[Not a bug] black asterisiks form placeholder

[pixelpadre]

If this category (bugs) is a place to berate possible bug reporters with abrupt thread closures, I wish you luck finding reporters who will report possible bugs. I know I have learned my lesson to post here again.

Just noticed that the registration page has a "single" asterisk next to country.......which is the way I want it to be.

All the rest have faded asterisks as place holders. Doesnt seem odd that there is a single red asterisk? Bug?

If it walks like a duck......

asterisk? never tells what asterisk says, maybe a password!

Form help what as need and not just asterisks...

The grey placeholder text in the form field is dealt with by the browser default for placeholder text, you override it by adding css to the stylesheet
In most browsers, the appearance of placeholder text is a translucent or light gray color by default.
Some browsers (such as Firefox) set the default opacity of placeholders to something less than 100%.

I meant to say that the registration page has a single RED * for the Country field, and that none of the other field asterisks are red on the registration page.

in your css:

::placeholder {
    color: #FF0000;
}

Have you even tried adding the css as carlwhat suggested?

He did not suggest adding it. He showed a string that I searched for in all of the css files, to adjust the color.

So if he is suggesting that I add this, it would have been more useful if he said so, and also which css file.

please do not put words in my mouth. if you are unclear as to what i (or any poster) is saying, i would suggest asking nicely for some clarification.

i am not sure what your end goal is here: to solve said problem (and perhaps learn something in the process), or to somehow prove yourself right or what. it's your call.

css can be very confusing, and there are other forum members far more versed in it than i. but your issue is not a big issue.

you can either add the code above to a css script that gets loaded on your account page creation, or create a new stylesheet for all of your customizations, as indicated here:

if you do not know how to create a custom stylesheet, perhaps someone else can help you with that.

assuming you can get to the point of understanding a little bit of css, and add the css that i spent some time researching for you, your asterisks would then be red.
