A few questions

If search could have been used to answer these questions, I apologize. I only know what I am trying to do, not what it takes to do it, so I was unsure of what to search on. Most of these questions concern ways to change looks on my forum. The template is nice, but needs a few tweaks.

In case it is needed, my site is:
http://yunari1.ucoz.com/forum/

1.) While I could figure out how to change colors for site wide text, I have a color conflict in my forum.

-In the Posting

a.) In the subject and desciption fields, it's black on navy blue. Really hard to see what your typing. Hoping to change it to a blueish writing on a black backdrop, or make the backdrop white.

b.) In the message area it's the same navy blue, with a lighter, more readable blue. I desire to change that backdrop to black or have a white backdrop with black writing.

My main problem I guess, is that I do not know what fields to look for in the source code. And without that, I can not plug in the proper colors. I only know a little html. CSS is something I still need to learn.

2.) Window sizing

-In the froum

Unlike here, my message windows there take up only around 1/3 the page. I realize this could be in part due to the poll that shows up on every page at the edge of the page, as well as the site nav. It's my believe that a froum should be more like the format found on here.

a.) Thinking part of my problem was the site nav, as it's close to window area, I have tried to take it from a format of:

------
------
------

to

----- ----- -------
----- ----- -------

While this worked in part, it squeezed it altogether. Spacing things out did not help as it would not have a lot of space. Instead of running across the page, it quickly runs out of space and recreates a lined format. How would I make it so it's close to my member info at the top of the page?

b.) This one is much more simple. I know there is a percentage code to size things, but am unaware of what the text windows are called in the code. If I know this, I could likely plug it into the right spot and make my forum windows simular to the size on this one.

Thanks for your time, and any info you may provide.

LoneMoon, all your problems arise because of poor knowledge of html and css. I'm sorry but UcoZ staff doesn't have time to teach you. Read manuals and I'm sure you'll solve these problems wink

also, once you have read manuals if you'd like you can make your own layouts and stuff... for this I'd recommend Gimp it's completley open source software...

I LOVE UCOZ!! visit my site: http://script-soft.ucoz.de
