I'm trying to alter the menu tab colours, etc, and can't seem to get anything to work on the active item of the top level menus.

What am I missing? I'm trying to change.ipsNavBar_active
 

anyone...?

I use the inspect element to find what the css is then add it to the custom.css. I am using chrome. refox has the same, and if you install firebug with firefox you get more.

and so do I. I might be a bit of an amateur, but I don't have trouble altering the CSS for other elements.

Have you actually tried altering the CSS for the active tab within custom.css? Have a go, and let me now you get on ... and if it works, please do pass on exactly what you did, because I can't find how to alter anything of the active tab.

If you visit my site you will see the red underline for the active tab.

.ipsNavBar_primary > ul > li.ipsNavBar_active > a

That did it for me, assuming that's what you meant.

You beauty, thank you.

I was trying to address (just) .ipsNavBar_active (both with and without the li and a bits) and not succeeding - my amateur status shining thru.

Not a problem at all....now register on my website

lols

er, no, I'm not a gamer ... but I can see you need the new reg's.

There a lot of work in that theme of yours, tho .... I go for the easy option, of making the rest of my site look much like the default IPB install.

 

It's a very customized purchased theme. No worries though, totally understand...... was tongue in cheeck
