Both of those are set with inset styling. The CSS can't change that.

If the admin tools are used to set CSS it'll write it directly in to the HTML, which sets the importance of set style to almost maximum (Only thing higher is if you set !important, which is not recommended). If we do that then some of the CSS on the page can actually be removed, as I haven't done that and used CSS to change it and removed the inline CSS. But it doesn't matter that much and for now can be postponed. But if we use the inset styling tools on the templates then they have to be manually made to look like that. We shouldn't try to overwrite it with CSS as that's a pretty bruteforce and unstable way to do so. As for the secondary table, it's missing some # in front of the colors and the border remains unchanged.

All of that sounded way more messed up than it should have:

If all the templates are editted to make it look right instead of using the site-wide CSS, some of the CSS in the test Wikia is redundant and should be removed from the main Wikia at some point.

Will update more I find.

Edit - excluding Internet Explorer from here on out Dark. I can't see many people using it, except for a younger demographic trying to access the web page at school or something. I think we can all agree on Chrome and Firefox being the priority here when it comes to bug smashing. First error I'd need to know if there's any previous CSS added to the Wikia, since it's not doing that on the test wiki.

second one might be due to having set the bkg image as admin. Although I really like that the image scrolls along with you, having looked at it now, will need to think it over.

Third and fourth are both due to the way the templates are set up. As I tried in a confused stupor to explain above. Once the templates are fixed it should work fine. Although I'm really bad at actual Wikia editting (I usually sit in the actual code of webpages), so for now at least I hope that Link can be our saviour, but if you're having trouble Link I'll try to see if I can fix it with site-wide CSS.

Once I can I'll test it with IE10/11, as long as it works for that then I'm at least satisfied.
