Help with formatting of privacy.php in Master Style

My forum has about 10 styles so I made my Privacy Statement in the Master Style with template, hooks and all. So far so good.

My problem is some of the formatting- I need to indent & bullet a few items and have no idea how to do that. The normal html commands aren't working. Blockhead works great but I have no idea how to get the indents and bullets to work.

If it's as simple as telling to page to look up a certain CSS, I have no idea how to do that either.

Code:

<h2 class="blockhead">How we may use personal information</h2>

<br />

<ul>

  <li>To provide you our online content</li>

  <li>To personalize your experience</li>

  <li>To receive feedback from you and respond to it</li>

  <li>To contact you about anything you may submit</li>

  <li>To analyze user behavior in order to improve our web and mobile products</li>

  <li>To block attempts to disrupt the work of our websites and applications</li>

  <li>To prevent violations of our comment posting rules</li>

</ul>

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try changing:

HTML Code:

<ul>

to:

HTML Code:

<ul class="restore">

Thanks for this suggestion but sadly no difference. May I pm you a link to the page itself?
I've been tearing out my hair for several hours knowing that it I probably missed something obvious when I created the page. Was I supposed to link it to a master stylesheet?

OMG. That was it! Thank you! 1 quick question, where's the best, most concise place to learn this (ie, why the first coding didn't work) ?

I had tried "restore" earlier but had no idea about needing the "div" CSS is obviously not my strong point. Thanks again.

CSS is like quantum mechanics...anyone who says they understand it does not...LOL!

I really can't tell you why your first code didn't work, I just recall when I once added a block to a page with an unordered list in it, and it didn't work as desired, so I looked at the DOM for an element where it did work, such as a post where the LIST BBCode is used, and I saw the "restore" class selector was used, and I added that to my element and it worked.

For me, CSS is a lot of trial and error. :)

Thank you! I feel less stupid already :) I googled a ton thinking surely someone must have gotten it into a privacy.php file already so I can just peak and copy. The closest I found was this

Code:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&middot;Name<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&middot;Address<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&middot;Phone Number

</div></div><h2 class="blockhead">How We Use Information</h2><div class="blockbody"><div class="blockrow"><p align=justify>

which looked awful on top of being just plain wrong. Thank you :)
