That link does not lead to a RN website, but in answer to your question it is probably theme related.

pan, yes, look at your theme's style.css, especially where there is an "a" tag. Wink

that link didn't need to link to a real website............. Neutral

It was an example - it's the exact same thing here.

What do i edit in css?

Ah I see, you need to look for the 'a' tag within the CSS file.

I would recommend using the Firebug addon for Firefox. This will help you to inspect the HTML and CSS for the page and then easily find the right tag.

Can someone just paste a line and show me what to edit? I just want the font size of links to act like the normal text. Even when you use size tags.

Code:

font {font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;}
td {font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px}
body {font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px}
p {font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px}
div {font-family: Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10px}
input{margin-bottom:2px;margin-top:2px;text-indent:2px}
input,textarea,select{border-color:#000000;color:#000000;font-size:11px}

Can you confirm what theme you are using?

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

fisubice

the same one as here

jakec · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 6:52 am

There is a separate CSS for the forums with fisubice called Forums.css.

Open it and adjust this line:

Code:

a:link,a:active,a:visited,a.postlink{font-size:10px;color:#32475f;text-decoration:none;font-family: Verdana,helvetica,sans-serif}

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

adjust it to what

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

changing the font size ruins every link on the whole forum (ie. Forum headings etc.)

I just want the link in posts to not be smaller than the normal text (ie. my first post)

jakec · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 6:55 am

To whatever you, because you want to change the font size then start there.

The best way to learn is trial and error, just make sure you keep a backup. Wink

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

wtf, can't you just give me an answer.

it's taken like 15 posts and still i don't know how to fix such a simple thing

this is why i wish i made my site phpbb3 standalone in the first place uggghhh

jakec · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:06 am

There is no need for that. Evil or Very Mad

I am trying to help you, I don't have a site running this theme at the moment so I am trying to do this by just looking at the files.

Give me a few minutes and I'll try to setup up a test site.

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

ok then

nuken · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:28 am

Add this line to your Forums.css file underneath the .postbody line:

Code:

.postbody a{font:12px/125% Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif}

jakec · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:32 am

Thanks nuken, I was just adjusting the files.

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

Thanks, that's been annoying me for weeks.

How do I also always make the post links be underlined?

jakec · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:45 am

Add text-decoration:underline to the above code nuken posted.

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

tried that

it made the whole line not work

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

never mind, didn't know how to write it:

.postbody a{font:12px/125% Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;text-decoration:underline}

nuken · Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2010 7:52 am

No problem Jakec.

As far as it taking 15 posts to give you an answer for FREE, your original post lacks many important details about your actual issue such as the theme you are using and the fact that you only wanted the links in forum posts changed. No one minds giving advise or help, but remember this is done by people who are donating their time and abilities for free.

pan · Involved Joined: Jul 25, 2006 Posts: 354

I gave an exact working example of what I wanted to adjust in my first post

.....but it obviously wasn't clear otherwise I would not have asked the question. You didn't say what theme you were using etc.

We like to help people help themselves, so I am sorry if I didn't give you the answer straight away.

Also on another point you could have similar problems with other CMS's.
