This has apparently broken the CSS edits I made to my site to override background colors on Topic Cards. I’m not a coder and don’t understand how I would go about fixing my issue. Can someone here give me some help putting things back to the way they were? > [@Topic Cards](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-cards/296048/87): > > So it appears something has changed with the last round of Discourse updates. Only the very left edge of my topic cards are now respecting this CSS, I’ve been poking around to try and find what will fix it but so far have been unsuccessful. Can anyone else confirm and see if they can track down the needed changes? Resolved… I hope. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/styling-discourse-with-variables-show-tell/376614)._
