Now that you're in FORUM DISPLAY SETTINGS,
scroll down past
URL TO Header Image, URL to Header, ALT-Text for Header,
Header image border width,URL of your Homepage for link-back,
Text for link-back, URL to background image, BACKGROUND COLOR.
I'm assuming that you're NOT using a background image.
So, instead, you will choose your own background color.
So, here we go......
I would strongly recommend using a simple color.
But, in order to do this, you must input 6 numbers
(which represent the color you're choosing).
On most browsers, you'll probably need to include the # symbol.
So, for example:
in the BACKGROUND COLOR option, try inputting a few numbers.
LET'S TRY changing the color to YELLOW.
So, input the code #FFE5B1.
(of course, at the bottom, click the "SUBMIT" button.
and, WOW, you're entire background is Yellow.
Okay, so you don't like the color.
But it's EASY to change it.
Click the back button on your browser.
VOY FORUMS is the most click-back friendly website on the entire internet.
In other words, you can press the BACK arrow, and it will not corrupt the data (Nor will it require re-log in).
SO, let's try another color.
It's a good idea to learn about all the different numbers.
Here's a few examples:
#FFFFFF is white. Of course, that's too dull.
#EFEFEF is whitish. Just a touch Off-white.
#CCCCCC is grayish.
#AAAAAA is darker gray.
#9D9D9D is a touch darker gray.
#888888 is darker yet.
#555555 is almost black. Probably not desirable.
#000000 is Black. Pitch black.
It's ironic to note that Black can be a nice color for forums.
If you can adjust other features, and the color of links.
------------------------------------------------------
For this,
you might want to use the GENERAL SETTINGS feature.
The reason is because Voy forums has a preset feature,
which creates a nicely prepared
normal text color, link color, visited link color, active link color.
But,
I'm assuming that most people will choose lighter colors.
