I am using joomlacomment 3.25 and my joomla 1.5.10 is running in Legacy mode 1.0. I need help in adjusting the width for posted comments. Looks like it is set to about 500 px and I need it at around 900. Can you direct me to the exact spot where I can make that change? I'm painfully new to Joomla.

I did find the a default css in joscomment/templates/default/css and it looks to me like the "comment .form" width is set to 100% which would be perfect. But, that's not what I am seeing when someone posts a comment so I'm going to assume I haven't found the right place yet to make the change.


Thanks much,

I've been reading everything I can find here about the width of the comment form and found this one from last year:
#comment #CommentMenu {
width: 70%;
float: left;

// #2

#comment .post {
width: 70%;
float: left;

// #3

#comment .form {
width: 70%;
float: left;


This answer was to adjust the size and spacing but now I am wondering why the 100% width that is set for my #comment .form setting is not giving me 100%. I checked the other areas and they have no setting for width at all, should I add them to the css to say 'width: 100%' for each of those listed above? My god I am sounding desparate.
