"Curly Red" & "Curly Red on Black" templates not working???

Hi, I was trying to use the Curly Red on Black template for a new listing (I actually tried to apply it to an existing listing too). In the "Modify Layout" the section titles - Payment, Shipping, About Us etc - appear in a red-coloured text, which is what I want. Sections are in white text. BUT when I actually create or modify a listing, EVERYTHING appears in white text in "Curly Red on Black". Ie it seems to be ignoring its own code and doesn't actually look like the preview...??

Also with Curly Red on Black, it doesn't matter if you change the font style or colour in the item description - it ignores everything - and just puts white text in the template's default font. I changed text in my description to bright orange Comic Sans (awful I know but I was testing!!) and it still came up white, in the default serifed font.

I then tried the "Curly Red" template, which is on a white background. This fixed the problem of the colours - the sections appear in the red colour, and changes to the item description text do show up as the correct colours BUT you still can't change the font style. Eg I have all my listing text (and my Seller Details) specifically set to Verdana, but the Curly Red templates just ignore all that.

I was thinking of trying to cheat and set the Curly Red template background to black via customising it - hopefully that will preserve font colours - but it still doesn't fix font styles. (I do want the black background but the white template is less dodgy than the black one at the moment!)

I am pretty much a luddite at HTML and I am amazed I've worked out as much as I already have, but it's still relatively little Smile

Anyone else experienced this or have any ideas?? Auctiva Support? I know it's a free template but I still have this expectation it should do what it says it's supposed to Smile (sorry).

I also wanted to find out how to stop 'wrapping' the Seller Details text as it seems to go in a single long block just down the left of the listing, even after the pictures finish. On the template I've been using to date (Black Reflection), the text automatically stretches to the right hand side after the pictures finish...but if I can work out the font colours and styles that'll be a start Smile


Thanks in advance!
