"I don't understand this, sorry. Can you elaborate?"
The font and color menus are open, rather than closed, showing the expanded options when I log into the forum or move to a subforum and back to the forumhome page. In other words, within this reply I have text color options. I have to click the box to expand the color options. In my shoutbox, that box is already expanded the first time I log in.

"This is controlled by the rest of the colour options."
I've been looking in the files that control color options, but have been unable to locate the code that specifies the timestamp color. I have managed to change other background and popup menu colors.

"Have you tested this in a default (unmodified) style?"
I am using the default and the only modifications are related to color, style (rounded corners and shadows). No skins.

I really appreciate the quick response. Thank you!
