Tip: Encourage your members to add a discussion

[Bernard Lama]

Hi folks,

Probably this tip is very simply but could be effective enough to encourage members to add a discussion quickly. Basically what I'm doing is highlighting the "ADD A DISCUSSION" button  to make it more visible to members. So here we go.....

Instructions:

Simply copy and paste the following code into Advanced CSS. 

Note: If you are looking for a person to customize your site, I'm available for hire. You may want to check my profile or you can directly contact me via my email id [e-mail]

.module_forum .xg_module_foot .left a {
color: #fff!important;
font-weight: bold;

Thanks friend.

[Troy D. Bertrand]

Nice addition to got with my "Read More" button but I may have to pass until I reduce the number of CSS characters in my custom css field...I'm approaching my limit. 

BTW: Your site looks a lot more polished and professional Bernard. I'm interested in a few aspects but will send a private message if I can't figure out who to do it myself.

Regards

TDB

Nice one, Bernard.

[Bernard Lama]

Thank you Alison. I feel a little weird because now-a-days I don't have much time to interact with NC folks.
