How to change forum post color background?
 

I want to change the background of the posts that users read. Right now, I've changed the coding in the postbit template and replaced the alt1 class: <td class=alt1
with this: <td class=""

Now I'm left with a black background on all new posts, like you see below:

How and where can I put in the code for a solid background with my color of choice?

I've tried adding in bgcolor to the td tag but have had no luck.

first of all, restore the template edit you made i.e. leave it to alt1

now, go to admincp->styles and templates->style manager->choose your style->all style options->Edit the First Alternating Color to your liking

I'd like for both to be different though :erm:. The options i have in, First Alternating Color work great for the forum page, but look poor on new posts. I'm not sure why both are connected with the same class.

Just add a new class, its better not to alter global classes.. make a new class .alt3 put background,fonts,colors to ur liking n etc.. and just change the alt2 to alt3 in postbit

Attitude5ire, where can I put the code for the new class?

Main CSS... in advanced css section at bottom.
