or even instead of changin the colour just underlining them

    Sounds more like a CSS question...

      Sorry if this is in the wrong part I just thought all these editing problems were code related.

      Any ideas if its the CSS which line im looking for if i open say my subblack.css file

        Huh? You really think we will know that?

        Yes, in that file...edit something...

          css, html, stuff reference:

            Sounds like you're too lazy to read through the output source. Well, here's an alternate solution.

            Install latest Firefox and download this extension:
            http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/

            PRESS CTRL+SHIFT+Y
            HOVER your mouse over the element you wish to change color.
            You will see the element name in the status bar of your browser.
            EDIT that in the CSS File.

            Hope that's not too much work 😉

              OK I've installed FireFox, got the extension, enabled it, changed mode, hovered over and I got this:

              Ive opened my subblack.css file so does that mean I go CTRL+F (find) then put in row2 span gensmall a ???? Or is there a certain way of working this out???

                Yeah, that's basically it. You have to CTRL-F gensmall and make the changes inside that.

                You don't need to search for "row2 span gensmall a", just gensmall is enough to locate the "a" element.

                Inside of the brackets, just change the "color" property.

                If you don't want to make changes to subblack.css. You can include another css file below the declaration of the subblack.css and insert the a.gensmall yourself. Which will override in real-time only.

                Or you could just add <style>a.gensmall { color: #whateverColor }</style> just before </head>

                  Yeh but thats the section I changed before and it changed every link on my forum, I only wanted the Topic Colour changed

                    Oh, then you would need to assign a <span class="yourCustomClass">$daTopic</span> in the forum core files.

                      Hmm, once again really sorry for all this bother but im a complete newbie to this. See to make it easy. Could you tell me which file to open, what code to put in, and were about roughly i should put the code so that on the main forum page were i installed the Topic mod so it shows the topics replied in aswell as username.

                      This would help me out alot, or even instead of the colour, just make them underlined
