Forum:Trouble with comment colors

I am currently attempting to assign myself a special background color for my comments on my wiki, but cant seem to get it to work. The code I am using looks like this:

.comments li[data-user="Utter_solitude"] blockquote:after { border-color: transparent black black transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Utter_solitude"] blockquote div { background: transparent #DBB8FF !important; } .comments li[data-user="Utter_solitude"] blockquote {color:#000 !important;}

.comments li[data-user="Utter_solitude"] blockquote {border: 1.5px solid #000 !important;}

I assume I'm missing something, or have done something wrong lol. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction :) Utter solitude 01:53, May 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'd just copy existing code from here

Did that. My code now looks like this:

.comments li[data-user="Utter_solitude"] blockquote { background: #DBB8FF !important; } .comments li[data-user="Utter_solitude"] blockquote:after { border-color: transparent #DBB8FF #DBB8FF transparent !important; } .comments li[data-user="Utter_solitude"] blockquote div { background: transparent !important; }

Still no change. Utter solitude 02:13, May 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * I think you should clear your cache first after saving.

I did. My code is correct, then? I don't understand what the issue is. Utter solitude 10:00, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
