For the CSS.. heres what I did.
The page I included the login_inc.php already had a CSS Style Sheet applied to it so I just used the class...
Anyway part of my style sheet.
PHP Code:
<style>
.orange{
color:#FF9300;
text-decoration:none;
}
.orange2{
color:#FF9300;
}
.orange_9{
color:#FF9300;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:9px;
}
<style>
Now all I did was add the class to the line of code I needed to apply a style to..
PHP Code:
echo "<br><a href=\"".$forumpath."search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getnew\" class=\"orange\">New Posts</a>: $newposts<br />";
The above is the same code as yours below, however I didn't want to use the vB Phrase so I entered my own text.. other than that its the same as yours.
notice this part...
PHP Code:
class=\"orange\">
thats how you enter the class, and when you include the script onto your page the part with the class should have been styled..
As for the CuteNews thingy Im not sure.. I'll need to see the file functions.inc.php and the rest of your code.
Anyway hope I was of some help
