Title: Trying to get a dark theme to work with Simple Portal (zero coding experience)
Post by: shadowandlight on July 10, 2014, 03:33:43 PM

Here is what the front page looks like

The white only appears in simple portal, the theme renders correctly everywhere else.

I've tried a few "darker" themes and they all have the same issue

any ideas?

Clearly, there is an Incompatability here.  Can you provide a link to a URL using this theme WITHOut  the problem showing up, and one to a forum with simpleportal and this theme problem?

It will take looking at the html and css to find the source of the problem.

looks like an a:link problem in CSS
would need to see site to see code, as AngelinaBelle suggests

That's the Prince of Darkness theme you have there. I have just tested it and there doesn't seem to be any incompatibilities between the that particular theme and SimplePortal.

I haven't seen any reports suggesting issues with any other dark theme as well.

It clearly is related to a custom code you have there. As was said above, it's pretty difficult to identify without seeing the code.

Feel free to send me a personal message with the URL to your site so I can have a look at it for you.

Apologies for my late response

the URL is www.eveservers.info

I am not sure what "custom" code I added to SMF, other then these mods

Using the theme DarkModern results in the following

However the theme looks fine else where?

Simple Portal is fine, the Forum is fine ...just the home page (portal) shows the issues

As expected it is CSS

Code: [Select]

  a:link,a:visited {
   color: Navy;
   [b]background-color: White;[/b]
   text-decoration: none;
   target-new: none;
  }
  a:hover {
   color: #0000FF;
   background-color: #FFFFC0;
   text-decoration: underline;
   target-new: tab;
where that is coming from? I dunno
you are aware your pulling styles from another server?
