Trouble Increasing Font Size

i wanted to increase the size of my font on my forum cause i've had a few forum members complain that the text font was too small

so i used the search engine and found threads where people previously asked this question.

you have to go to "admin panel" , "display", "colors", then "main font size"

yeah, it sounds real easy...but when i go to increase the font size, nothing changes at all

so when i found the main font size option, i saw that the font size was on 12

so i bumped it up to 15...and after i clicked save, nothing changed at all

assuming that the change was too small to notice, i tried bumping the size up to 20...and nothing changed either...i even tried 30 and nothing happened

i could use a little help here lol...my "main font size" option is broken!

Did you try installing another skin & then trying the same procedure?

You may have to change your font size in your CSS

well, i enjoy my skin

so how can i change my font size in my CSS?

If you post your css on here someone will be able to tell you which bit needs changing

okay...i went to the CSS part of my admin panel and i pretty much figured it out for my self

right in the first block of text is where i changed the font type to "ariel" and increased the size to "73%" ...so i pretty much got it lol

but i do have another question...i'm apparently not able to change the "moderator font color" or "admin font color" either...so how can i change it in the CSS code?

Code:

body {
   /* Text-Sizing with ems: http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/ */

        font-weight: normal;

   background: #202020 url(http://i44.tinypic.com/21bmb2f.gif);
   font-size: 73%; /* This sets the default font size to be equivalent to 10px */
   margin: 0px;
}
