Profile Text changing color when Changing Header background color

[Tracyf]

I am super new to vbullentin just purchased it last week, and have been working hard the past few days figuring out how everything works, got the most of it down and alot of the mods i wanted in but I have been racking my brain trying to figure out why the text color in the view profile page turns from black to white when I edit the header_background file, I changed the top option in here, Background Color from the original color #707070 to white #fffff and when I do this the background color under my logo does turn white but I realized that the text in the view profile also turns white which has me stumped, I do not know why its changing to white in the view profile page and If i don't make the background white it looks gross I want it to be white !!! Here r a few screen shots so u know what im taking about !!

Thanks to anyone that can help me with this issue !!
Hugs, Tracy

Hi Tracy

The reason it's doing this is because the memberinfo text color is also linked to this stylevar body_color.

So changing that will also alter your text color in your member profile.

To get around this try

Style Manager > Css templates > member.css

and find the following

#usermenu li a {
color: {stylevar body_color}
}

Change the color to sometyhing like this:

#usermenu li a {
color: #F70CDB;
}

Thanks for your reply Robbie I did try this but i can't find #usermenu li a {
color: #eaba11;{stylevar body_color}
} its not in that file !!!

I am using vB4 any other ideas for me to try ???

Thanks in advance !!

One sec, what board number are you using?

[Tracyf]

I'm using 4.1.3

[RobbieZ]

Right, sorry about that, no wonder you couldn't find it. Let me check my other board.

OK, Ive had a good hunt round, A few scratches of the head and come up with this.

Do your changes as you did before so you get the white text color in your profile.

Now in your profile, hit the 'Customize My Profile'

Scroll down and find 'Inactive Modules' and change this to a different color - Inactive Module Link Color

Now in that same panel hit 'Save As Site Default' this will change it global, the only thing is, it changes Add Albums and Join Groups to that same color.

Other than that I'm a little stumped and will probably kick myself when I find out.

Hope that helps

Problem is that this solution works for about 1 second. The moment you go back to forum and then check Profile again...the "old" colors are back.
At least, that's what's happening on my site.

There's a conflict somewhere, where these CSS settings get overruled later I think.

Stumped here as well. Looking for a way to revert to the original situation and disable Profile Customization...coz that's just not working correctly.
