Sorry if my questions do not make sense, I am new with Mambo, but I understand how to install it, but how can you apply different colors, CSS, it to it.  Do I just apply it on that table in my template or can I edit the files for the component.

I noticed you have modified the style on your Login for SMF on the home page, which file can I edit to do this?

by the way, its at http://www.americansdebate.com and click the Join the Debate button for the forum.

I use 3 different Mambo templates, one for the home page, another for the rest of them, and an extra one for the forum, but whenever a user logs into the forum from the forums home page, it rediercts them back to the template for every single other page, if they login from the home page of mambo and then click the link to go to the forum, then it is fine.  Also, is it better to use mambo or SMFs registration and login?  Thank You in advance.
