Debby, upload it under forum plugins in the admin area of simple-press

You might also want to look at the integration tab in the admin area and mess with the settings on the bottom of page and permalink, I looked at your forum and am seeing several displays of it at the top of your page

here is our custom forum, it's not to crazy, we just wanted a theme that matched our colors and logo better

more on what kvr was talking about on using sp plugins:   https://simple-press.com/docum.....g-plugins/

kvr gives you an example of custom theme... take a look at our showcase page for some more examples of what can be done... 

but those are just the tip of the iceberg... colors as well as complete layout overhauls are possible... of course, the more changes, the more effort required...

to change the font size, you would edit the sp theme you are using, not your wp theme...  if you tell me which sp theme you are using, I can provide more info, or just use the plugin you mentioned so everyone can choose the size they want...

Thank you...
Yes - we are readying a new theme at the moment actually but there still needs to be work done on the mobile side of the display. This will be our first theme that makes full use of new CSS3 capabilities which is quite exciting!

Sure, it's really easy to change the font size throughout the forum using the reset.css file in your themes style folder. The reset file essentially just consists of some basics for the theme's stylesheet to work from.

Looking at default theme for an example the font size is set to 1em. If a font size in the stylesheet is set to 80% it will display 80% of 1em. You can change the 1em to anything you like.

Of course you can be more specific and target individual areas of the forum to change font size in the themes stylesheet itself.
