Help.

I was a long time UBB 6.x.x user. I upgraded to 7.5.8. I am evidnely not very good with CSS. How to do make the text in my post/replies larger?



Thanks. -- Hal

Edit the style in the Control Panel, adjust the value of the ".post-content" class under "Post Properties", it'll have to be CSS, you'd be looking at the "font-size" notation.

Looked there already. Can't find it. Do I have to add it????

Here what I have

To expand on Gizmo's reply --



The default size of the post-content is determined by by the font-size specified within the "body" CSS

The default "body" css is:

The default "post-content" CSS is:

...

If you want to increase the default size of your site's fonts, update "body" CSS to:


If just you want to make the default size of your "post-content" fonts, update it's CSS to:


On a side note, "font-size: 10pt;" is equal to about "font-size: 13px;"

Fonts used for electronic displays (computer monitors/screens/smartphones/tablets) should really only be using "px"
Font sizes used in print (magazines/newspapers/printed text) are generally declared by the use of "pt"


SIDE NOTES:
1) UBBT Uses "pt", "px", and "em" with percentages, all throughout it's default CSS styles and templates and code. This should be cleaned up and unified to become consistent proper CSS usage within UBBT.
2) Also, by W3C standards (CSS3), the use of font-sizes should really only be declared within CSS. As of UBBT 7.5.8, there are several inline declarations outside of the CSS style sheets.

That helped. Thanks. Yes there is some confusion between pt and px. Again, thanks.
