You need to modfiy the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template.

Thanks FWC

:D

You're welcome. :)

Yes This works outstanding on my forums but i have one question. How o I add 3d borders to my actual posts when i post a message. Because the color alternates all the time and it would be impossible to have the same bevel for 2 different colors. One would look 3D while the other wuld look really funky. Please help thanks.

try doing a search/replace string =\

Well i am not that good with coding. Is there any way you can explain your self a little more please thanks.

Umm...
what do you mean ?
Do you want your text area to look 3 d with alternating 3 d colors ?

There's an easier way to do this without modifying your header or templates... and will do the actual posts as well as the index page.

Just go to Styles --> Modify --> fonts/colors/etc --> Main Colors

Add the code to your First and Second Alternating Table Background Color replacement.

My code reads this:

First Alternating Table Background Color:
#545454" style="BORDER-RIGHT: #303030 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #c0c0c0 2px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #c0c0c0 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #303030 2px solid;"

Second Alternating Table Background Color:
#646464" style="BORDER-RIGHT: #303030 2px solid; BORDER-TOP: #c0c0c0 2px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #c0c0c0 2px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #303030 2px solid;"

The result is This

You can copy and paste this in yours, then just replace the hex code with your colours, and adjust the px value if you like.

(slaps himself)

Thanks... That was so much easier... wonder why I didnt think of that...

:(
