Cleaning Up MyBB Community Forums Theme

[spork985]

The MyBB staff are doing a fantastic job on the new MyBB 1.8 release. I'm very excited to download and be able to use it myself. However, let's face it, not everybody is a fan of the new theme. This isn't a problem at all when hosting your own forum because you can always change it. It be comes a problem when it's used as the theme for the MyBB Community Forums. This tutorial will allow you to clean it up a little with a few minor css tweaks.

For Chrome:
1) Install the TamperMonkey extension.
2) Click the TamperMonkey icon in the top right, it should be immediately to the right of the address bar.
3) Select "Add a new script"
4) Copy and paste the code below in to the editor and save
5) Reload the forums and you should be good to go.

$("head").html($("head").html().replace("http://community.mybb.com/cache/themes/theme3/global.min.css", "https://t1hosting.com/otherfiles/mybb/global.min.css"));
$("head").html($("head").html().replace("http://community.mybb.com/cache/themes/theme1/css3.min.css", "https://t1hosting.com/otherfiles/mybb/css3.min.css"));

Here's what it will look like afterwards. Again, just a few small tweaks that make it look much nicer.

Not bad. Best of both worlds. I'm not a fan of the theads either.

Good job. I think I'll stick to the new theme for a while and see if it wins me over which I think will be the case .

If not, I'll give this a try .

Maybe be usefull but you can do more things with both bases i prefer clean templates so i have to see how it works.

Thanks
