    Question Need simple CSS help for likes template

    I can't seem to figure out where the display of total likes tallied for a thread between the navbar and the first post when viewing the thread appears is getting the background color setting from. I would like for that bar to use the same background as the Page Background in the main vB CSS.

    For example:
    example.png

    I would like the background to be a seamless yellow/gold color where the 1 heart is showing. Help?

    Guys - you are speaking Greek to me. If anyone can dumb it down a notch and show me what I need to do to get a seemless background color, it would be very much appreciated.

    I should note that I just installed vbSEO and other than changing colors from the ACP, I have not messed with vB's main CSS or templates.

    I added the code to the additional CSS definitions of vB's Main CSS editor, but it did not change anything. I'm assuming that's because the vBSEO CSS is defined later and is overriding it.

    However, it was enough of a clue for me to find the CSS definition for #vbseo-likes in the vbseo_buttons.css file and simply comment out the background: line.

    Now it looks exactly the way I wanted. Thank you so much.
