Hello guys,
Best wishes for the new year.
Today i upgraded my site with a new theme and i got a couple of issues related to the forum that the developer told me is related to SP. I really hope you can help me to solve the problems.
Link: http://friskyttarna.eu/forum
- If using bold, the text disapears
- The theme added a yellow/orange text hover color that also apply in quotes
- The forum do not utilize the entire widht of the page, and this is the reply i got from Yootheme:
Your solution liews in you cusomising your forums CSS, eg: adding the following to your templates css/style.css or directly in your forums CSS files.
#spMainContainer .spGroupViewSection, #spMainContainer .spForumViewSection, #spMainContainer .spTopicViewSection, #spMainContainer .spTopicListSection, #spMainContainer .spMemberGroupsSection { margin: -5px; }Using Firebug, you will be able to identify all the forum container classes that you can add these margin values too, there are many containers as far as I can see.
Best regards

It looks like what you are seeing is being carried over from the WordPress theme into Simple:Press
If you like the orange hover color in your blog pages then you will need to add something into your Simple:Press theme to remove it. Same for the bold problem too, I imagine.
The 5px margin he is talking about is also coming from your WordPress theme. You can either remove it from the forum page only or remove it from all your WP pages if you want them all to be a bit wider.
Are you running a custom Simple:Press theme now? If not it is recommended you have one created and then you can make changes to it and they won't be lost. See http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/
If already running a custom SP theme I would make sure it's updated to the any of the latest changes. See here for a list: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....n/changes/
I would first look and make sure you like how all the other WP pages apper and if you like everything then your 3 issues could probably be taken care of by adding some resetting values in your SP theme's reset.css file. If you think you may want to change some of the way the WP theme looks I would do that first.

not really sure what you want to do... or what your theme author is smoking... 
the lack of full width, assuming you mean the space outside the white forum background - the solid dark black... its caused because the wp theme is adding 20px of padding at line 30 of the layout.css file
#toolbar, #header, #footer, #content, .mod-box {
background: url("../images/section.png") repeat scroll 50% 50% transparent;
box-shadow: 0 0 30px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) inset;
padding: 20px;
}
this largely drives it, but not completely..
if you are talking about the empty space just inside the forum white background before the black border, well of course, as that is the design element... you can make the change he recommends to see what it looks like, but I wouldnt do it - looks kind of whacky... especially with rounded borders...
so, sorry, can you please elaborate on #3 with what you want to do???
and please elaborate on #1 and #2... do what with bold??? and do you have an example of #2?

Hello guys,
You are correct Mr Papa. I did mean the the space outside the white forum background – the solid dark black. So it´s from my Yootheme. Why do they always try to blame others?
If you check out http://friskyttarna.eu/forum/n.....er/#p32927 there is 3 images showing of the issue with text not being visible when the user formating with bold.
In the forum post below the example above, you see what i did mean with nr2.
Best regards

To be able to help identify the 'bold' problem we would need to be able to see an actual post so that we can take a look with the firebug CSS tools.

This really is a case of your WP theme defining global rules that will effect everything, everywhere, instead of targeting them properly.
The base.css file of your WP theme defines the following rule:
strong {
color: #FFFFFF;
}which means that EVERY piece of text tagged with 'strong' will display in white! Now - maybe you want that to be the case for most of your site but clearly in the forum it is overriding the forum styling. So try adding something like this:
#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent strong {
color: #000000;
}which should change this to black - or change to whatever colour you choose.
