Yes, but can SOMEONE tell me which piece of this controls (a) the font for the box you are typing in (and if it's a simple % change or something else) and (b) which controls the size of quoted items in a thread. The whole "childrearing thread" thing in bureau confused me for the longest time because I'm seeing quote font as tiny font. It's incredibly annoying (and my eyesight, unfortunately, is noticeably deteriorating in a way that reminds me of my age in a way I really don't like).

(b) which controls the size of quoted items in a thread.
cite, dfn {
margin: 2px 4em 2px 4em;
font-style: normal;
display: block;
}
cite {
font-family: monospace;
I believe.

Trust my rage
so, do I just stick that at the end or does it have to go somewhere specific?

Hey. New board.
Yeah, you'll want to do:
cite {
font-size: 120%;
}
Or some such. I think it must have something to do with whatever monospace font it's defaulting to in your browser (maybe it used to default to a specific font like Courier, first?)

I don't think it matters where you put it. Anything you put into your personal CSS simply overwrites the default CSS, wherever it is. All you need to put into the box is stuff you want to change.

Hey. New board.
As for the font in the posting box:
textarea {
font-size: 120%;
}
(playing with the numbers, again) should give you changes.
It's funny that we use the <cite> tag for the quotes - not one I've seen used often.

It worked. Thanks, P-C! That is super cool.

That worked gris (120 was a bit large, but I put it at 100). I'm watching it work now! Isn't technology fun?

Excellent - and the cite change worked too. Thanks!
Also, thanks DX for reminding me of Trebuchet font.
