First off - Brilliant theme, gives some validity to my WoW Guild 
I do have one issue though - The colors on the forums are often dark blue/dark red, which is unreadable against the background. I've fished around in the Autotheme, and I'm able to change the font colors in the PHPNuke, but not in the PHBB Forums.
Is there a config file I need to modify?
Thanks. |

Forum colors are controlled in themes/wow10/forums/forums.css for the PHPNuke version
and
modules/PNphpBB2/Templates/PNTheme/Styles/wow10.css for the PostNuke version. |

Found the file! Excellent!.....
of course, I'm a complete coding idiot, so I have a few more questions, if anyone can answer.
The font colors I'm looking to change are the New Link and the Visited Links, most notibly the Forum Names and the poster names, and the text inside the profiles.
I can figure out that the text itself is set to black, but I'm just not sure where in the code the text is.
Here's some Screenshots to show you what I'm talking about:
Poster's Page
Profile Page
EDIT: I tried changing lines114 and 115 from #000000 to #FFFFCC-
Code:
/* Location, number of posts, post date etc */
.postdetails { font-size : 10px; color : #FFFFCC; }
That seems like the profile text, but after uploading the modified Forums.css, there was no change.
I also changed lines 111 and 112 from #000000 to #d4af1c
[
Code:
/* Name of poster in viewmsg.php and viewtopic.php and other places */
.name { font-size : 11px; color : #d4af1c;}
And again, no change. Am I doing something wrong? |

Also, while I'm looking at the code, would it mess anything up if I added a line to change the color of forumlink:visited?
Right now it reads:
Code:
/* Forum title: Text and link to the forums used in: index.php */
.forumlink { font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color : #E2BD00; }
a.forumlink { text-decoration: none; color : #E2BD00; }
a.forumlink:hover{ text-decoration: underline; color : rgb(198, 0, 0);; }
If I changed it to:
Code:
/* Forum title: Text and link to the forums used in: index.php */
.forumlink { font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; color : #E2BD00; }
a.forumlink { text-decoration: none; color : #E2BD00; }
a.forumlink:visited { text-decoration: none; color : #d4af1c; }
a.forumlink:hover{ text-decoration: underline; color : rgb(198, 0, 0);; }
Would that throw a wrench in the whole thing? Sorry for all the questions, just trying to hammer out everything. |

You would need to do them like this
Code:
.postdetails a:link, .postdetails a:visited { font-size : 10px; color : #FFFFCC; }
.name a:link, .name a:visited { font-size : 10px; color : #FFFFCC; }
As to the second question, just always make a BACKUP COPY of the file before you edit it, then if your change screws it up, just upload the backup.  |

Well, I changed the code to what you had and I still see no change anywhere on the forums. When I delete the forums.css file and refresh, I lose the background and some of the text size/color, but the text that I want to change remains the same.
I wonder if I've got the wrong lines of code - could it be that there is no lines to change the text that I want changed?
Again, sorry about the annoyance. |

Try this, add the following line to the very bottom of the forums.css
Code:
.row3 .gensmall a:link,.row3 .gensmall a:visited {color:#E2bD00;}

Still nothing 
Its wierd, I'll do something drastic like change the font size from 10px to 20px, and I still see no change in the website, but when I delete the file, the fonts loose their colors and sizes.
The things I've been adding haven't changed the output on the site at all.
I'll work on changing the bg colors to make things more readable. |

Are you forcing a full refresh in your browser?
Try using Control-F5 to force a full refresh after you make a change. |

Still nothing with the full refresh, what about the forums2.css file? Could it be reading that instead?
Edit: Nah, It was a longshot anyway, but nothing when I changed that file. |

Progress - the names changed to the color I specified, but only within the forums themselves, I'm still getting the default name color on the main page. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've looked past the main page.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Here's a link tou our site, hopefully you can see what I mean. http://www.difinalboss.com/Phpnuke/modules.php?name=Forums
Got the names changed on the Main Page - it was
row2 .gensmall a:link,.row2 .gensmall a:visited {color:#E2bD00;}
Hurray for randomly trying different inputs. Now for the text in the profile pages. |

Easy way to find out the class you need to edit is to view source on the pages,
looking at the profile pages I see that some of them are .row1 and some are .explaintitle |
