Well, the text is a class and so the easiest way to modify it is in the css. But, if you don't want to do it that way, you may do it inline (<span style="font-size:10px">whatever the text is</span>) but you may have to modify a few templates. To find the templates - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code.

For the postbit, you can probably just add it in here (this is from 3.6.8, yours may be a bit different):

       <!-- message -->
        <div id="post_message_$post[postid]" style="font-size:10px;">$post[message]</div>
        <!-- / message -->
