no the code is fine, but don't use that notepad, use the notepad++ i mentioned in the previous post, the reason the error is because windows' notepad doesn't save the files with BOM, and they need to so just use the text editor i told you about!

ok forgive the double post here. but
Click here to see my new page,
my only concern is that the font size is so small...
i was looking to improve it...make it a little bigger.
Below is the html i used
Code: Select all
<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->
<br clear="all" />
<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td class="cat" colspan="2"><h2>About Us</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="row1" width="100%"><p class="genmed"> We were founded in 2009, by Shadow to bring you the best general discussions forum on the Internet! <br />
We promise to do the following:
<ul>
<li>Provide new content</li>
<li>Provide a friendly atmosphere</li>
<li>Provide an environment where you can have fun!</li>
<li>Keep them internet trolls at bay</li>
<li>Listen and give advice if you want it</li>
</ul><br /></font></p></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- INCLUDE jumpbox.html -->
<!-- INCLUDE overall_footer.html -->
I tried adding a font size tag after <p class>
do i change the size in the paragraph tab?

if you want the whole text in that box to be bigger, maybe you can try to change this:
Code: Select all
<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
to this:
Code: Select all
<table class="tablebg" width="100%" cellspacing="1" style="width: 12px;">
change the
12px to what ever size you prefer!

sorry about that!
sorry that will only increase the font in the table header. let me test it a little more and tell you the correct edits!

i really hate those phpbb3 styles that use tables!
how does it look if you used this instead?
Code: Select all
<!-- INCLUDE overall_header.html -->
<br clear="all" />
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" class="tablebg">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th colspan="2">
<h2>About Us</h2>
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" class="row1">
<p class="genmed">We were founded in 2009, by Shadow to bring you the best general
discussions forum on the Internet!<br />
We promise to do the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide new content</li>
<li>Provide a friendly atmosphere</li>
<li>Provide an environment where you can have fun!</li>
<li>Keep them internet trolls at bay</li>
<li>Listen and give advice if you want it</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- INCLUDE jumpbox.html -->
<!-- INCLUDE overall_footer.html -->
