hover on author field

Hi,

Using the origami theme I managed to alter the menu behavior and the links to messages and so on.
using custom ccs for .author a I had no problem removing the default underline from the author field in te reactions. Whatever I try for some reason I can’t let this filed respond on hover. I thought

.author a:hover {color #....;} 
should do the trick but nothing happens.

    Thank you for your reply. I tried that but for some reason even [bold]!important[/bold] won’t do the trick

    :( lost !

    I haven’t been able to spot where, but the issue is coming from the rest of your custom CSS. If you clear all the other CSS you’ve added and only add the CSS that James suggested, it works perfectly.

    You could try paste all your custom CSS in a separate text editor, remove it all from your custom CSS editor, then repaste it one rule at a time until you can figure out what’s causing the issue.

    I gave it a go and removed the custom CSS,
    Only things left were the author fields……no effect

    BUT

    I found a solution. For the comment author links to work as expected you must be very precise in addressing your tag. In this case you have to use:

    .comment-container .info .author a ....
    and
    .comment-container .info .author a:hover ...
    

    no need for !important and now it works

    problem solved
