Looks like he meant output of the guestbook which seems to be font size 5  or so.

Just change font size in the script. So if you look at the scrip in .txt extention instead of usual .pl there should be an string that says something about font size even in perl language.

So basically if you own the domain acess your cgi bin, save your guestbook script, rename it to (whatever).txt look for font size, then change font size, save it and rename it to previos extention then upload it back to your site. (might want to save a backup copy before you mess with this tho)

  Email me if this is not what your were looking for, i should be able to help ya either way.

Hope this helps.

How did you upload the message board?  Did you do it yourself or did you have someone install it for you?

It looks like you should just be able to go to the script from your file manager and search for the font size, change it and save it

However, backup the old version first just in case before changing it

In the source of the page, under where it says "don't modify the cgi tag", you need to modify.  The cgi script is writing out "font size=+2" THREE TIMES in the code without any closing font tags.  You can download a copy of the script and search for that font tag and eliminate it.  Make a copy first.  If you have trouble, let me know, I'll help you out.  This post may have gotten a quicker reply in the "C++ / PERL / CGI" forum.

Hi TWebMan.
I've noticed that. The problem is that i can't find the srvript. It looks like it is in a "lunar" folder. csg-sys doesn't excist in my folders.
Would be glad for more input.

he's using the guestbook that is provided under the "cgi center" in a paid account.  Does that get stored in his local folders or elsewhere?

Ah, okay (duh).  I don't know where those scripts lurk, but if we can't get it fixed, I'm sure one of the Admins will take care of it for you  -especially if you show them the page!

OK.
Thanks for your time.
I will not use this guestbook. It is useless without the redesign etc.
I go with the super duper PHP guestbook.
