Go to the admin section and choose Edit Your Forum Template. Here you can find all the CSS code which controls how the site looks like. Edit the things you want and save it. That should do it.

Some text sizes are hardcoded. You can only change them by editing the .php files.

I had the same problem, but instead I wanted to make the font bigger. You need to download you BoardIndex.php file from your server (Should be in the "Sources folder) and edit it. (Preferably notepad) But in there there should a certain code. Look for:

<font size="2"><b><a href="$scripturl?board=$row_board[ID_BOARD]">$row_board[name]</a></b>
    <br>$row_board[description]</font>

To find it easier, hold CTRL and press F in notepad and put the beginning part of that code in there and search for it. The part of the code that says "fontsize="2" you want to change to the size you want.

Look in Display.php

I seem to have already removed the size= from the message area, but look for $message and then look in that area for the size="1". I did find one "font size="-1" but since it's not affecting my message body size, I don't think that's the culprit.

I removed all font sizes that were hard-coded with "size= 12px", as that breaks HTML standards (user cannot adjust font size via View, Text Size), but left most of the size="2" (non px ones), which is a relative number and not fixed one and okay to use.

But somewhere in that mess of tables around $message is the font size you need to change.

Good luck, Mad Moya
