looks like you have found the location. ------------- BillD http://theamcpages.com http://theamcforum.com |

Okay  so you open your default_style.css file in a normal text editor (I use Araneae which is FREE). Don't try editing it in Dreamweaver or something like that!Come down to where you see */Tables*/ and look for tableBorder You'll see text-align, then border, then background-color (That's the one to change!!!) BEFORE you change anything back up your file first, then change that to whatever colour you want. In the image above I changed it from white to black, but you could do whatever ------------- http://www.123simples.com/" rel="nofollow - Visit 123 Simples Web Design |

Well, I have a server and sandbox setup at home, running SQL 2005 desktop, so it was simple to open the file in notepad, make the change, check it, then FTP it up. The problem was, i wasn't figuring out where the thing was in the file. I'd tried everything BUT that area.
Thanks. ------------- BillD http://theamcpages.com http://theamcforum.com |
