why does my board load then change colors?
 

I'm sure there is a simple reason for this that I'm overlooking. But I customized my board's look, but when you first get to the page, or re-fresh the page it shows the default color theme. I'm sure it's somethig to do with CSS values. I think the simple view without graphics is all the default blue, but I can't fine where to change those settings. I looked in the "All Style Options" But that's where I have all of my gradients loaded. here's a link to my board.

those values are indeed in the "all style options", however you just missed them, because in the color box you would see those background images that you have set.

For example, one of the values that I looked at in your style is this,

background: #869BBF url(images/gradients/blackgrey_tcat.gif) repeat-x top left;

You need to change the value #869BBF to a different color. That way, when your page is loading, before the background image is placed, you would see that color first.

Hope that helps.

Yep, makes perfect sense. I was thinking if I specified a color value there it would get rid of my graphic.

Thanks!:D

no problem bud ;)
