Hello. I am hoping some vbulletin pros can help me here.


Our site is www.sonsofvalour.org/forums

The first thing is that the forums looks squareish in IE9 but nice and rounded edges in Firefox.

Second is to do with users profiles. The text is white and I do not know how to change it to make it readible.

The third it that I have ranks enabled and I have assigned post values corresponding to higher US military rank badges.

However they dont appear even though the path is correct to their location on the server.



Thanks in advance

Bump.

I still have no idea why some of the boxes in users profiles have invisible text.
Google is not really helping me here either.

Anyone have any answers ?

Would be really helping me out. Thanks.

IE does not support rounded corners.

Ah I see.

Thanks for that.

Im still searching through google results.
Is the issue of white text on white background a fairly common one ?

That's going to be somewhere in the CSS I think. You don't have this issue in the default style, I'm assuming.

It is in the default style

All the boxes on the left side are white text on white background.



Cannot find where the CSS / style vars would be to change it.

I have figured out alot in the short time I have been working on vbulletin (new to vbulletin with 4.1.10).

visitor messages are also the same (white on white).

Looks like the text color for both of those are from the template userprofile.css:

.userprof_content {
    background-color: #FAFAFA;
    background-repeat: repeat;
    color: #FFFFFF;
}

the #FFFFFF is making the text white. I would just change userprofile.css, but I've seen other people add new CSS in additional.css, so maybe that's the right way to do it. (I'm not a CSS expert or anything).

Edit: oh...actually it's a style variable called content_text_color, so I guess the correct thing to do is change it from the Style Variable Editor.

Edit again: ...except that content_text_color is likely used somewhere else, which is probably how it got set to white in the first place. In that case I'm not sure of the "correct" way to fix it.

Cool thanks. I will have a crack at it now.


Edited post to help others who may come across this issue.
