Another one is that .forum_message_cell should affect this text you see here. But there's a bug where a table return has a background color set to it for some unknown reason. The fix? Use tr[bgcolor] {background-color: #000000; etc...} in your user css to set the color for this element. (Until that and some other bugs gets fixed.) It will reset the styles for any tags containing the bgcolor attribute to those in the curly brackets. Also I've noticed some sloppy redundancy in some of the class names used. (might apply to ID's too) I've seen a couple instances here where the name will end with the tag which the class modifies. Apparently a programmer here doesn't realize that by specifying tag.class in the stylesheet you can control how the same class affects different tags. No need for having .forum_td or .forum_table when the "correct" way is to just put td.forum or table.forum in the style sheet. Also makes things faster when you can then set a style for .forum when the styles apply to the td, table, etc. tags within that class. Somebody needs to review their books on css. heh... Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of potential with this. It just needs some debugging and ironing out.
