Question about fonts
« on: November 03, 2017, 08:59:20 PM »
OK I admit it... I ain't the brightest bulb in the bunch when it comes to site parms. Back before the recent problem the font on the quotes was a tad larger than what it is now. Seeing as I am about half blind, is there anyway to change that? I can barely see anything quoted in posts. The regular posts are the same size, it is just the quotes that are small.  Gives me a headache. If I make everything larger then I can't read the regular posts.  I went to account settings and could not find anything about that.

Sucks getting old.  :banghead:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.   :cheersmate:

Something I do across the board that's completely apart from the forum's software - just click and hold Ctrl while adjusting the wheel of your mouse (assuming you use a mouse -- I can't not use a mouse). The entire screen will enlarge or reduce depending on which way you roll the wheel.

HERE IS THE FIX FOR THAT ISSUE
« Reply #2 on: November 13, 2017, 06:26:34 PM »
I saw the same thing. There is a fix.

Not sure how you access the main files for this site, but you are looking for a file called "index.css" . Open it in editing mode.

Scroll down to line 296, you will see the following:

/* Line 296 */
blockquote.bbc_standard_quote, blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote
{
  font-size: x-small;


Note that the font-size value is set at x-small. This line should be "commented out."

To do this add the comment tags (/* and */ to the line as shown in red):
 
  /* font-size: x-small; */

Click Save File. That will fix the blockquote font size issue.

{{BUMP}}

Is it possible to adjust the site CSS to accommodate the above fix? Thanks.

Please consider fixing, or can you let us know if the fix is not possible? Thanks. Squinting is not really my thing these days.
