Looks like a css issue. Look at the page source and track down the tags where the text has the "highlight". Look for something in the tag that says id= or class=. Now goo into the stylesheet for background-color near the name of the class you found in the page's source code.

If you post the link to your site, someone might be able to help a little better.

But for now, let me see if I can clarify....

Open your website in your browser and navigate to your forum.

Make a not of one of your forum topics.

On a blank part of your page, right-click and select view source.

Search the source code for the forum topic you made a note of.

Look around the forum topic you found for something that looks like this =>> class="even" (the value in " " may be different).

Now look for a file with a .css extension in the CBB module folder.

If you find one there, search for the value you found inside the " " in your source code.

If you find the value, look for background-color:. Change the value to a color that looks better (in your case, black or #000000).

If you don't find a .css file in the CBB module folder, go to your theme folder and repeat the above steps with style.css.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, that's about as clear as I can be. If you post the link to your forum, maybe I can tell you exactly what code needs chagned in exactly which file.

Best Regards,

Re: Ugly Forums

I used photoshop to find the color number of that green, and changed it in the CSS to the bg, I guess thats what jmorris said but I REALLY didn't get what he was saying.
