Does anyone know how I alter the borders as shown in the image attached.
I've tried chasing it down with firebug but it says the border is from and iframe that's calling a font color for the border, that can't be right surely!
The skin can be seen here at present (yes, it's a 3.8.0 B1)

It's not finished yet, it is nearly ready, a few bits to iron out but, this is one of my own phpBB3 templates I'm porting over to vBulletin. It'll be released here FREE when it's done ;)

Hope someone can tell me how to handle those border colors, they're driving me bonkers.

Nobody knows?
This is ready to be released for testing apart from this border problem.

I don't see anything like that on the page you linked to, so I really can't help.

Hi Lynne, yeah sorry, I should have been clearer obviously, it's the input area for posting.
There's a really ugly pink border there, I can live with the blue one, the pink one simply has to go, you can see it in the demo image I have posted. Sadly our server is down just now for emergency maintenance apparently. If you need me to do so, when our server is back up and runnign I can create a test account there and PM you the login details so you can see it for yourself!

Can you please PM me with a test account? Your site is up right now, but when I clicked on New Thread (I would guess that is the page?), I was told I had to log in.

Hi Lynne, I just set up the account and have sent you the login details.:)

Hmmm, it doesn't look like that for me at all. What browser are you using?

FF3, are you using IE?

:eek: Watch your mouth!!!

No, I'm using ff3 on a mac. It looks slightly different in Safari - the border below Message: is a light gray. But, the other borders are black.

Hmmm, any ideas on how I can force all browsers to use the same border colour or is it going to have to stay as a browser dependant colour?

Cross-browser color matching in css is not something I have ever tried to figure out. The only thing I can really think of to do is to try to add some style to the table perhaps? Maybe you can add style="color:black' or similar to the table or row or column and see if that changes things.

Hiya Lynne, sorry mate, been so busy I have only just had the chance to catch up here, that issue remains unresolved alas.
I have released this here as of today, if someone discovers a solution to it then it can be added to the skin, the skin is just fine without it but it is a little niggling is all.
