[simalert]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I have done exactly as you've said and it's still not making any difference at all. Not sure why it's not taking affect

I am using vBulletin 3.5.3 and have attached the screenshots of the changes and main forum display with a newly posted thread below.

Thanks

I have just had a look at the page source and found the following,

<strong><a href="showthread.php?t=13179" id="thread_title_13179" class="newthread">k700</a></strong>

and further up the top I can see the newthread css code defined too, so it's being put in the page but just not having any affect on firefox or IE.

This has really thrown me now, anyone got any ideas??

Thanks

This is the stylesheet from inside the same page that I viewed the source on after making these changes

<!-- / CSS Stylesheet -->

So does that look like it's in the right place?
(was wondering if it was entered wrong if that was the cause of the browsers ignoring the CSS, but I can't see anything wrong)

*edit*

Ok, now I can see the cause of the problem, but may need help fixing it.

I loaded the page source code in to Dreamweaver and examined the CSS using the CSS editor which told me that it won't work due to the following error

color does not apply to your selection because it has been overridden by the rule .alt1 a:link, .at;1Active a:link

So it appears that an existing attribute in the CSS code is overriding the changes suggested here.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get around that please?

Thanks
