How to decrease the font size for quote blocks in YAF 2.31?

Now characters in these blocks look bigger than the normal text, but I would prefer to make them smaller if we take the normal text font size as a basis. At least, this is true for our forum rendered with the Simplex theme.

The issue will be fixed with the next update 2.31.7

You can fix this in the theme by adding

.blockquote-custom {
  font-size: xxxxrem; }

Glad to hear from you :)
When can we expect to see 2.31.7? If it will be soon enough, I can wait.

The current release is one week old. so expect the next release in 1-2 month. Or if you cant wait just fork or download the stable branch from github, and compile yaf yourself.

Ok, then I want to fix it quickly in the CSS now. What value do you recommend for the font-size parameter you mentioned above? I guess it should be a relative value related to the main font size (size of post text).

Currently I am using 2.31.5. Now I need to upgrade to 2.31.6, then download this improvement, then recompile it... Much work. I can wait for the v2.31.7 instead or apply the CSS fix.

Why do you need to download 2.31.6 first? Just add the css I wrote above. With the font size from the link

See post #5. I just asked for a recommended value but got no answer.

Many mentions of blockquote-custom:

.blockquote-custom {
  font-size: 1rem; }
.blockquote-custom {
  font-size: 0.9375rem; }
.blockquote-custom {
  font-size: 0.875rem; }

Which one to use? Or should I try myself and use what looks best for me?

Oh, sorry. I didn't notice that those fixes are for different themes. Sorry, I am just not a web developer and not a developer of YAF, and sometimes I need a simple answer to my questions 🙂

The following setting helped me:

.blockquote-custom {font-size:0.8125rem !important;}

Don't forget to mention the !important attribute if it is required.
