I am using the Dcarter80_style theme. I am having a problem with my forums. The text  for reply, edit, delete, subscribe, etc.. are hidden within the background color.

 

You can see what I mean here:

I am a novice with changing style sheet properties.  Any idea what template or style sheet I can edit to change the text to yellow or red? I would also need the exact syntax to use to accomplish this.

Under the Collaboration System's "Display" tab, you'll need to edit the "Thread Template" (if you're altering a default template, you should make a copy of the template, make the changes there, and then use that template for your CS Threads).  In the "Head Block" section, change the CSS for ".postControls a:link, .postControls a:visited", and even ".postControls a:hover" if you would like.  You can specify "color:black;" or whatever color you would like to use. 

Example:
.postControls a:link, .postControls a:visited
{
 color:black;
}

Good luck.

I made the following changes to "default Thread", but the text still remains blue. Is there another change I need to make?

 

.postControls {
        border-top: 1px solid #cccccc;
        background-color: #676767;
        color:red;
        padding: 3px;
        text-align:right;
    }
    .postControls a:link, .postControls a:visited {
        color:red;
        text-decoration:underline;
    }
    .postControls a:hover {
        text-decoration:none;
        color:red;

it is overruled bu the stylesheet file dcarter80blue.css (line 72):

Copy from firebug:

#contentContainer, #contentContainer a {dcarter80blue.css (line 72) background:transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border-color:#57696F; color:#57696F;
maybe copying the postControl css properties into this file might help
