No, that is not it.

That only changes the viewing area, not the actual posting area.  Maybe I didn't explain well enough.  When you click "Post" or "reply"  the window area you type in.  For example, in this forum it is white with black text. 

Understand?

No, that is not it either...LOL

[Deaks]

take a screenshot and highlight what area

[1MileCrash]

YES it is. Runic Warrior is right. Unless that input box is using another class.

[Brad]

The two input bckgs had no effect on the area where you type in for posting.  I've attached an image of the area I would like to lighten up.

[1MileCrash]

it's an input box. Warrior Zombie/Runic Warrior/Sloopz/Uncle Brian/Stop Changing your damn username was correct. Try refreshing while you're on that page.

will change once more after Samhain back to my original of sloopz

I have tried, trust me.  It only effects input boxes like buttons, radio boxes, stuff like that.  It does not effect the posting area.

[1MileCrash]

then it must be using a different class. Look for the input box in post.template.php for the input box. See if it has any attributes telling it to be white, or #FFFFFF

[Deaks]

simple question, did you change it to your specified colour or did you just copy and paste, or upload the correct file?

[1MileCrash]

crap. i missed it.

change the "editor" class.

this one.
