    @jac Yes, you’d target that with custom CSS as below

    .navbar-default {
        background-color: #194F90;
    }
    

    Fantastic, I’ll try this later 😁.

    Many thanks 👍🏻.

    I’m glad to say this change has worked 🙂

    @jac not in front of a pc currently, but will get this to you later. In the meantime, You can always right click the element you’re interested in changing then left click inspect.

    Make sure the elements tab is selected at the bottom of the screen and you’ll be able to see the underlying css on the right (depending where you’re developer console is docked in your browser). The css object you want to change to will be colour: #ffffff;

    Thanks Mark, I’ll have a crack at this later on once back from work, although if it can be done on mobile I’m happy to try that also.

    @jac Just took a look at your site. Here’s what you’ll need

    .navbar-default .navbar-brand, .navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a {
        color: #ffffff;
    }
    

    That in turn will show

    @phenomlab Thanks very much, just applied the code. 😁.

    @phenomlab I notice that in mobile view the above change only changes the forum heading to white, but leaves the icons in grey (is there any fix for this?).

    Meanwhile on desktop it changes everything to white (as I wanted), but hovering over the icons it turns them to grey, is there any way to change this so they change to #FFC557?

    Many thanks as always 🙂 .

    @phenomlab I do have a few changes I have in mind to be made, but am aware of posting them all at once ;).

    Yes, it’s probably being overridden with another class that is a closer match. Try this

    @media screen (min-width: 767px) { 
     .navbar-default .navbar-brand, .navbar-default .navbar-nav>li>a { 
    color: #ffffff; }
     }

    You can post them all at once, no issues. You might want to create screenshots and identify the areas that you’d like changed. I have your site URL so it won’t be too tough to accomplish

    @jac Yep. Go into the ACP->Widgets, and you’ll see it under the footer in “Global”

    See the “x” on the global footer HTML widget ? Delete that, and confirm, then it’ll disappear.

    Has the mobile view nav font changed to white? Would you mind checking, using two browsers one is definitely grey and one looks a little lighter but it’s hard to tell.

    @jac No, it hasn’t. You’ll need this

    .navbar-default .navbar-toggle {
        color: #ffffff;
    }

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.

I’m on annual leave from work offer the coming 2 weeks so hopefully will have a bit more time then. Not a problem Mark, I don’t wish for you to use all your spare time doing that, just do it when you can, no issues I know you’re busy doing other things but when you get a chance mate I’m happy for this to go ahead along with the RSS script.
