[Resolved] yet another css issue with Black Pearl:(

[HardStyle]

This is getting monotonous, but we're still trying to sort a few things out. This time it's the font color for posts - specifically when quoting a previous post. When entering a post the font color is #CCC as we want. When someone quotes a previous message, however, the text changes to #0099CC - which is difficult to see and isn't right - it should be #CCC as in a new post.

I just can't find the proper selector to edit. It's not "textarea", and web developer for FF doesn't give a better hint.

Anyone using Black Pearl provide a clue what that font selector is named in the CSS?

I think the best thing would be to go to the designer's website and ask him. He would certainly know more about this style and how to tweak it than we do.

I tried that, Robert. Support there is "hit or miss" at best. They have a few people - not mods, apparently - who occasionally offer advice, but it's typically French smugness. Not a lot of help.

Looks fine here - did you manage to get this resolved?

Nope - I haven't Josh. The text for a new post is proper (#CCC). But if you reply with a quote the text entry still is Blue instead of #CCC.

tried adding color: #CCC; to .quotecontent ?

Yup. Nothing changes - still blue quoted text, blue adding text.

strange.

tested your stylesheet.css and apart from textarea:focus and textarea being different from previewing a quote, I can not reproduce your issue -- the bbcode font colour inserted into the quote is interesting to say the least.

good luck on that one,

the only blue text i can see is when creating a new post...
is that what you are trying to fix?

Sorry, its just all these "quote" "post" "new post" names can be used to describe different areas, and its confusing me

That's one of them, Josh - that blue should be #CCC. Then if you lok at a previous message and hit the "Quote" button to reply, THAT text is blue, and when you type your reply THAT is blue as well.

It confuses me, too:)

Yeah - I agree. I've told my son to limit that from users, but this is the way these kids like to do things. Totally meses us my head and trying to sort things out. Plus this style tosses in some rather strange class names in the CSS.

ok give this a try
add to the bottom of stylesheet.css

Code: Select all

textarea, textarea:hover {
     color: #ccc;
}

Bingo! Josh comes through for me again:)
