Topic: [Solved] Background color problem- driving me insane! Got ideas?

If you go here:

http://www.deafcentral.net/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4

You'll see the forum/site integration I've been working on. Not much to see there since the site is still in its infancy.

That address should have taken you to the test post. Examine the post. Look at the left side of the post. Below this section:

You'll see the background of dark grey suddenly breaks to a lighter shade of grey, then resumes when it hits the 'Offline' row. There's no mods. The only modifications I made was to the CSS files, and that was mainly to change the colors. The CSSes I'm using are based on the Kontrast style.

Here's the links to the CSS code the site uses:

http://www.deafcentral.net/forums/style/Oxygen.css
http://www.deafcentral.net/forums/style … ast_cs.css

BTW, Oxygen.css is just Kontrast.css renamed to Oxygen.css. The reason for this is because I could not figure out how to set the default style for visitors who're not logged in. I deleted all the other styles because I'm pretty much only allowing one style for use with the forums, mainly to make sure it meshes with the rest of the site.

Anyway, any ideas on why the dark grey background in left side of post breaks to light grey, then back to dark grey? Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions/input, and also for your time.

Regards,
Don Cullen

Take a look at section 2.1 in your colour scheme stylesheet, the Oxygen default looks like this

/* 2.1 This is the setup for posts. */

DIV.blockpost DIV.box, DIV.postright, DIV.postfootright {BACKGROUND-COLOR: #DEDFDF}
DIV.postright, DIV.postfootright {BORDER-LEFT-COLOR: #f1f1f1}
DIV.postleft, DIV.postfootleft, DIV.blockpost LABEL {BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F1F1F1}

The first line is the right hand column. The 2nd and 3rd lines are the left hand column and must have the same color setting as each other.

Thanks for the reply. I had the same issue and this fixed it for me. Appreciate your help.
