ok,

I have figured out how to edit the css and basically create my own forum skins. I found a forum I liked and am currently trying to make mine look like it to learn how to do all of this. But my issue is on the right side of the forums where it shows the # of threads, posts, and posters info. All it shows is like a transparent back ground. I will post 2 links of what mine looks like and what I want it to look like.

Can someone help me to get the alternating row colors and table boxes on the right hand sides?

Thanks you,

Mike

Right, which I have that in my css file and not sure why it will not look like I want it. Here is an eaxample of my css regarding your post.

I am just not sure why it is not taking to the forum I am working on. I have messed with alot of the other stuff and it seems to be taking things properly from the css file.

Thanks again in advance for any help on this.

Mike

I am using the default Forum and just added the css to the skins for the forum. Not sure where to look for doc type or what settings in the host.
