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?

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.

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. ![]() |
