Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with the links at the top of my forum.
I need to change the background colour of 2 links so they match the other link buttons.
I've attached a picture so you know what I mean.
Could someone please tell me where I change this option.
Thank you.

AWF · #2 07-06-2008, 02:54 PM

someone must know...
please

You have used the wrong class in the 'navbar' template. You need to change the class of the table cell to vbmenu_control

AWF · #4 07-06-2008, 03:08 PM

i only installed vB yesterday so am VERY new to it. i don't understand all it's techno talk yet.
could you walk me through it please...

Post your navbar template (Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates).

vBulletin Blogs and your "Donation" mod are dynamically altering the template. You will need to find the plugin in which they do this and change the column's class (<td>) to "navm".

AWF · #8 07-06-2008, 03:31 PM

how do i do that? i really don't understand how to change the column's class... i don't even know what that means. i'm really really new to this and don't understand anything you're saying.
i appreciate your help but could you break it down for me please.

--------------- Added [DATE]1215369889[/DATE] at [TIME]1215369889[/TIME] ---------------

please can someone help me. im ready to re-open my forums but dont want to while the nav links look the way they do cos it's pretty ugly. please help!!

Dismounted · #9 07-07-2008, 06:41 AM

You'll have to get someone to do it for you then.

AWF · #10 07-07-2008, 06:32 PM

can someone not talk me through it? just tell me where i need to go and what exactly needs to be changed. step by step.
