!important in CSS just means that that code will overwrite the code in the css file for that specific template.
That is how I made a custom Vbulletin style because of the restrictions of style designing in it.
So I just added in the "extra css board" all the code I wanted, added "!important" after it and it overwrote all the css code before it, so i could do as much as I wanted. It works.

You said you were employing the same technique as you use for vB which you don't need to becuase PunBB doesn't use style blocks.

If you put a style block in the template that will will overrule the stylesheet anyway, you don't need !important. The only reason you needed it in vBulletin is because vB uses stye blocks in the template rather than just having separate stylesheets.

Both values are not the same, as it is overwriting a BASE.CSS css code.

Well it doesnt on my forums. hmm

Then you're either not viewing it in IE, or both values are the same (i.e: { color: red !important; color: red } ).

As a hack you say? What do you mean by that?

Just look at what he said.

IE ignores all values with !important, so with this code, { color: red !important; color: blue }, IE would display blue color while any other browser would display the text in red.

Do you understand now? If you still don't understand, read this:

A common misconception is that IE6 (and earlier) does not pay attention to !important rules in CSS. The truth is that this is true only part of the time. (Theoretically IE7 should get it right, and I really hope it does, but who knows any more... someone care to test?)

For those that need a quick refresher, what the !important declaration does is increase the specificity of the rule to a level above that even of inline styles and more specific selectors, or those that come later in the stylesheet.

{color: red !important;
color: blue}

IE would get blue and firefox etc would get red.

All admin pages have a wrapper with the id #punadmin. If you use the id as a prefix to all your style declarions then they will only apply to the admin pages.

And why bother with !important, a style block in the tpl file will take precedence over the stylesheet anyway.

Also, if you use !important in a css style for something then you can overwrite some settings that are default. For example, I have on my css code

h2 {
margin-top: 15px !important;
}

Smartys, could you not put the CSS code on the .tpl file and add !important at the end of each css line?
I think that should work.

Why? So IE may ignore it?

I am new to PunBB and was wondering how I can change the style sheet for the admin interface???
Or is there a tutorial somewhere?

Thanks!
