Title: CSS File "Quote" text size
Post by: njtweb on May 16, 2018, 12:52:21 PM
Which file contains the "Quoted" text size? I'd like to increase mine because it's too small to read if there's multiple lines of text.

Thank you!

Change blockquote.bbc_standard_quote 's font-size value (index.css).

index.css



/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
blockquote.bbc_standard_quote, blockquote.bbc_alternate_quote
{
font-size: x-small;
color: #000;
line-height: 1.4em;
background: url(../images/theme/quote.png) 0.1em 0.1em no-repeat;
border-top: 2px solid #99A;
border-bottom: 2px solid #99A;
padding: 1.1em 1.4em;
margin: 0.1em 0 0.3em 0;
overflow: auto;
}

I tried changing that from small, to large to x-large and nothing changes. Do I have to got to maintenance and clear the cache for the change to take effect?

I tried everything, 25px, 100%, 150%, small, large, x-large. I emptied the cache after each try and nothing changes.

EDIT: I guess 8th time is the charm. I changed from x-small to 135% and that worked.

with each change, did you clear your forum and browser cache?

I only did the admin>Maintenance>Forum Maintenance>Routine>Empty File Cache task each time. Am I supposed to be doing that and the browser? I assumed that was all that needed to be done.

no. you definitely need to clear the browser cache even more so than the server cache.

CTRL-F5 to reload a page with no cache
