Unwanted Changes - Very Frustrated
« on: September 06, 2020, 02:27:44 am »
For many months I have been trying to learn and understand how to customize my boards.  Previously, I spent years developing a forums website, spending a great deal of time customizing it to match my other official websites for this statewide project I've been developing.  Then, new owners came in and completely wiped out all of my work.  That was Tap-a-Talk.  I dumped them, and found my way here.  So far I've been satisfied, yet hesitant to put too much time into the development process because of past experiences.

Today, I paid for my third forum website to be ad-free.

Also, I just tried a couple different holiday styles after saving my current developed style.  When I tried to come back to my original saved style, certain customization's did not change back to my saved style.  Now, I have to go back in and redo some customization that I had already established.  I really do not have time to waste going back and repeating my work.


Will there ever be a time where I can completely save different styles to use different times of the year?!  And, not have to go in and repeat certain edits?!


Understanding all the different ways of customization takes a great deal of time and effort.

Something I have spent a great deal of time is trying to figure out how to change the color of the home page list of forums... And, the color of the font of the user posting a topic.

For styles you have option to export them I believe or you can copy the css to a text file to save.

There are really three parts to each style:
CSS - which is main layout.

Customize Images -> Images are global for all styles and  separate from css
Headers/footers -> Again this is global for all styles and  separate from css


The font of the poster is controlled by this css selector code .poster h4, .poster h4 a
You can find out what codes go were with firebug on firefor or browser inspector on chrome
