Hi Nightrider, I wonder if you would mind explaining roughly what a few things are in this file and where they show on my pages? Doesn't have to be detailed just a rough idea of what they are 
| Code:

/*
The original Diddle Theme for phpBB version 2.0.12
*/
/* General page style. The scroll bar colours only visible in IE5.5+ */
body {
background-color: #fff9d4;

.bodyline {
border: 1px solid #DE82E7;
}
/* This is the outline round the main forum tables */
.forumline { background-color: #DEAE08; border: 2px #FFFFDD solid; } (I changed this thinking it was the brownish lines that separate each forum but I couldnt see any changes)
/* Main table cell colours and backgrounds */
td.row1 { background-color: #FFFEE6; }
td.row2 { background-color: #FFFDDD; }
td.row3 { background-color: #FFFBCD; }
/*

If it makes it any easier I've done a screen shot and marked what I want to know. The green arrows = where would I look if I wanted to change the colour in these.
The purple arrow is the lines I want to change the colour of - where do I find that?
Thanks

Ok, the image on the first arrow is named folder_locked_big.gif and is assigned to the $images array in your Diddle.cfg file:
| Code:
|
|
$images['forum_locked'] = "$current_template_images/folder_locked_big.gif";
|
Then that array is used in your index.php file to assign it when necessary. To find out where, just search on $images['forum_locked'] in the index.php file...
I assume in the second arrow, you are referring to the background color of the cell. That is assigned to a class in your Diddle.css file:
| Code:
|
|
td.row1 { background-color: #FFFEE6; }
|
So in your index_body.tpl, it sets the class, which is responsible for the background color and other attributes, in the table column code:
I assume that the next three arrows are pointing to the variables, 0, 0, and No posts. These variables are the following that are found in your index_body.tpl file:
| Code:
|
{catrow.forumrow.TOTAL_TOPICS}
{catrow.forumrow.TOTAL_POSTS}
{catrow.forumrow.LAST_POST}
|
And they are assigned in your index.php file
| Code:
|
'TOTAL_TOPICS' => $forum_data[$j]['forum_topics'],
'TOTAL_POSTS' => $forum_data[$j]['forum_posts'],
'LAST_POST' => $last_post,
|
The last arrow pointing to the bottom of the post is determined by the cellspacing assignment for the table in your index_body.tpl file:
| Code:
|
|
<table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0" class="forumline">
|
If you set that to 0, there would be no line separating the columns and rows. Of course if you increase the value, the line would get wider...

LOL I used to try to keep notes, but I found that I spent a lot of time writing and saving them, but I never managed to get back to rereading them. So I probalby used a lot of paper for nothing in college. I probably could have gotten more out of my classes if I had just sat and listened to what the instructor was saying rather than being distracted by keeping up with the notes...

Well you seem to be scraping by ok 
My psychology teacher used to say the average attention span is about 15 mins...but used to lecture us for 2 hours straight...go figure! |

Yeah, that doesn't seem right that he knew that the attention span dropped off so quickly but continued for so long. I had instructors like that too. I think I slept through a lot of those classes. My bed would have been more comfortable...

Is it possible to change the colour of this line? |

I believe that you can adjust the color by changing the forumline color in your Diddle.css file. But that will adjust all the border colors as well...
| Code:
|
|
.forumline { background-color: #DEAE08; border: 2px #DE82E7 solid; }
|
