Can anyone tell me how to change font size in a post?

Or how to self deleate. I have a bunch of time dated posts in the Arizona forum I would like to clean up.

1. There's a time limit on deleting/editing posts

I believe it's one hour.

As far as editing the post, you need to click the "Edit" link at the bottom of your post and then the post/editing window will come up. Remember to click the "Update" button at the bottom when you're done.

If you want to change the font size, you need to surround the words with these bracket tags:

<font size=?>your words</font>

Instead of the pointy brackets, use square brackets. Insert an actual number in the "size=" tag - 1 being small text, 10 being large text.

2. Self delete can only be done in the hour you have to edit...

After you post.

That will change with DU3, when there will be no limit on when you can edit.

Changing font size is trickier...

You need to click on "HTML lookup table" in your message options that shows up when you write a post.

This is what it looks like, except I put <> in instead of []. Where it says size you put what size text you want.

<font color="color" size="size" face="face"]Text
Here's an example:

Text

I used size 15 for my example.

Good luck!

3. You can only delete within the editing time

and the post basically stays there anyway so just ignore them or ask the mods

do you mean change font size for reading or for posting?
