simple looking forums
 
i really do think that modern forums are a bit over the top on stuff, so i was wondering if anyone knows how i would go about simpligying it and using it as a default style, then having the normail one as an extra style for the more advanced forum users, i think Audio Galaxy has great looking and very simple (better on the bandwidth) forums. would this be hard to re-create?

Script a new message board php code :D? I think that if you have vBulletin, then it has to look a bit the same as everyone elses.

Doing a search on the word "simple," I found these threads.

#1. Simple postbit [link]

#2. A link to a very simple board [link]

I know I saw another board that was simplified to the extreme, but I couldn't find it.

The bottom line is that you'll simply have to remove a lot of things from vB to "simplify" it. Specifically, you'll need to remove graphics and keep elements to a minimum. The overall rule of thumb would be "if it's not integral to the forum, then delete it.

The links above should help to get you started. :)

Heck, if the Styles forum get's launched, I think I'll try my hand at this just to see how simple you can make it. Interesting.

Now that I think of it, just make everything except the text the same color! And then click on the link that mashby has supplied (the first one) and install that hack.

well i like them ideas, but i want it really simple, like as if it was a guestbook, i hope mashby that you do make a style for this, and why is their no styles forum? it would be great to have 1.

SaintDog is working on adding that to the fourms. It seems to be a popular idea. :)

Ok, just as I was about to call it a day and go to bed, I decided to take a stab at this Simple Style.

I've just started and only worked with the postbit and the show_thread templates thus far, but here's a screenshot of how it's coming along.

Is this what you're looking for? Comments welcome. :)

yeah thats great but couldn't you just get rid of the entire authort column and put the name where the subject and date is? but so far so good :D
