Another small css issue.

[tumbleweed]

Running:

smf 1.1/RC3
TP v0.9.5.
default templete

I diid some color changing to the css.

I just cannot seem to find were to change the color for the text that resides below the main forum.
Notice that you cannot read the text in that box.
Example given here:

http://www.gotcanyons.net/gc/index.php?board=10.0

any ideas?

[matera]

The class of that table is titlebg2, so you could change to:
color:#00FFFF;

[tumbleweed]

Here is the CSS I think i have highlight all the titlebg2 code,And i have changed it to #00FFFF.

Still does not work.  did i miss a code line somewere?

Since a solution for this has not been found.

Can any one tell me how to take all the info out of the box and just leave the drop down box.

Sorry, I've been kind of distracted... drat, something must be overriding it. Have you tried adding !important to the color? -
color:#00FFFF !important;

I always hate "shouting" like that, but sometimes it tips the balance.

This is similar to a problem I had once with the catbg classes, but that was fixed by adding a td or two. [I'm not using Tinyportal, either, so I don't know if that can monkeywrench it. Prob not...] It would take some careful digging in the PHP to get the text out. I wish I could be more helpful, but I have no themes with that part going against the default body font color. I think that is your main obstacle.
