What it is
The CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the whole codes that are used for improving the appearance of a site. The Style sheets are used to set the web page styles (like the text character or the colorof the links).

What it does
On ForumFree, from the tool Edit colors and styles, it is possible to modify the styles of the board. The tool for editing the CSS was previously used to insert a custom skin, which wasn't among the default ones. Now, to change a custom skin, you can use the same tool Manage board skin.
The function for editing the CSS, however, is now still present to modify the appearance of the forum.
On that matter you can consult the guide to edit styles.

Common errors in editing
They can be various. The tool for editing CSS does not allow the insertion of HTML or JavaScript, since their inclusion may cause unpleasant mistakes.
It is not possible to modify some selectors with certain attributes for various reasons (see the selector .edit, which filters the block of declaration display: none).
Finally, it is useful to remind that the position of each string of CSS code in the box "Edit colors and styles" does not affect the correct working of the code. Therefore the code position is indifferent.

CSS in 'Manage HTML code'
The tool Manage HTML code allows the recall of CSS code, specifically it allows to use it. To use it you need to insert the code between the tag <style> and </style>.
It is recommended that you use this method to add only a few lines code.
