Hey guys, how do I reduce the size of the messages text?  Check this out:

The text in these messages is huge.  Anyone know how to fix it?  Thanks.

You have to reduce the css fontsize specification in the right place in your template.html

Yup.

To be more specific, by default the text size in your posts will be determined in the "TD" declaration of the CSS Styles section.

Remember, at the top of your template you have CSS style declarations that determine the color of various parts of your board, among other things. I noticed your particular template is quite messy (no offense intended, I'm sure mine are as well) so it may be tough to find what you need, but search through there and you'll find it. In fact, on your board it looks like this:

Code Select Expand

TD    {font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; color: #000000}
Compare that with the TD (table column) declaration from the YaBB SE Support Forum:

Code Select Expand

TD    {font-family: Verdana, arial, helvetica, serif; color: #000000; font-size:12px;}
Just change that "14px" at the end to whatever you need it to be... 12px, for instance.

Thanks.  There was NO font size spec there, making the text very large.  It's back to normal now.  thanks
