LOL...sorry......post didn't take for some reason........here it is
I'm puzzled by the layout/design/format for the FP2002 discussion web I've created. I realize I can pick a theme, and change the font size/wording of most of the pages

But I'm at a loss to understand the default page & post detail page as to why it's initially configured to have the font sizes so large and particularly using up 7 precious lines in the detail for From: Date: Time: Remote Name: line beak Comments: line break before getting to the text of the pos

What I realize I'm trying to do is remove or smaller font down what is in the 2 windows so as to get as many threads showing in one window and as much of the post in the other window, leaving the only decision the relative size of the two windows. The nice thing about this Front Page discussion board is how is does much of the above. This board has tiny font sizes and doesn't show remote name, obvious headings like Comments, et

I'm stuck at the last thing to slim my discussion web down which is how to make the window that shows the posts show them in much smaller font and put some ofl those 7 lines on one line, leaving most of the window for the text of the post. I can't find the mask that has Remote Name, for exampl

I've made good progress. Figured out how to get rid of Remote Name & Time lines showing in a post & how to get font of Contents window smaller

The last thing I'm having trouble with is with disc42_post.htm which is the only place I can find for specifying fonts for the actual article itself when it shows in the lower window. Page & form properties, options & discussion handler for discussion & article tabs don't seem to let me select smaller font size for my articles.

The FP discussion web component has very limited format options, short of
applying a theme.
