hi there
i am trying to change the social icons to solid white, and see that the current opacity in style.css is:
#socket .social_bookmarks a{
opacity: 0.3;
}
#socket .social_bookmarks a:hover{
opacity: 0.8;
}
so i added in that snippet to custom.css, and set them both to 1.0 but they are still not showing up as solid white (or any solid color); please advise, thanks :)
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
