 * Apologies if this was answered somewhere already. I searched the forum and didn’t
   find the answer.
 * I’m trying to change the color of the INPUT fields for the edit profile. They
   are currently ligth with light writing. I want the to be dark. I managed to change
   the forum and post backgrounds, but I can’t figure out where to change the background
   for input fields for the profile field.
 * Thanks!

 * I tried adding the following to custom css and it didn’t work
 * input[type=text], textarea {
    background-color: #4B4240; } input[type=email] {
   background-color: #4B4240; } input, select, textarea{ background-color: #4B4240;}
   textarea:focus, input:focus { background-color: #4B4240; }

 * untested, but try
 *     ```
       input[type=text], textarea {
       background-color: #4B4240 !important;
       }
       input[type=email] {
       background-color: #4B4240 !important;
       }
       input, select, textarea{
       background-color: #4B4240 !important;
       }
       textarea:focus, input:focus {
       background-color: #4B4240 !important;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks for the fast reply! That fixed the input boxes. I guess I should have 
   known that it was !important. sigh
 * Could you also help with the reminder help text? Where is that change. Here’s
   what I mean (the white areas)

 * Also- The topic_index_styling button lets me change the color and background 
   color — but where to I change the “(+2 hidden) and (poster, how long ago) text?
   It’s grey and hard to see.
 * And finally – do you have a plugin (or know where i can add) custom user tags?
   I want my posters to be able to use [card][/card] and have it add the code <div
   class=”card”></div>
