I mean the quick reply box and the actual reply box. How can I edit that? I really dislike how it looks. I'm just looking into doing few simple edits. Round corners would be nice.

To find the template to modify, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code. Sometimes the template is the one mentioned at the very top of the page source.

Do you know which template to edit to go and change the 'posting' box? If not, then you need to find the template first before you go and edit what it looks like and I was posting instructions on how to find that template name.

Well does anyone know which template it is? :D I am not sure but is it editor_css template? If it is that I have no clue on what to change from there to have the box be a gradient and have solid lines instead of the godaweful "3D" type of look

I can't seem to find how to change the inset border style into solid or something else. That is the main thing that bothers me about the message boxes. I want the borders to be solid and not inset or outset.

If i'm correct you can change the editor/quick reply/new thread boxes here:

> admincp
>> styles
>>>style manager
>>>> go to the style you need and from the dropdown menu choose: Toolbar Menu Options

You can edit the .css from there and add new classes etc!
