[Solved] Navigation; & other woes

1. After adding a news/clickables box to the top of my forum, and being happy with it, I have decided the time has come to tackle the CSS. Being used to IF, I find myself wishing it behaved more like it in some respects, but I'm content to work with it. Currently, however, I have the issue that I do not want my navigation bar 'BOARD NAME -> FORUM -> SUBFORUM' etc to go above the news box; in my opinion it isn't of much use there! I've always had it just above the board. The problem comes now that the advertisement is below the navigation, too.

I was wondering if I could move it from where it is here to the equivilent place here?

2. Is there any way to 'divide' the colouring of the main-forums and the post colour? In the example above, (Tiritheas) I would like the forum colour to be brown, but not the post colour.

Thank you for any help!

I think the nav is "<!-- NAV -->" inside your themes "Edit Theme Layout". Put it wherever you want.

Changing post colours:

td.c_username - has the "background" attribute to change the color of the box with the username.
c_postinfo - changes box to right of username.
c_user - add "background:#YOURCOLOR" underneath "font-size:80%" to change the box under the username (with avatar inside).
user_info - changes user info box 1.
user_profile - changes box below that.
c_post - add "background:#YOURCOLOR" to change the main post box.
c_sig - " " to change sig box colour.
tr.c_postfoot td - change "background" to any colour to change the box with the quote/profile buttons in it.

The problem with the nav is that <!--NAV--> belongs in each individual theme; the script for the box belongs in the template. You are right, I could move the script to the Layout, but that would make updating the post potentially very troublesome - I'll just have to weigh up how much I'm going to be editting this thing.

As for the post colours, thank you for identifying them! To now change them, I simply separate them out and make them elements of their own? Such as

c_post {
background:#123456
}

or do I have to edit existing CSS to accomodate for it too? I tried just adding in the equivilent of the above, and nothing happened.

Not sure about the nav issue, sorry.

I forgot to put "." before some of those.

c_post would be .c_post, but there is no "." before the tr/td's.

You can create a new one like:

.c_post {
background:#whatever;
}

as long as it's underneath the one that comes before.

It would be best to Find & Replace the existing ones in the CSS.

Thank you, it works perfectly (: And I'm happy with the navigation location, so that's not an issue anymore. Thank you again!
