Changing Link Colours

aumz · 19 Feb 2006 at 17:37

I have just installed phpBB and also a different theme than the standard one. However since doing that the links posted in the forums are the same colour as the standard text. I have gone into the config to change the code for the LINK COLOUR (was empty) but does not seem to be taking effect.

Can anyone help me please on this.

Style Information - http://www.aumz.com/forums/
(http://www.aumz.com/forums/templates/phpXP2/phpXP2.css)
These are the cascading styles that apply to that element:

Code:

a, a:link, a:active, a:visited    (line 119)
{
    text-decoration: none;
    color: rgb(0, 0, 32);
    font-family: Verdana,Helvetica;
}

a, a:link, a:active, a:visited    (line 119)
{
    text-decoration: none;
    color: rgb(0, 0, 32);
    font-family: Verdana,Helvetica;
}

a:hover    (line 127)
{
    text-decoration: none;
    color: rgb(99, 176, 42);
    font-family: Verdana,Helvetica;
}

a.forumlink, a.forumlink:link, a.forumlink:visited, a.forumlink:active    (line 136)
{
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 13px;
    color: rgb(0, 0, 32);
    font-family: Verdana,Helvetica;
}

a.forumlink, a.forumlink:link, a.forumlink:visited, a.forumlink:active    (line 136)
{
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 13px;
    color: rgb(0, 0, 32);
    font-family: Verdana,Helvetica;
}

a.forumlink:hover    (line 146)
{
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 13px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: rgb(99, 176, 42);
    font-family: Verdana,Helvetica;
}

From the above you can see rgb(0,0,32) which is almost black - this is the colour of the links, if you change the value of the following rule in the CSS file (line 136) to the colour you want it should work, unsure if you can do the same via some admin interface or not.

Code:

a.forumlink, a.forumlink:link, a.forumlink:visited, a.forumlink:active   
{
    text-decoration: none;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 13px;
    color: rgb(0, 0, 32);
    font-family: Verdana,Helvetica;
}

When I check it im getting this

/* Links to a topic while viewing a forum */

a.topiclink, a.topiclink:link, a.topiclink:active, a.topiclink:visited
{
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 13px;
color: 000020;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica

Ya, that will be almost the same colour though.
Red == 00
Green == 00
Blue == 20

so it will be a VERY dark green.

Also should have a #, so...
color: #000020;
