question.........plus some tips for discus webs

[Lisa]

Tips:
You can modify the way an article looks in a Discussion
Web by applying a theme to the page with the form (post
artcile page); then on the form properties check 'get
background colour from' and link it to that very page you
are on.

Modify your theme; apply css; edit the text.

H2: appears top of the article and is the thread title

H3: is the 'Comment' title; (name of your comment field)

Body: will make changes to the article font and layout;
and to the other field titles; from., date, subject, etc.
You can also modify the paragraph; indent it.
(this is all on the article page; these changes do not
effect the page with the theads; theres another way to do
that).

Question;
But it doesn't seem to do much else? You can't apply a
border or shading to the body? Can't change the line
spacing? Anyone know what other tags could be changed?

Also I want a side border? can that be done?

(I know third parties boards might be the way to go; but
not interested in the smiley faces and moderators and all
the little extra gadgets you get. Also not sure how to
download and apply so FP I guess will do. Need something
simple).

Thanks

The FP Discussion web is limited in how it can be managed or modified.

Set a style in your theme for dd and dt tags (used for the threads)
Format Theme Modify Text - More Text Styles and add the tags and styles
