style colors...this one eludes me

[creedmaniac]

I've been sitting here for a while messing with the forumhome template trying to set a color. I've tried to add a BGCOLOR attribute to all the table, tr, td, etc tags in this area...and can't seem to get anything to change...can someone please help me...am i looking in the wrong place?

on the attached image i'm trying to get the two dark yellow fields to be the same color as the page background.

there is a light yellow on the outside (which is the page background)...the two fields are dark yellow separated by a thin line of the page backgrounds light yellow...(two fields are the one with the 'log out Creed' and 'forum is closed...blahblah')

i want it all to be the light yellow background color

without seeing the actual page I would just be guessing ...
can you provide a url?

things you can look for:

external CSS on "table" or "td"

also, you may want to remove and classes on the "table", "td", "span", "div", that may be found within that table

removed url

remove "background: #FFF380;" from td, th, p, li in your CSS (style manager)
