The forum is on full CSS for years now. Please read this document first, it's very important to get your feet wet:

If you're new to CSS and want to learn in an easy way, then get the Webdeveloper extension for Firefox installed. Once you have its toolbar there is a tab "CSS" or thelike (mine is German, thus don't take my translated words literally reading the labels on your screen). The submenu should have an enty such as 'Edit CSS' -> click

That opens a sidebar with all CSS loaded in their hierarchy. Edit in the sidebar and see what you get.

There is another option to "highlight" the CSS path to items while you mouseover. On my version it's to the right with a pencil icon in front and left to "Size" and "Extra/Option". .... then in submenu it's the third item from bottom (checkbox).

Will take a little while but certainly you'll like it once you've learned the basics.

You have multiple forums. Thus do NOT use ANY variable which isn't supported any more. Do NOT use any variable which isn't in the new webbbs_settings.pl file unless you've looked up the variable on variables board and it's stated to be OK.

A lot has changed since 2002
To stay future proof and allow for easy upgrades to future versions it's worth figuring the details as best as possible with the first board you set up (before cloning unsupported stuff to the other forums).
