decreasing font size for thread titles on Latest Topics list

[banjolawyer]

I have my Latest Topics module in the center column of my CMPS. www.78749.org

Can anyone tell me how to decrease the font size of the thread titles. By default they are larger than any other font on the homepage.

You mean the news archive? I don't see the latest threads on that page...
For the latest threads, you would want to edit your 'adv_portal_latesttopicbits' template. For the archive, your 'adv_portal_archivebits' template. ;)

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't know that unregistered guests have to be allowed to view the actual content of the forums in order to be able to see the thread titles on the CMPS latest topics module.

I have had to change the Guest Usergroup's permissions re: viewing forum posts, calendar events, and who's online, in order for the hompage not to look so dead.

Can you tell me what code to change in the adv_portal_latesttopicbits and adv_portal_archivebits templates. I had guessed those were the templates, and tried a few code changes based on what I saw in other templates, but I couldn't figure out how to make it work right, so I reverted back to the original.

That's the code you need to modify. You should add <span class="smallfont"> in front of that, and then </span> at the end. You may also want to remove the <b> and ending </b> tags as well. ;)

Thanks.. that worked great.

The string to search for in adv_portal_news_archivebits is
a href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?t=$news[threadid]" title="$news[preview]">$news[title]</a>
