Our postbit background is black so I'm trying to override the usergroup color for staff to white
I have a class in additional.css .staffcolor {color: #000000;}
I just need help trying to figure out how to override the popup user name in the postbit.
.staffcolor {color: white;}
It's similar to this

I'm not a CSS expert or anything, but maybe something like:
.postdetails .staffcolor {color: white;}
You can try with !important:
color: #fff !important;

Thanks I tried but it didn't help. It's tricky because I can override it in other places but with the user name for postbit it's part of popup code.
Some people online mentioned to make changes to this code.
In popupmenu.css:
.memberaction.popupmenu a.popupctrl {
background: none;
padding: 0;
}
Any other ideas?

Did you try adding "!important" to your CSS class definition as Dave suggested?

If I use firebug and highlight username in postbit it brings this up. I can change the font size so I think this is the right spot but which css code to edit so we can change the color

Yes this is what I have in additional.css
.staffcolor {color: #000000 !important;}
The staff color is black this is working fine but for the postbit our background is black so I want the username to be white.
I just need to know where to put this code
.staffcolor {color: white !important;} in css
The thing I don't understand is that the username doesn't seem to be in the popup menu on my forum. Either I don't understand what you mean, or else yours is different for some reason.
Are you trying to override .staffcolor just in the postbit (and not in other places it appears)? Like i said I'm weak on CSS, but maybe
.memberaction.popupmenu .staffcolor {color: white;}
(I don't know if the space should be there or not, or if it makes any difference). ETA: oh, I guess maybe it needs to be there because otherwise you'd be selecting something that was marked with all three classes?

Correct i'm trying to override .staffcolor only for posbit
I will give that a shot.

If your staff usergroups are the only groups with HTML markup defined, then adding this CSS selector to your additional.css template should work:
div.username_container span
{
color: #FFFFFF !important;
}
edit: Sorry, I didn't see that you had already resolved the issue. :D
