Border for homepage message (phpbb3)

How can I add a border for the homepage message using CSS?

Could you provide a link to your forum please so I can take a further look?

I've just put a homepage message onto my person forum and it already has a border around it and it's one of the default themes so I want to check which theme you are using so I can specify how to add the border you are after

Hi, I'm also using a default phpbb3 theme.

This is my test forum: testdummy.forum.st

Ok, try going into the Admin Panel and going to "Display > Pictures & Colors - Colors". Once in there, go to the CSS tab and paste in the following code.

Code:


.panel {
background-color: #ECF3F7;
color: #536482;
margin-bottom: 4px;
padding: 0 10px;
border:1px solid /*Enter colour code here */;
}


Make sure to replace the whole "/*Enter colour code here*/" with the hex color code like "#FFFFFF" for white.

You can also change the width of the border and the line type by replacing the "1px" for the width size and the "solid" for the line type. For more information on border css check out: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp

Thanks^^!

Btw can you tell me how you know which part of the CSS to modify(ex: ".panel" is the homepage message) because I would like to add more borders for other parts of the forum.

Im guessing Vanilla990 has Google Chrome. If you have google Chrome, you can right click something that you'd like to edit, and click "Inspect Element". On the right side it will display all of the CSS that's related to it

Owh okay, thanks!

Yeah, I use Google Chrome which is really useful for web development due to the right click "Inspect Element" function. I believe you can also do a similar thing in Firefox and also in Internet Explorer by using the Developers Console.
