[How To?] Scale Down my Board

[wigiman]

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?

[Conor C.]

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.
