Hey Guys, I Have A Problem With Our New Forum Theme. When You Are Typing A Post, You Cant See What You Type. I Looked Through The .css files in the bbcode theme folder but could not find that part of the coding. Is there anything Im missing? How would I change the typing color?

It is in there, look for
/* Form elements */
input,textarea, select {
   color : #ffffff;
   font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   background-color : #545454;
   border-color: #222222;
}

/* The text input fields background colour */
input.post, textarea.post, select {
   background-color : #000000;
}


the above example would give you white text ( #ffffff ) and a black background ( #000000 ), change either of those or both to meet your demands.

Ok, I Replaced The Code In The Template Theme Folder and Even In The Forum/Template/Theme Folder But Still No Change. I Also Went Into The Style Management On The Forum Admin Section And Changed The Text Color To FFFFFF And Still No Change. Is The Forums Just Denying My Wanting To Change The Color? I Dont Think They Like Me....

It looks like the theme stylesheet may be overriding the stylesheet for the forum template.

Look in your themes/BEST/style/style.css file. Try adding color: #ffffff; to this:
TEXTAREA   {BORDER-TOP-COLOR: #000000; BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: #000000; BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR: #000000; BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR: #000000; BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 1px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 1px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 1px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 1px}

The sheets are cascading so as you know the first one can not override the next ones. Changing the first css would correct his problem in the forums but would then give him white on white for the entire site. However if he corrects this code that is in "overal_header.tpl" of his template from
/* Form elements */
input,textarea, select {
   color : ;
   font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   border-color : ;
}
to
/* Form elements */
input,textarea, select {
   color : #ffffff;
   font: normal 11px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   background-color : #545454;
   border-color: #222222;
}
then all will be right in the world again icon_biggrin.gif
