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 it's my fault, it's supposed to be

Code: Select all

font-size: 12px
not

Code: Select all

width: 12px
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! :D

i really hate those phpbb3 styles that use tables! :grin:
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>

            <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 -->

That actually centered the words "about us" in the bar which i like.

and now with that html you provided, I was able to use <font size> tags to enlarge the lists and the paragraph.

but thank you so much for your help man, I appreciate it!

great you got it working, but if I was you i would search in the internet about better ways to add the font size to those items instead of adding it to each of the lines. Like using

Code: Select all

style="font-size: 22px;"
to the whole thing, like

Code: Select all

<td width="100%" class="row1" style="font-size: 22px;">
instead, but it's up to you whether you want it xhtml strict or not!

WEll I just have to find time to get it fixed, I have no problem letting it display like that... a little overboard and ugly on the html but who's gonna view the source? :lol:

I added a mod today. "who was here" but i couldnt find asupport for the Aero blue style that I use. Care to venture over to my site and give a thought? I tried to use a setup like what was done for the affiliates box.
