iayork I would like to change the default font size in the edit textarea. I've tried adding to my userstyle.css the following: textarea.edit { font-size:18px ; } with no effect. I've tried a number of variants on it (e.g. just "textarea" instead of "textarea.edit"; "font-size=150% ;" and so on) still with no effect, and in fact I can't change anything about the textarea, such as background-color etc. My userstyle.css does seem to be read and applied, because I've successfully changed the "code" font-family that way. (Although it only partially works -- I can't override the background color applied by the monobook template.) Any suggestions? Thanks, iayork
