Tagging in a post - how to change the tag color?

[Tommy]

I'm playing with a stock theme on a fresh install - I've changed the color scheme to be the stock dark blue from the list (see attachment).



In a post, how would I change the color on a tag link?

When someone is tagged in a post - we would like it a different color

I've tried changing it in the visual editor (see attachment #2) - the links at the bottom of the board change but the tag in the post stays white.



Thanks - I'm a relative noob on this so any help is appreciated.

You can select the user tag link with the class .user-link, but we'll need to preface it with a to increase the specificity of the selector, otherwise it will be overridden by the color of .list a. You won't be able to change this with the Visual Editor, so click the "Style Sheet" tab on that page and scroll to the bottom of the text area. Paste the following:

a.user-link { color: #000; }
Replace #000 with the hexadecimal value or CSS color name of your choice. You can also reference a theme variable like so:

a.user-link { color: @link _color; }
