I am a moderator on a songwriter's forum. Even though the default font size on the post reply window shows to be 2, the post's actual font size is 1. I can get an actual font size of 2 only by highlighting the text, changing it to size 3, and then changing it back to size 2. I find this to be very annoying. Is there a fix, or is this somehow settings on my end? It may very well be, since it does the same thing posting here.

Hi, This is not a usual problem and usually involves some code in a template that has been modified. I'll have to check it out later tonight. You can PM me with your name on that board if you want so I'll know which posts to look in- Jim

There isn't a default size and never has been, right back to WowBB. The size 2 showing by default is really a bug -- it should be blank. If you don't set an explicit font size, the size is determined by the theme CSS -- <td class=postrow. On this board (Ultra theme) that's a size of 11px. If you select a font size, the CSS is overwritten by an inline <FONT SIZE= tag. The effect of that depends on which browser you are using, and your screen dpi setting. Size 2 might be larger or smaller than the theme CSS. Also, different users will see different sizes -- not necessarily the same as the writer. Whereas the default size is set in px, which means it will be the same for everyone (at 100% zoom). regards, Martin. Last edited on Thu Nov 19th, 2009 09:13 pm by martin_wynne |

OK, so this is a line after choosing size 2 in the drop down menu before typing. Now here is a line after choosing size 3 and then back to size 2 (no highlighting) before typing.

OK I get it now. There is no size called and all text will assume the size of the text called out in the CSS for that particular cell. As martin said it really should be blank because evidently 11 PX isn't "size 2". Selecting what is in the default drop down wouldn't change it you are correct, that is why you have to change it to something else and back to 2. Changing the CSS sheet for postrow1 and 2 to reflect 12PX would probably give the effect you want.

Jim wrote: OK I get it now. LOL..........So what I'm getting from all this is that I am right, and the default is really size 1 but it says size 2 and the drop down menu only affects highlighted text. As far as changing the CSS sheet, is that something the admin can do to change the actual default size of posts to 2?

The admin can change it to 12 PX in the style sheet or they can ask me and I'll do it for them. I have no idea what "size1" and "size2" are. Seems arbitrary to me. Even the new "em" standard messes with me because it all comes down to one real number; the actual amount of pixels the text is high. Please forgive me, I did not design the text editors or the way they work. I'll whip up a little HTML page and see what size corresponds to what.

Looks to me like 2=12 and 3 is bigger than 14. Probably 16. http://www.ultrabb.net/font/

Jim, You have been more than kind sir to go to all this trouble. I know from perusing this forum, you are a busy man. I will pass along this information to our admin and let him decide if he needs your help to do the change. There of course remains the possibility that he will decide to do nothing, but at least I will have satisfied my own sense of curiosity. Thank you very much!

My apologies Di for leaving you out of my thanks. It has taken me a bit of time to understand the team of Jim & Di. I have just read of your plight of past promises becoming an overbearing albatross. It seems you are doing what one must to move forward. Thank you Di for your help.

Jim wrote: OK I get it now. Hi Jim and Di, I went in to the cPanel to edit the CSS file and had no luck. I found the postrow1 and postrow2 code and there was nothing set for font-size. I carefully placed code in there to set it to 12px but saw no difference in posting replies. Not sure if I was doing it wrong. There were only 3 places in the style sheet labeled 'postrow' so I believe I was in the right place. I looked at the Admin Panel access to the style sheet too, but it did not seem like the right place to approach this. Any ideas? -Troy SuperModerator The Songwriters' Forum

Troy33 add font-size: 14px; to the two postrow classes I believe they are td.postrow1 and td.postrow2, having doene that to see the difference you will need to place the control key and refresh when on the page so that a new style sheet is gotten from the server.
