I want a bigger font - Page 2

Dan,

In your normal.css file -->

If you change this line

body {
   font-size: 10px;
}


to this

body {
   font-size: 0.65em;
}


Then us, old fashioned IE users will also be able to use our IE browser's text size option, which is not working right now because it's "fixed" with "px" in css.

No worries btw, it won't change site's overall font size, infact font size will stay same but it will let us use IE text size option.

And as you might expect, everyone's mileage is likely going to vary. The effect in Firefox 3 is nonsalutary.

Okay just installed firefox3 and I see what you mean Richard. Overall site looks okay but "forum's postbody text" now displays 14px text size. Here's the solution. (And it's caused by this parent/child issue explained in link I gave with my previous post above)

in hb3a.css find this line

.postbody .content {
   FONT-SIZE: 1.3em
}


and change it to

.postbody .content {
   FONT-SIZE: 1.1em
}


then all will be fixed for both IE and firefox users. I'm sorry I didn't count forum postbody has its own font size definition since it was working fine with FF2. I apologize from all users if I caused temporary problems with my suggestion :)

PS. This time checked it with FF2 (was working without problems already), FF3 and IE7 both for forum, and other pages of HB site locally on my machine.

Gotta love CSS. Anyway, I added the changes you suggested and I retested on Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7. Post fonts look teenie tiny on Firefox. I've gone back to the original implementation... members will have to refresh their browsers. :roll:
