Xeoncross Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I know that you are trying to cut back on the amount of spaced used by quote boxes - but what if the quote is from OFFSITE and therefor is not repeated? You can barely see the box text with a "font-size: x-small" setting. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, change the CSS to something like this: /* A quote, perhaps from another post. */ .quote { background-color: #eee; border: 1px solid #aaa; margin: 1px; padding: 5px; font-size: 90%; line-height: 150%; /* If something is worth quoting... it is worth seeing */ } Don't make all use look at small text just because some people don't know how to use the quote button.

neylitalo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 My first thought is that it's probably an SMF problem, and should be reported to them. My second thought is that any competent web browser (Opera, Firefox) will let you set a minimum font size, so you don't have that problem.

Xeoncross Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 No, display is set at the presentation level. There is no way SMF could set that absolutely. Simply open http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/Themes/default/style.css?fin11 and change that file to the code above. It should never be left to the user to make sure a site is readable - that is the sites job. Plus even if I change the font size the background is still dark purple which is horrid with black text (maybe if the text was white...). I could make the change myself in 9.2 sec with access to the FTP account ;P Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101418-making-quotes-readable/#findComment-518754 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Sure, it's both easier to read and it looks nicer. I'll consider changing it. Also, if you don't use FTP what do you use? a custom Curl setup? We only use SCP and SSH. It's more secure.

Daniel0 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 It seems that setting the font size to a percentage has a downside. Nested quotes are becoming increasingly more small... I'll see what I can do about that. Edit: Should be better now.

Xeoncross Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Do you think that we could also increase the code size? 9pt is a little small on a 1280 or lager screen. Plus the outside border is a bit close to the text so a increased padding would be nice. font-size: 10pt; width: 98%; padding: 1%; border: 1px solid #aaa; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/101418-making-quotes-readable/#findComment-860815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
