Yea, it's a damn shame there has to be a category for each manufacturer. :rolleyes:

Very clean and professional appearance. The only question I have is why there is a large gap between new posts and new articles in the sidebar. You have to scroll down quite a way to know the new articles module is there. Is that intentional or is something else (like your QuickLinks module) causing that gap?

It's just an opinion but I think if you could fix that issue your layout would be perfect.

hey, many thanks for your reply.
any idea how i could solve the "many category" thing in a more clean way so that users won't get hit by the amount of forums? Any help is welcome :)



The large gap is caused due to a skyscraper banner, which probably wont show on your computer due to adblock?



Thanks for the good feedback, I am going to optimize my forum with this feedback :)

If you really want a clean look you can always hide the forum categories entirely and have only Navigation Tabs or Quick Links. That would shorten your index page considerably.

The thing is you have a considerable number of members and you don't want to make sweeping changes that will confuse them or cause them to stop visiting. For your site I think the auto manufacturer's logos are self explanatory but maybe you want to give it a try on a test forum and see how it looks to you before going live with that much change.

I really like that idea and I will try to realize that!
Many thanks! :)

You should give the cat obove Alfa Romeo a title like "Auto-Marken"...

then (just for Audi Forum) put this css to your additional css template:

#forum3 + .subforum-list + .category-header {
display: none;
}

You need the forumid before the category header and put together #forum + that id.

Hope that helps.

And I thought I had alot for forums on my board.

First you should look into your forum-list view. Thats a little displaced.

what do you mean with displaced?

I guess sooner or later I need a pro for some design stuff :/

Was a cache-error or anything else. Dipslacements are gone... looks nice again. Did you try my css?

[Zweeper]

No, you were right, that was a "bug" within the vbulletin 5 ad-modules.
Thanks for the hint :)



I will try your CSS within the next couple of days and will report back here :)


Many thanks!

Just gave it a try, but I think it wont make it better regarding a clear design.
Would be nice to show only the main forum name there and hide the sub-categories. Is that possible in any way?




Greetings!

Hide subforum of a channel (replace number by forumID)

#forum22 + .subforum-list {

display: none;

}

[Zweeper]

danke, das wirkt jetzt viel übersichtlicher!

[delicjous]

danke, das wirkt jetzt viel ?bersichtlicher!

W?rde noch ?bersichtlicher wirken wenn die ganzen leeren Kategorien weg w?ren.

Would look a lot cleaner without all the empty category-headers:

Look at post #11:

#forum3 + .subforum-list + .category-header {
display: none;
}
#forum22 + .subforum-list + .category-header {
display: none;
}
#forum23 + .subforum-list + .category-header {
display: none;
}

many thanks indeed, it just looks better now (but only for the car forums without sub forums). BIG THANKS TO YOU! :) That was some good and useful advice :)
