How do I change profile font colours

[dannycutts]

Hello All,

I have managed to get the theme of my forum somewhere near what I want but I just cant find the place to chnage the font colours in the profile

As you can see the sidebar is light blue and the font is white....lol

Any ideas would be fantastic

hi danny
if you are using mozilla firefox it's better to install firebug and you can find any class you need to change easily

for example to change userinfo font color you need to to search for following in your templates (in CSS templates) :

.sidebar_container {
.member_username {
and add these :
font-family: blahblah
font-size: blahblahpx
color:#blahblah
you need to play with different classes and values to find correct place

you see it would be easy if VB4 used the main css style sheet I got this message

This CSS file is obsolete and is available here for reference purposes only

so I still stuck....

It maybe obvious but I will be damned if I can see this

Cheers

You can add additional.css to the additional.css template.

Well I found the bit I need to change using FireBug now I just need to find it in Vbulletin

#sidebar_container.member_summary

Any ideas?

Danny

Try a Search in Templates for it. (I'm guessing there is also a space before the .member_summary so make sure you put that in.)

[dannycutts]

Ok more progress I found the css files but its in the VB4 formatting

color: {vb:raw moduleinactive_text_color};

I want that to change the font color to black .... any ideas?

Cheers

Are you turning on Profile Customizing? If so, then you shoudl follow the article Edwin posted about how to set the default colors for the profile page. If not, then just add the new CSS to the additional.css template.

[dannycutts]

I have turned user profile customization off in the usergroup settings and have no intention in letting my user customise their profile pages.

so I add just normal css code to aditional.css do I need to edit userprofile.css to tell it to get the info from aditional.css?

Thanks again for all the help

I have made a little more progress...

If i click customise in teh profile I can get the profile page exactly as I want it.... which is good but i want to be able to set that as the default for every member.... any ideas?

I cant beleive how hard this has been... surely it has to be easier.

So far I am not toooo impressed with Vbulletin meant to be the best and for the money I was expecting a whole lot more forum and useability... this has been a steep learning curve.. it will be worth it in the end i hope

I wrote this for someone else, perhaps it would help you:
#sidebar_container a {color: black !important;}
#sidebar_container .blocksubhead {color:black !important;}
dl.tabslight dd.userprof_moduleinactive a {color:black !important;}
.userprof_button {color: black !important;}
.pagination span a.popupctrl {background: none;}

This is in my sig....

If I post some CSS and don't say where it goes, put it in the additional.css template.

After cruising the styles for like 4 hours to find a solution to this, I stumbled across this post. You are my idol!
