    @jac Yes, you’ll get that message if the CSS is incomplete. For example, if you’ve missed a semi colon at the end. Can you paste all of your CSS here for review ?

    Sure,

    blockquote {
        font-size: inherit;
        border-left: 5px solid #eee;
        background: #eeeeee;
        border-radius: 4px;
        margin: 0 auto 40px;
        padding: 15px;
        position: relative;
    }
    blockquote:after {
        border-right: 20px solid transparent;
        border-top: 20px solid #eee;
        bottom: -20px;
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        left: 20px;
    {
    

    That’s what I’ve used mate.

    @jac That last block should be

    blockquote:after {
        border-right: 20px solid transparent;
        border-top: 20px solid #eee;
        bottom: -20px;
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        left: 20px;
    }
    

    The curly brace should be the other way round.

    Thanks very much Mark! That has fixed the issue!

    Is there any way to change the font on the quote to white with a blue background at all?

    Many thanks as always for the free help and advice!

    @jac Not sure which type of blue you want, but you could do it with this

    .topic .posts .content blockquote {
        font-size: 12px;
        color: #ffffff;
    }
    
    blockquote {
        font-size: inherit;
        border-left: 5px solid #194F90;
        background: #194F90;
        border-radius: 4px;
        margin: 0 auto 40px;
        padding: 15px;
        position: relative;
    }
    blockquote:after {
        border-right: 20px solid transparent;
        border-top: 20px solid #194F90;
        bottom: -20px;
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        left: 20px;
    }
    

    Essentially, you’d be modifying the previous block I provided, and forcing white on .topic .posts .content blockquote

    Essentially, you’ll land up with this

    I’ll have to have a look, I remember yes. Looks great, although I’m mindful of copying.

    @jac No issues. It’s really just a font 🤷♂
    Thanks for providing the screenshots. This is useful. I’ll get to this ASAP.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored.

    @riekmedia I’ve applied some new CSS to your site. Can you reload the page and try again ? For the record, this is what I added #footer { background: #2d343e; border-top: 4px solid #2d343e; font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 70px; padding: 80px 0 0; position: relative; clear: both; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; z-index: 1000; margin-left: -15px; margin-right: -338px; } The /categories page seems a bit messed up, so looking at that currently EDIT - issued some override CSS in the CATEGORIES widget <!--- CSS fix for overspill on /categories page - DO NOT DELETE --> <style> #footer { margin-right: -45px; } </style> That should resolve the /categories issue.
