While creating Categories and Forums within wpForo, on the bottom right under "Forum Permissions", is an option titled "Forum Color". When I choose an alternative color, it does not reflect in the forum. Is this not enabled or do you need a special customized plugin to get that to work? Or am I looking at the wrong place? Where does this color change in the forum?
Thanks
ok so if I understand correctly, this color option only applies on threaded forums?

only the Threaded Forum "Icons"
but you can change everything via custom CSS
Example here in the wpForo support forum the colors of the categories
custom CSS
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-2:nth-of-type(1) .wpforo-category {
background-color: #ff9900 !important;
}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-1:nth-of-type(2) .wpforo-category {
background-color: #ff4488 !important;
}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-4:nth-of-type(3) .wpforo-category {
background-color: #009900 !important;
}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-1:nth-of-type(4) .wpforo-category {
background-color: #ff1100 !important;
}
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-2:nth-of-type(5) .wpforo-category {
background-color: #331100 !important;
}
