Question [RESOLVED] Font size in message editor is too small; users cannot read it

Hey

I cannot change the font size in the reply editor input box.
I changed this: in kunena.forum.css
#Kunena .kreply-form .inputbox {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
border:1px solid #999999;
color:#000000;
font-size:12px; <---- I added this line
margin:2px 0;
}
I remized it to kunena.forum-min.css and uploaded to the example/css dir
I am using the example template(I checked the view source)
The file is being updated when I ftp to my server. I checked that too.
The font-size:12px; statement is there when I view css from Kunena template manager.
I was able to fix this in rc2 and rc3. It's not updating in final release.
I checked the code in Firebug and the font-size:12px; statement is there.

The subject text input is fine with size. My users cannot read the text in the input box. It's too small. I don't know why you did not make the input box font a readable size in the final release of 1.6. This is the smallest text I've ever seen in any forum software.

Please help!!!!

I think I know what's happening here. You've made a change to the Kunena template CSS file ../components/com_kunena/template/default/kunena.forum.css but your don't see the effects of those file changes. This is because, by default, K 1.6 does not actually use that file; it uses a minified version of that file. See Minified CSS for a detailed explanation about how file minification works and how to create a minified CSS file for your Kunena installation.

Even so, even if you have applied your changes to the minified CSS file, you may not notice any difference. This is because your browse cache is still using the older version of the CSS file. You may also need to force your browser to refresh and replace the CSS file in your local cache.

I hope this helps.

Did you try?

Hi,

After upgrading to Kunena 1.6 I have noticed that the text size in the message compose area is very small (see screenshot)





How can I change this to normal size?

@Jodin: Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I have noticed that the problem is worth when using Google Chrome compared to using Internet explorer...

Anyone?

It's really quite simple. severdia's reply earlier contains the relevant information.

If you're only interested in changing the font size, add the following three lines to the end of your Joomla site template CSS file:

#Kunena .kreply-form .inputbox {
font-size:12px !important;
}

If you don't like 12px, try some other value (e.g. 14px or 16px) until you see a change that you can live with.

The answer is not in the inputbox
It's in this part:
#Kunena table#kpostmessage .ktxtarea {
border: 1px solid #BFC3C6;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
}

I added in there the font size...now it looks like this:
#Kunena table#kpostmessage .ktxtarea {
border: 1px solid #BFC3C6;
font-size: 14px;
height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
}

It works like a charm now!

Thanks man, this fixed my problem

Can someone help me out in this?

I'm facing the same problem in K1.6.4 and I'm using the default blue eagle template.

In which css file should I insert that code you are mentioning?

Is it Joomla's or Kunena's?
If it is Kunena, the template has 8 css files.

Also, some are marked as unwritable.

I appreciate some help,
Thanks
