What it does CSS styles can be loaded two ways: First with a style.css file Second embedded into the web page with the style tag, accessed through your database. <style type="text/css"> </style> Running your css style with option one, using a style.css file is a better way to load your style because your pages load faster. This is because a file can be cached in the browser and the information does not need to be retrieved from your database. To enable a style.css file you must create a style.css file but first you must make the forum css folder writable. Making the file writable You need to make the following folder extensions/awc/forums/skins/css writable. This is done the same way you made your wiki /config/ folder writable during your Mediawiki install. You can do this two ways, FTP-Client or SSH to your server. With a FTP-Client you have to set the folder permissions to 755 SSH Terminal name@machine:/$ cd /path/to/wiki/extensions/awc/forums/skins/ name@machine:/$ chmod a+w css After you made the file writable navigate to: Forum >> Admin >> CSS - Theme and then click "Save as .css file". Updating the css file If you create a .css file you have to remember that whenever you make any edits/changes to your css style you must re-save the file once your done. All changes you make to your css style are saved to the data-base, but those change need to be written to the .css file after each edit.

[edit] Editing

When ever you edit, search, add or "save as..." you should be on what ever css style you have selected to be your default style.

[edit] Adding New

   Period's (.) are used for CLASS calls, and Pound Signs (#) are used for ID calls.

6. Submit your new addition
7. Save your css file (if you are running file base and not embedded)
