Curious. How do you change the base font size outside of the actual forum boards? For instance, where the My Profile | Search etc... links are? I see where even many of the highly modified sites don't have this changed from the original size "1". In Explorer, that size "1" gets mighty tough to read.

Is this a control panel thing and I'm not seeing it, or is it a hack thing? If a hack thing, which files control the writing of the areas displayed around the actual board and which file must I edit to ensure they are not re-written back to their defaults? Any ideas?

Thanks!

As far as I know the only way to change this, is by editing the HTML in the files directly.

Yea. It's one of those hardcoded things. No way to change it but to actually edit the files.

Ok... I've been able to find almost all the font changes that I need... EXCEPT these few things:

1. Latest Post Info (in each category) - listed on the main topic page where it lists subject, author, time, etc.

2. The line that says: "Hello [username]" at the top of each page

3. The "my profile...etc. line" on the page listing user-made topics within an admin generated forum. I've managed to get this line fixed on the other pages except this one.

Ideas on which files these are in. I've searched and searched and am most likely over-looking it, but can't seem to located where all those darn "size=1" are.

Thanks!

Thanks, Allen-

Well, it indeed help me know where I should be looking, but the unfortunate part it that I had changed those font sizes without affecting the my objective. Here are the sections I targeted in relation to the numbered questions I listed:

1.

$last_subject $last_author

$msg_icon2
$TheDate
$LatestTime


2. $vars_config{BBName}



$MainButtonsLine


3. Hmmm... haven't done anything here yet. Still looking and studying what exactly I need to change. All the font size "2" above were formerly "1" and that gets quite small sometimes.


Any suggestions on what or where I am going wrong? Thanks!
