chaqnging a font color in PHP forum

[IDLE]

i am trying to change the color of the font in the body of a post. like here it is a black color. i have a light grey back round with an even lighter grey font that is very hard to see. i just need to know where to change this color on the .css template file.

i think i have to change the forum.css. this looks to be my link. i have modified this in taking out some things

 

[Grandmaster]

IDLE, what the address to your forum? I can only help if I know what the html and css from your forum look like.

In forum.css, at line 993 there's the following code:

.msgtext

    {

    line-height: 140%;

    border-top: 1px solid #ffffff;

    margin-top: 10px;
}

You want to change that to:

.msgtext

    {

    line-height: 140%;

    border-top: 1px solid #ffffff;

    margin-top: 10px;

[B]    color: #ffffff;
[/B]
}

Of course you can use any other color too, but white would work best on that gray background.

didn work. tells me An invalid post id was requested

Are you sure you edited forum.css and not some other file? Because editing CSS files shouldn't give you an error like that.

the file name was forum.css

i fixed my issue. there are two different views for the forum. threaded or flat view. i had it n treaded. once i changed it too flat, all is good.
