It depends on the theme you're using, but on most themes the file you need is in your themes/THEME_NAME/forums folder. There should be a file called forums.css.

Find this code:

/* Name of poster in viewmsg.php and viewtopic.php and other places */
.name{ font-size : 11px; color : #000000;}


Change the color to the color you want to use.

Since the name is usually a link to the person's profile, you may also need to adjust this code:

/* General page style */
a:link,a:active,a:visited,a.postlink{color:#CECECE;text-decoration:none}
a:hover{color:#FFFFFF}

Do you have the theme loaded on your site? If so, please leave a Link so I can take a look.

OK, in their themes, the file you should be looking for will be inside of Forum Template/THEMENAME/ and will be named something like THEMENAME.css. THEMENAME stands for the name of the theme. Look for the codes I gave you above.

BUT, as I stated above, the UserID is usually a link to the user's profile, so its appearance is defined by the a{} selector. Changing the color of that selector will change the color of all links in your forums. If you don't want to do that, you might want to create a class specifically for the UserID.
