Colouring text of seperate category links?

[Simon Lloyd]

Hi all, how do i make the category links (text) a different colour for each category?, i remember i messed up once using html in a category title and the forum had to be restored!, any ideas?

You can use HTML in the title when editing the category in the Admin CP. But using wrong HTML can cause display problems in the Forum Manager which can be corrected using a program like phpmyadmin.

See this thread for something similar, except it is for background images instead of just text:

Jake, i followed those instructions, but it's not what i wanted, my fault as i didn't explain well, i have created forums to "Look" like categories and then have sub forums that folk can post in (i didn't want to make them categories as the divider looked too harsh and all the same colour), anyway it is that particular forum that i want to change things on using this

<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid], array(64,70,74,77,80,83,86,89))">style="background: url(images/gradients/members.png) repeat-x top left;"</if> 

could you tell me where to place it please?

I recommend you post on www.vbulletin.org for help with custom code. I don't have a guide for what you want.
