I download Pligg a couple days and I am really impressed by it. I have also found a ton of support on these forums. I rarely post when I have a problem and usually find the answers myself. However, I am ripping my hair out trying to do something seemingly simple. Before you bash me for asking a stupid question, I have tried everything and nothing seems to work.

I changed the background color for my sidebars from blue to white. The font color is white and I want to change it to black with a different roll over color. I have searched my CSS and changed every color I can find and nothing has changed. I have been concetrating my efforts around .featurebox and .tlb but nothing seems to be working. What is frustrating me is I have managed to change the color of some text but not all it. I was going into the .tbl files directly (ie: tags and categories) but that didn't help either.

Here are my links:

Thank you and any help would be appreciated. My wife wants me off this stupid computer.

Chuck, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I did change that. If you take a look at my current css it will show it change but not the text.

This is the area I am working around in my css. I have changed every color possible in the .tlb and .featurebox. Any color that was white I made black or some other color. However my text isn't change on the page. It is driving me crazy. I kind of know what to look for but something is just stumping me here.

Code:
.featurebox {

	background:#FFFFFF url('../images/sidebarborder.gif') repeat-x 0 100%;

  color:#000;

	margin:0 0 15px;

	padding:15px 0 10px 10px;

}



.featurebox p {

border:none;

color:#444;

margin:0 0 1em;

}



.featurebox a:hover {

	color:#404040;

	text-decoration:underline;

}



.featurebox li a {


color: #000;


margin-left:-10px;

padding-left:20px;

line-height:2em;

}



li.rmore {



list-style:none;

margin-left:140px;

background:url("../images/more.png") no-repeat 100% 100%;

}



li.rmore a {



text-decoration:none;

font-size:12px;

line-height:2.2em;

}



.featurebox ul {



margin-left:10px;

margin-bottom:10px;

}



.featurebox ul a {



margin-bottom:5px;

}



.tlb {

background: url('../images/sidebarborder-t.gif') no-repeat 0 0;

color: #000;

margin:-15px -10px 0;

padding:3px 10px 5px;

}



.tlb a {
font-weight:700;
color: #000;
font-size:14px;
background-image:none;

}



.tlb strong {

font-weight:700;
color: #000000;

}



.tlb a:hover {

color:#000;

text-decoration:none;

}



.tlb span {

float:right;

margin-top:-3px;

margin-right:0;

}



.tlb2 {



margin:5px 0 0;

padding:0 10px 23.5px;

}



.tlb2 span a {

background:#CCC;

margin-right:8px;

cursor:pointer;

float:left;

display:block;

color:#555;

width:58px;

height:21px;

text-align:center;

padding-top:2px;

}



.tlb2 span.selected a {

background:#467AA9;

width:58px;

height:21px;

cursor:text;

float:left;

display:block;

margin-right:8px;

font-weight:700;

color:#333;

text-align:center;

padding-top:2px;

}

the easiest way for you to learn your css on your template

open your site in any browser save page as what ever then open it in your html editor
to find what css fields are named and if that have all the correct settings with background colors hover colors
you may need to add a new css I don't know who made your template of change the change the image to blue
http://www.armchairgm.net/templates/...arborder-t.gif

is exactly what I did on your as well as my own site when I stated edited the css

graphicsguru, thanks for your input. I'm still playing with things and haven't manage to fit it. I am using the czNet template and have changed everything myself. I will play around with your suggestions and hope to get it. Thanks for your help.

I figured it out. There was a '.featurebox a' buried in the css away from the other code that I didn't see. Thanks again for your help.
