I don't know if I'm the only one having this probem, but I changed to the 'new look' or whatever and none of my old CSS modifications are working now.  My header image is gone (i still have the URL) and none of the colors i changed are anything like before.  Any advice?

Ah okay.  So when posting
Hey here's my brand new scetch!
http://exampleurl.lefora.com/my-brand-new-scetch/
There's no way to change how that looks, but it will still be a link?

~Levi

So it is impossible to use hyperlinks in signatures I take it?  It would be extremely useful if it was allowed, even if only hyperlinks were allowed.
I have a role-playing forum (well, actually I have 4, but they're all linked together, and I may eventually add more) and it would be nice to be able to link character descriptions in signatures, while still being able to have a bit of room.

Is there some other way in which one can link a thread to their profile so it's easy to reference?

~Levi

Honestly I have no idea.  I've been having the same problem.  What I DID get to work, was changing the text inside of them to a different, more readable, color.  I also have no idea what part of code I used for that, I'll keep looking though.

EDIT:
Found something that works:

#content .linkuser {
background-image:none;
}

On mine, this makes it much more readable.  I think this is what you're trying for, but I'm not sure.  This changes the background on the user tags (the one above my post that says 'scytheron') from 'transparent' to 'none'.

Also, if you wish to change the color of the text, just put in a 'color:????;' ok?

Xirro, take a look at my forum:  http://www.arcanesanctum.lefora.com/forum/

The code I used for that was:
#header {
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(http://www.IMAGEURLHERE.com/blahblahblah;
background-position: 25px 123px;   (Adjust these to fit your image in how you like)
padding-bottom: 60px;  (this is also needed, it makes your header taller, with more 'padding' on the bottom.)
}

Just delete what I put in the parentheses and input the info you need to.

It works for your footer too, just change #header to #footer


AHHH another question which i've been working on for a bit now...
On this page the 'catagory' links are all grey, but when I mouse over them, they turn white.  I need to set them to be white constantly... I can't figure out what my problem is.  I have the 'catagory list' set to color:white; but it isn't working.

Thanks Cookies and Chief.  I'm also looking for a way to create a 'button' to do what the section at the top (forum, headlines, members, about) does, except have a single image in front of the different 'buttons'.  Its hard to explain, but I've seen it on myspace before.  What I have now that is similar to it is my top widget on www.arcanesanctum.lefora.com but I would like to combine all those buttons into a single image.

Sorry for asking so much of all you guys

Alright sorry I just fixed my problem. Thanks for your help. the #page thing worked.  (I had tried it before but apparently I had done something wrong.)

New question though.  I would like to make my background (for basically everything) transparent, so I can see my background behind them.  It's dark enough to read on but I have NO idea how to do it.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch,
~Levi

I didn't ever use the tutorial on firebug, but it should help to some extent.

All I use is the 'inspect' function.  You just move your mouse over an 'element' (everything that makes up your site is an element) then it shows you what its called technically. It will show you (in the bottom right corner) the preferences. 

I.E.:
}

That is the border around the box I'm typing in at the moment, and the color it is set to. (minus the period)

Assuming the names on your blog are the same, you would simply change that number to either a different one (#000000 is black #FFFFFF is white, etc..)  or a word:

.#posts_wrapper {

Streetnologerx7, if you download firefox (which is the best browser for PCs at the moment) and install firebug, you can use the 'inspect' function to see the different sections which can be modified, and how they work.  It is a bit confuzing, even for someone who has done some HTML editing before. 

Just play around with it, and make sure you dont change anything that has '!important' before it, it will most likely screw up your site.

I have a question now for the cheif.  I have a header image on all four of my forums, which are linked together using the 'links' widget, and some little custom HTML badges.  I am trying to add a background to the entire forum (all four actually) and have the header be on top of it.

The code for the header is something to the effect of:
-#header {background-image:image.url.com/picture
background-position:Xpx Xpx}-

How would I add in my background?  I've been playing with firebug and cant get anything to work.

Thanks a ton,
~Scy

I'm sorry for double posting, but I found it with firebug.  It took some learning but firebug is really useful.

How about changing catagory text colors? i've been messing around with firebug (which is amazing) and even crashed my forum for a few minutes because I put something in wrong regarding widgets.  However, I cannot seem to figure out how to change my catagory text (like on the main page) all to white or something lighter than grey.

Thanks
