First, not sure why it is doing it but when i have a URL parsed, it doesn't underline it. How can I make it underline a link.

Second, on my who's online section, the names are very dark. Where can I change that color at.

My forum is www.us3s.com/freeforum and you will have to click the drop down menu and change the template to see.

Thanks

You have CSS style issues that are affecting the underline not showing up in URLs, and the who's online colors.

In the vBulletin AdminCP, from the style editor you can change the properties (colors, etc.) of your vBulletin board. If you weren't the one who changed them, perhaps get the person who did to fix it.

I guess the person who did it was Corey. I purchased the skin from vbforumskins.com

I guess I am kinda screwed now.

I already said you can fix it via the Admin Control Panel. If you're the administrator of your site, you really ought to learn how to at least navigate and use the AdminCP.

From the AdminCP go to Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> find your style and click the GO button -> scroll down and look at the different CSS bits. Make checks to see if the colors match. If the style was coded half decent, the creator would have done all style changes in CSS, and not hard code them into the templates. Otherwise, you'll need to check the templates (e.g. who's online template).

I'm currently using VB2. I have two sections in my admin cp. One is STYLES where it gives me the options of ADD STYLE, MODIFY, DOWNLOAD/UPLOAD and TEMPLATES, which gives me ADD, MODIFY, SEARCH, ADD TEMPLATE SET.

I have gone into Styles---->Modify----->"my current template name"----> Fonts,Colors,ETC. When I change the colors though, it doesn't do anything to the forum itself.

When I go into Templates------>Modify------>Expand List----->Who's Online Templates----->Expand-----> I come up with these options:
Who's Online Templates [expand]
whosonline [edit] [revert to original] [view original]
whosonlinebit [change original]
whosonlinebit_email [change original]
whosonlinebit_ip [change original]
whosonlinebit_pm [change original]
whosonline_email [change original]
whosonline_ip [change original]
whosonline_legend [change original]
whosonline_pm [change original]

When I go to Who's Online----> it gives me the information tied to when you click who's online.

Any other ideas on where to go to change the text color?

Gah, I haven't used vB2 in ages, so my mind is blank on how the setup was for configuring styles.

Although, I do know that vB3 is much easier to control and modify styles with. If you want easier, I suggest upgrading.

LOL. I'm poor. Do you have YIM or AIM?
