Adjusting links

[PF]

On my forum's Visual Editor, when I adjust one set of links in an area, the links in a different area are affected.

I would like to see something where there is a separate setting for each area of the forum. I had to add CSS code to adjust the size of the links in the 'like' and 'edit' areas, because when I made them large in the descriptions, those areas were affected too, as were the links in the Notifications page and footer where I didn't want the size of the links changed. If there is code I could add to the CSS where I can adjust all the links separately on each area of the forum, that would be nice.

Thank you.

That's a slightly tall order, because there are many, many places that links appear. I am not entirely sure what you're thinking CSS can do to alleviate your struggle — similarly to the code you previously added to directly target specific areas, you would have to individually target every single link in the same manner.

It's not impossible, of course, just very tedious and lengthy. It would probably be easier to start on a smaller scale by targeting links you know you want to change rather than starting with the broad scope of "all links". Is there something in particular that isn't styled the way you like it?

Hi Kami,

Well, it's just something that is out of whack on my forum using the default Proboard template.

I enlarged the print on the Names and Descriptions, which affected all the other links. Now the titles/links on the Notifications page, the names/links in the footer information are all large too. Someone gave me CSS code to make the names on the 'like' and 'edited by' smaller though, because those names were large too. So it seems that when I enlarged the print for the Names/Descriptions/Rows, it affected all of them. I would like the links in the footer and notifications page to be small or medium, not large.

I see! It would actually probably be easier to do this in reverse — since changing the thing you wanted to change had a cascading effect (the C in CSS by the way), it would probably be better to revert that change in the visual editor and target that section directly. We'd make less overall CSS adjustments that way. Does that sound good to you?

Yes, that sound good Kami. Thank you.

Also, if you look at the homepage of my forum here: link, you'll see the moderator and sub-board names are also large where I would like them smaller too. All I did was enlarge the Names/Descriptions/Rows and all the other links were enlarged too, even where I didn't want them enlarged, like on the Notifications page and the Footer links.

I was already given CSS code to adjust the names in the 'liked' section.

Before I do anything, can you confirm that you reverted the initial change of enlarging the font size in the visual editor? Set that back to "Normal" for now.

Okay, I have to go now but I'll update this thread as soon as I do that. Thank you Kami.
