What is it?: A mod that makes better use of the space in the extra info section of the main index, post list, show flat, and show threaded pages. It also gets rid of the space between the forums in the main index.

Why should I care?: Cause the default style sheets just aint cuttin' it

Who gets the props: JustDave for finding the errors in the original ubbthreads.tmpl file.

Demo: Da Forum

Instructions:

Back up your files first...

I editted my showflat and showthreaded templates to pull out a lot of "hard coded" spaces that were causing alignment errors with the edit, reply, and quote links prior to writing this mod. So, if you have installed a mode of your own in those two files just open up the ones I've provided and look for:

Code
 <br /><!-- Compact Extra Info Mod Start --> <br />


and

Code
 <!-- Compact Extra Info Mod End --> 


and cut and paste my script changes over the equivalent script in your showflat and showthreaded templates. If you haven't made any changes to your files then just use mine.

For the ubbthreads and postlist templates I've applied the same comments.

In the ubbthreads template I also removed lines 10 through 12 to get rid of the space between the forum categories. I also removed some "hard coded" spaces and a "hard coded" $tbclose.

If you have not made any edits to the files I've provided in this mod then just replace your files with mine (in your ubbthreads/templates/default directory).

Enjoy

Version 1.1: Moved the "Print Thread" link to make it more visable.

I didn't like the way the user and the number of registered users looked to unregistered veiwers, so I made a small change to the ubbthreads.tmpl file. The attachment in the first post has been updated.

LOL -close to thin ice on that one Nikos...

I'm not finished. AllenAyres has given me permission to port Bookies Blam to 6.2

No time table yet, cause I just don't have a lot of free time. I think I'll be able to post it by this coming Monday, but no promises.

Updated with a few improvements. My wife thinks the "Print Thread" link is great, but in it's default position most people would miss it, so I moved it to the menu bar that's just above the extra info block. You can see the effect on my site
