How do i change font size for post body text??

[Donkon]

I went into style manager but i cannot find the right place to make the text that people post bigger. Also i would like to change the color of it. Cant find it, any changes i make i dont see a difference. Please help

Since the posts use classes that are used in other areas, alt1 and alt2, you probably want to create your own class with the larger size and different color and then apply it to the div tag around the post:
<!-- message -->
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]" class="yourclass">
$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start]
$post[message]
</div>
<!-- / message -->

You would add the new css to the bottom of the Main CSS file in Styles & Templates > select your style > dropdown to Main CSS

And then the new class to the postbit and/or postbit_legacy as suggested above.
