I imagine this can be done with CSS but I have no idea how I tried to do it will the global command main font size, but that also changed other parts of the forum as well. I only want to increase the size of the homepage message itself.

You can use the BB code for size.

Example:

Code:

[size=18]homepage message[/size]

Change 18 to what you would like the size to be.

how can you align it left as well
and change the font itself.
in fact why not go the whole hog and I'll ask you for all the font properties or can you point me at a place where I can find them

Flappypaddles, just use the code from slg when you post am message. In a post field.

indeed that worked well, but I still would like to change the font itself and align the whole thing to the left as at the moment it is centre aligned.

Can you provide your forum url?

I have sorted that problem now I think thanks to the help here
but I am sure there will be more questions soon

Add in your CSS Stylesheet:

Code:

div.postbody div{
font: Georgia !important;
font-size: 18px !important;
}

Change Georgia and 18px values.
