Hi i am new to this board.
I don't hardly anything about css. But i have been editing phpbb's css file and i am have a hard time getting text to fit how i want it.
I figured out most of what i want but what my main problem is i can't get some text to have small enough lines. Above my text there is like 12pixles that i don't want. I want to make the text closer to together.
I would really apreciate any help
Thanks

well, there is usually a pretty easy solution to spacing problems. first thing you need to do is check the css for the tags the text is in. if it is <p> tags, you may need to add a "margin-top: 0; padding-top: 0;" to your css. then, you can change the 0 to however many pixels you want for space if you care to. otherwise, you may need to check how many pixels your table cell has for spacing. if your <td> tag is the culprit, you may need to adjust that css accordingly instead.
hope this helps!

That didn't work.
Do you mean if it is a <p> tag in the html file?

Just to expand on what obsidian is suggesting, rather than just removing the margin from the top, first of all zero it all, with margin: 0; on the offending element.
Also, do the same with the padding of container elements (as obsidian also suggests).

thanks. I finally got it to work when i read what he said reallly really slowly i noticed i could mess with the td commands because they were already in the css file. So i added them to the link stuff (because they were links) and with a little more tweaking of the text size i got it to fit just right. Thanks maybe ill stick around here for a while
