I'd like to scale down my forum, so that users can see most categories without having to scroll down too much. I have no idea where to begin, from font sizing to spacing to god knows what else.
Any tips?
I think the best idea would be to use forum tabs.
Yea tabs or you can make them on sub-forums.
What are forum tabs and how do I use them?
Forum tabs is a plugin from MyBBCentral.com
Sorry to be such a pain, but I can't find forum tabs on MyBBCentral.com
So this plugin just adds tabs on the top to "organize" the forums? That's definitely not what I want. I simply want to "scale down" my forum by changing the spacing, and tables.
For example, my forum categories are way to fat, how can I change that?
ACP >> Templates & Style >> *yourtheme*
Scroll down to Table Spacing and reduce the number entered there.
You could also change the lastpost column to display on 2 lines instead of three.
ACP >> Templates & Style >> Templates >> Forum Bit Templates >> forumbit_depth2_forum_lastpost
Replace the last <br /> with a space.
