I don't want to create a lot of duplicate threads but I've looked through a lof of pages in this thread and found nothing. My problem is when im putting in the color codes I get from a linked website or from my Photoshop Web Colors it doesn't change anything on my Page at all. Is there some sort of reason I can't change the color layout of my page? Am I doing something wrong like making bad color concord? Or is there just a certain reason it won't work? But serously I have been trying to change the color of my user page for about 2 days now. I would greatly appreciate any reply. Cancel

Are you typing in the hex values for the colors? I haven't actually changed it myself on MT, so I don't know what it uses, but I assume it's like normal web pages. Cancel

Actually everything seems to be working fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe you should try uploading the same thing over again. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_colors.asp The place that taught me a lot about HTML coding. I'm sure you already know this before. And typing as #?????? actually works. Don't forget to put the # before each code, got it? And if it isn't viewable, look at IE instead of Firefox. Reset the cache for Firefox and click "Reload" over again. Hope that helps. Cancel

Plus when I write the codes if I don't add # it won't direct me back to my page. I use IE to browse the web and what is the cache? Maybe that is what im doing wrong, not getting rid of the cache. What is it??? If you help me and I figure it out I will appreciate it alot. Cancel

Wow - what a coincidence - I come back after MT was down and I come across this. O_o - I have little ample time - but I'll see what I can do for you.

I was assuming it would be the cache because you weren't able to see your own website and somewhat. Can you print off your screen here and PM me - I will tell you what may be the problem with my own two eyes. I've made many skins before - so I know the drill. Thanks. Cancel

Ok, if I can figure out exactly how to copy my page and send it to you. I can just print my page and scan it but I don't have a scanner. Anyways when you say " If you don't imput a color like #??????, it should be ok. I put in color codes like #0000cc or #000000 for black, and when I hit apply and preview it doesn't change my page at all. Is there certain color Codes I can and can't use or is there just something wrong with hot I put them in? Cancel

No - they do work perfectly fine - but your userpage hasn't changed at all... hm.... The codes you are using are indeed correct - I was thinking visually it may be the problem... I'll look into it further. In the meanwhile, printing off the screen? I didn't necessarily mean you had to use a scanner for it @_@ - see that button "Print Screen" right next to the F12 key - from the F key functions. Click that and send it to Imagehost or Imageshack - show me the direct codes - and hopefully there can be a fixable solution there. I'm not sure what colors you wanted your webpage to turn out to be - seems hard to tell by the looks of it. - See the black on my background - it was once pink before - See, it works fine now. Try it again? @_@ Cancel

I pressed on it but nothing shows up, when I constantly press on it my CP goes into standby mode. It's the prt scm button but nothing is happening. Is there another way? Cancel

Ok, I've done it... Not customize my page but im getting closer. Here is a link to what I did for my color codes... Im such a Noob I don't even know how to make a Link, sorry to be a burden but can you copy these Links and Paste them in the Internet Adress... Thanks alot. It should bring you to my Upload site and show you the images. First I input the codes then I press preview but nothing ever shows up. "http://venus.walagata.com/w/kidrpg/Somethin.JPG" and "http://venus.walagata.com/w/kidrpg/untitled_something.JPG" And this is what it keeps bringing me to, a default page with nothing changed at all.

Try replacing your background with this "#E6E6FA" Also - these sections won't work - so probably remove them out - Here, make these sections blank and I'll check it over in 10 minutes, k? Just a test. http://s05.imagehost.org/0500/AvalonImage.jpg Cancel

Okay - you used IE right? Nothing is out of the picture here - so maybe it's probably better to download Firefox and upload it from there. You have Firefox, right? It can be found on the partner's link and they can help you out there. But to tell you the truth - there doesn't seem to be any problem with your codes whatsoever. Everything looks fine. Here - suggestion - try clicking to Default Skin on the Customize Userpage Layout - and copy and paste your CCS codes on notepad. When all the data resets, try it again once more - this time it should work. If not - then it will have to take some time getting it fixed - the site is on a new server, you know - so I guess the problem does not lie with what you are doing. Sorry if I can't help any more - I will still try what I can. Good luck. Cancel
