Hi

Just found your site today and already am impressed with the Skinning Knowledge and already done a couple of Edits.
Thanks so much.

One thing I'm still looking for though, is How I can Colour and Bold the Sub Forum Headings...as well as the Main Forum Headings.
Surely this isn't too difficult a thing.

I tried this question for ages on one or two other Forums, but no one seems to know or answer!

I'm using 3.1.2

Hoping you can Help.

RObert

Welcome aboard Posted Image

The three items you're talking about, shown below in red:

Posted Image

are controlled by very same CSS setting:

Quote

table.ipb_table a {

color:#800000;

text-decoration:none;

}

You can change those fonts for all three items, but for individual ones.

Sorry..

Thanks, I went there but there are a few bits there like that, and I'm slightly afraid I might muck things up. I'll give it a go, but I just want to be sure what my choices are in terms of how I do a certain part Bold and Orange or something. Your bit of code was great, but not sure what bit I can and should change to what? I'm sorry if I'm troubling you, but I'm not an expert, but working towards it, thanks to people like you.

Caio
Robert

Actually, I have to apologize, because I mislead you.
I was looking at my custom skin.

In default IPB skin, CSS settings are slightly different.

For bold text in mentioned sections, you have to add a line in red:

Quote

table.ipb_table a {

text-decoration:none;

font-weight:bold;
}

Font color is set in this CSS setting:

Quote

a {

color:#284B72;

}

Ok..thanks. I'm getting closer I think.
Below is the code I found.
I'm trying to show the SubForum Title in an Orange Color, so is the bit I've highlighted, the bit I need to change?

Quote

table.ipb_table ol.subforums {
padding-top: 6px;
margin-top: 5px;
}

table.ipb_table ol.subforums li {
background: transparent url({style_images_url}/bullet_black.png) no-repeat 3px 4px;
color: #cfdef0;
font-size: 0.85em;
padding: 0 4px 0 15px;
float: left;
}

table.ipb_table ol.subforums li.newposts {
background: transparent url({style_images_url}/bullet_green.png) no-repeat 0px 0px;
color: #ff9900;
font-size: 0.85em;
padding: 0 4px 0 16px;
float: left;
}

I've tried it and the answer is no.
Still looking for the Holy Grail in SubForum Titles Colour and Bold!

Probably, it's going to be easier, if you give me a link to your site, so I can take a look.
