Colour Scheme Job Board Theme

I am currently using a test server prior to publishing the new job board theme and I have come across a problem I hope can be resolved before I go live.

Problem 1
When choosing a colour scheme in the Design Page area the Maroon colour scheme I have chosen is not transferring across Internet Explorer. It looks fine in Firefox & Chrome but not IE. I have double checked this with fellow member Richard (https://jobhouseghana.com) and he has the same problem, I wonder if her realises or not?

I have edited the CSS to include !important to no avail.

Problem 2
When placing an advert and inserting an image I find it places a download link below the advert for the image being used in the description. Is there a way to turn this off?

Thank you
