I guess this may be a support question, but I'll give it a go:

I'm testing SP on my site to see what interest there may be in a forum.  I've set up a 'try out' forum to collect comments.  The font size is extremely small, and I'd like to set it to work with the rest of my site.

With the default font size the forum is nearly impossible to read - so I don't know how people will react to it until I can get a legible font working.

I've done a bit of searching and can't seem to find where this would be set up.  Can anybody point me to the control for this? If it is done in CSS - would it be in the template folder?

 

Thanks!

Yes it's a support question but it deserves an answer!

Interestingly - assuming you are using the 'default' theme that comes with the core plugin - the main font size is set to 100% and inherits from your WordPress theme so if it is really small then it is partly your WP theme that is the cause.

In the theme folder if you drill down you will find a folder named 'overlays'. If you open the overlay you have your theme set to and find the $mainFontSize value then you can changer it until it sizes how you want it. Try 110% for example and go from there.

I was looking to modify the same thing, I find the default font too small. I made the change suggested here, and noticed that the effect is not permanent. What happens is that as the page loads, you can see a brief "flash" of the page with the font at the adjusted size -- this only lasts a second or less -- and then the page loads normally, ignoring the font adjustment. So something is overwriting it during final page loading.

sounds like you have a theme or plugin doing something odd... does it happen with default wp theme?
