Look inside your themes folder for a forums.css file. It should be something like themes/THEME_NAME/forums/forums.css. Once you have the file, you'll need to look for a class named "postbody". It will look something like this:

.postbody { font-size : 12px;}


Change the font-sixe to whatever you want.

You'll need to do this for every theme you have installed.

Well heck there is no forums.css file in my theme. I am using the vtech2 theme for platinum.

The only .csss files there are

formIE.css
that is just for block alignment and no place for text size.

Any other sugestions?

Without having the theme in front of me, it's hard to tell you exactly what to do. Here are some other things you might try:

Look in the themes/vtech2 folder for a styles folder. There may be a .css file in there.

Look in overall_header.tpl and see if you see a line similar to this:

link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/vtech2/styles.css" type="text/css"


That may give you an indication of where the stylesheet is located.

Look in overall_header.tpl and see if you see a line similar to this:

.postbody { font-size : 12px; line-height: 17px}


If none of that works, zip up the template file and attach it here, or leave me a link to download it and I'll take a look through it.
