Question Forum Post: Font Size

Greetings all,

I have looked throughout the forums to find no common solution to the font size when creating a message/post. Currently it looks like it is perhaps defaulted at font size 8, which i need to bring it up to 12.

Note: I have tried the following; kunena.forum-min.css file to change the size with no availability, ive cleared my cache, same thing and no change at all.

I will say, since the update of 1.6 it has been one heck of a nightmare from the older version. It is rather unfortunate that it has become such a headache, however my guys like the forums and we would like a solution to this issue ASAP.

It would be helpful to have clear instructions on to change from the files that need to be accessed in order to change that.

Cheers,

Acidrain

G'day, Acidrain, and welcome to Kunena.

The general guide to changing font sizes, colours, etc., is referred to as a FAQ (see FAQs tab at the top of this page and look under the heading Template and layout-related issues. I hope this helps.

Am Also using Kunena 1.6

And am having the same problem the font in the message post form is minute!(see the attached screen sheen shot) I have looked at your wiki and used Firebug which refers to: -

#Kunena textarea, #Kunena textarea.kmedium {
font-size: 1em;
width: 95%;
height: 10em;
}

I changed the "1em" to "2em" with no effect on the font size?

I am no specialist when it comes to code so could be barking up the wrong tree?

As this is such a critical aspect please can you post detailed instructions on how to remedy this.

I would like to go a step further and suggest in the next release that the font and size be editable in the Forum Configuration/frontend control panel

thanks

G'day, Tusk, and welcome to Kunena.

Which file, specifically, did you change? Did you force a reload of your browser cache to obtain a fresh copy of the CSS?

Hi Sozzled,

Yes I did force a reload my browser using "F5", cleared my cache to obtain a fresh copy of the CSS, but saw no change?

the file I edited is the kunena.forum.css found in the components/com_kunena/template/default/css directory; and to portion of code refereed to in my earlier post are lines 142 to 147.

what Acidrain and I simply request is the route to the required file, its name, the line numbers,and what settings need to be adjusted. so that we know where it is exactly that we need to make the required changes to edit the font size?

This would be most helpful

many thanks

I saw Acidrain's post in this topic. Did you read my comment?

Please do not edit that file. Changing that file won't work, anyway. Please read what I wrote yesterday in the topic Default Template Blending (msg #5).

Instead of fiddling with Kunena CSS files, change instead your Joomla site template CSS file.
