Problem with navbits

[regulation-x]

Here is an animated picture of my problem.



I want to remove the silver and gray around my navbits when I click anywhere on the forums, except the homepage.

I dont know what was happening when this happened, there are 3 admins coding. I just need a quick fix, thanks.

Definitely a style customization. Maybe this class:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Main CSS (in the menu) -> Navbar Text

Or one of these:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Main CSS (in the menu) -> First Alternating Color

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Main CSS (in the menu) -> Second Alternating Color

Or this template:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates -> navbar

Otherwise try some general troubleshooting. Try to reproduce it on a default style:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [Add New Style]

Create a new style with no parent. Then click that style's name in the Style Manager to view your forum with that style. If the problem goes away on the default style then you know it's a style problem at which point you need to systematically revert your custom templates to isolate the problem.

Its not in any of the ones you gave me, i searched everywhere in navbar. I even searched the entire template for the colors used, but none were found. The colors are never even used in the style. And I have a few other skins, none have that problem.

And how would I isolate certain templates of the style?

Btw thanks for the quick response.

It's probably the navbar template, but to find out for sure, do this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code.

You asked about isolating certain templates. I was trying to point out how to find the particular template with the problem. Then you could revert it if need be. (Although, as I said, I'm pretty sure that is just the navbar template.)

I'm sure the colors aren't in the template. They will be a class used. Get firebug, an addon for firefox, and you can easily see what is going on with the classes and colors there.

How do i figure out what class it is, and how to remove/edit that class once i find out which 1 it is?

[Lynne]

It will say the class in the source code.... or the template - something like - <td class="thisclass" ..... Or, as I said, you use firebug and it figures it out for you when you Inspect Element.

[regulation-x]

Ok, i did it and it shows <td class="alt1" width="100%">

[Lynne]

Which is the First Alternating Color and you said you checked that. I'm not sure what else to suggest without being able to see the source code.

[regulation-x]

I did check alt1. Nothing seems wrong with it



Since alt1 is the problem, and i cant see it, where else can I look for it?

[regulation-x]

its not alt1 =/.

i just reverted the group. the 2 colors just turned white and black instead of gray and silver.

what else can this problem be?

[regulation-x]

bump, i really need this fixed, its annoying me and my users.

Why don't you post a link to the site so we can actually see what is happening.

The forumhome is fine, it doesnt show it. But once you click a thread or another subforum, the navbits turns like that.
