  I’m using the Jentri theme and am trying to simplify my comments page- http://splyd.wordpress.com/about-lyds-big-one-word-story/
  The problem is that the reader needs to be able to see all the comments at a glance and there is too much clutter in the comments boxes. I can adjust all the text but can’t isolate specific elements.

  If I can’t remove the date, author and ‘reply’ using CSS then maybe I could just make the comment itself bigger and bolder.

  Any thoughts?

  If you have a CSS question it is best to post to that part of the forum so you’re more likely to get noticed. Here’s something to try to remove everything from the comments except the text itself. It also fixes the margins.

  li.comment {padding:0;}
li.comment div div, li.comment div br, li.comment div small {display:none;}
li.comment div p {margin-top:0.5em; margin-bottom:0.5em;}

  I’ve moved this post to the CSS forum for you.

  I would recommend using “%” units instead of “em” units if you want flexible margins and paddings. em units are for text.
