Thanks for the mod Natch

works great. *clicks install*
For my installation, the Hardwired style had the same alt1 and alt2 backgrounds and changing the second one made the rest of the style look bad, so I changed all of the alt2Active classes to alt1Hover and defined this class in the Additional CSS Definitions at the bottom:
HTML Code:
/* ***** styling for hover effect in forums ***** */
.alt1Hover {
inherit-class: alt1Active;
background-color: #647180;
cursor:pointer;
font-size: 12px;
}
The inherit-class gives the new class all the same properties as the original class, then i just change the background and cursor. "pointer" is like "hand", but works in Firefox too. And the font-size didn't inherit correctly in IE, so I had to copy the value to the new class. Hope that helps someone.
