You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Jon, I'm not sure if it's the same blank space the perkins is talking about, but the space between the end of a post and the dividing rule below it has gone from around 20px to about 30px. And if you look at omnis's post above, it's about 40px. (I'm looking at www.buffistas.net for comparison.)

I think I've divined most of the stuff in the CSS code, except -- what does "calloutbox" refer to? I keep changing the font size, but then when I look at what I've done, nothing seems to have a changed size.

calloutbox refers to the yellow boxes on the left.

Oh, duh. That makes sense. Thanks!

One last question: what's the identifier for the text that we type in the post box? That's the last thing that I can't seem to make bigger.

So if I put font-family: times new roman; in my custom css box, all the font will show as Times New Roman?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Literalist, here.

Everything looks groovy and just as it should, except for font size. I've been reading about the css, even clicked over to the page with the css stuff on it, and honestly, I can't tell what I'm supposed to do. Sorry.

Everything is great with being where it's supposed to be, so, huge and grateful thanks to ita and Jon and DX and anybody else who worked on that. What I've been doing until I figure out how to change things permanently is changing text size in "View" (Firefox) for message center, to get it large enough to read, then changing it back in-thread to get it un-bolded.

If someone can give me step by step to change font size *either* in message center *or* in-thread, that would be all I'd need. And sorry for the dim.

It should be .formpost when you're typing a new post, and .editpost if you're editing an existing post.

I haven't tested this, but

body {
  font-family: "Times New Roman";
}

should do the trick.

I see that in the default CSS, but it doesn't have a "font size = whatever" line where I can change the font size (I've been bumping everything up by ~10%, and it works great for my horrible eyesight). Can I just put that in a line that says "Font size = 90%", or will that make the Internet explode?
