I have tried and failed to change the size of my Normal text and failed.  I am using a skin I purchase but I'm not sure which css file controls the size og my Normal text.  You can see an example at www.greatplainsshootout.com

The Normal text in the Users Online module is too large and I want to make it smaller.  Any help is appreciated.

First you need to sort out why your site is loading the skin.css six times. Have you included links to the skin.css in a bunch of different places? Remove all references to it and let DNN load it just once from the skin folder.

Also, one of the skin.css files is completely different from the others. The one loading five times says 2007 at the top and the other says 2006.

Also, (and I put this in a ticket in Gemini long ago) made-up classes are case sensitive in some browsers. DNN tends to use Normal instead of normal. You should use exactly the same capitalization as is in the code.

There's also a Normal style specified in your portal.css

All up and including the default.css, the module is looking at 8 places where the normal styles has been specified.

Oh.. hang on.. there's more! You've even got the normal style specified more than once in the skin.css

Remove them all, then copy the .Normal section out of the default.css into your skin.css and set the desired size.

The best way to style is to start with nothing and then only add what is needed. Also always be aware that the defaul.css is pre-styling everything and you have to override exactly what it is doing.

And dont' go a step further until you've insalled Firefox and the Web Developer and Firebug Add-ons. These are essential and you can't carry on until you have them. Use the Edit CSS menu in Web Developer and the Inspect Element right-click item in Firebug.

Yikes.  I purchased the skin I'm using from someone.  It was originally part of a pack but I only purchased the single skin from him.  Wonder if it has anything to do with that?  I'm not a developer so my knowledge concerning this is low.

I installed both add-ins for Firefox and they are very helpful.

Most skins I've purchased have had plenty of sloppy code. In fact there isn't a single one on my system that I didnt' end up rebuilding from scratch. They're still good to have of course, but just note that you'll still have to do work on them.

I suggest checking the skin and container files for style sheet links and remove any you find. Then go through the remaining points I raised. Also, see if you have figure out where there are two different skin.css files.. they can't be in the same folder because they have the same name, but they must be somewhere nearby.
