Good day guys and girls,

I'm struggling now for 2 days and can't seem to find the right template so I can edit it.

Please go to this link: http://hetcomputerforum.nl/Thread-cffc

On the bottom of this page there are two "a:links" these are: "afdrukversie weergeven" and "op topic abbonneren".
These are in red and I want them in white color. I want to add <font color="white> TEXT</font> to the right template. But I can't FIND the template!!

Can somebody give me the right names of the two templates I need to edit?

Thanks very much for taking the time to answer me!
you can add style property like below in global.css of the theme
.thread_tools li a{color: white;}
stylesheet of the theme should be edited through forum admin panel (themes section)
you can edit global.css in advanced mode (tab) and add the code at the bottom

after saving the stylesheet hard refresh your browser (eg. press CTRL + F5) on a topic page to see changes
Edit: Answer above.
Thanks very much for the reply, but, that gives me always big problems, please look again at the link: http://hetcomputerforum.nl/Thread-cffc This is what always happen, the color will not change but there are a few extra icons! (To revert this i need to restore my two showthread.css to solve the problem but then I am back to the old situation.

Is it possible to give the two templates? when I put in the font code I think it should work
do not re-install your forum - that is unnecessary!

showthread template of the theme contains code for above required links.
code begins with <ul class="thread_tools"> (near bottom of the template)

note: suggestion was to add new property - at the bottom of global.css
(not to adjust existing style property)

Already restored database. Thanks.
I think I managed it now (you managed it btw Smile

I find it VERY difficult with the programming in global.css.
I read a lot of posts of people that say; Just use firebug or element inspection and you can find the right template, but in this case I can not find it.
Is it possible that this template is hidden or that it is unpossible to find this template with "element inspection"?
those two links exist on showthread template.
when we inspect through firebug, the template name is near the top of firebug's html pane

suggested style property can be added to showthread.css of the theme
actually thread related styles are defined through showthread.css

whenever you have to edit stylesheet
remember to edit stylesheet in advanced mode & add suggested code at the bottom
Thanks for your information and time

Very appreciated!
Excuse me,

I'm having (again) a hardtime trying to find out what the template name is.
I have attached a print screen.

Can somebody give me the name of the template? (I highlighted the element what I'm looking for)

In this way I want to find where everybody is looking at when they need to find out what the right template is.
Also checked out what member .m. said about the last template I was looking for but I can't find it.

Thanks again!!
