One thing that I personally don't find very attractive about MyBB is the "Board Statistics" section at the bottom of the index page. I find it can be too large and cluttered. This is a simple little template edit to achieve more of a streamlined and cleaner Board Statistics section on your forum. I'll once again be using the default MyBB theme for this demonstration.
Previews:
[attachment=28265][attachment=28266]
Process:
First, as always - log in to your Admin CP and go to the "Templates and Style" section of the control panel. Click on "Templates" and click on the set your current theme is using. Scroll down until you see the "Index Page Templates" set. Click to expand the templates and click on index_boardstats.
Replace the contents of index_boardstats with this:
Hit "Save and return to listing". Next, open the index_stats templates. Replace the contents:
Hit "Save and return to listing". Next, open the index_birthdays templates. Replace the contents with:
And that's it. It's all done.
If you want to change the width of either of the boxes, simple change the percentages (e.g 65%) to your desired value. You can also use px (e.g 350px). You know have a more streamlined and efficient Board Stats section on your index. +Rep if you found this useful.
