What is it?: A set of templates that reduce the size of the post, reply, and edit pages.

Why would you care?: You can almost make a post without touching the scroll bar at 1024 x 768 resolution. These templates will definitely reduce the amount of scrolling that you have to do to make or change a post.

Instructions: Go to your ubbthreads/templates/default directory and back up newpost.tmpl, newreply.tmpl, and editpost_nopoll.tmpl. Then copy the templates I've provided in the file attached to this post.

Enjoy

Version 1.1 attached. I have a pull down menu for post icons, but most people do not so I moved them.

Sounds nice, do you have a demo or screenshot?

On my site I've moved the Instant boxes to the right of the textarea and put them horizontally, which saves some space. I don't have the post icons either and it fits nicely into my 1600x1200 screen with room to spare, so maybe it fits in 1024x768 as well, I'm not sure.

Screen shot attached

Keep in mind that I have a drop down menu for the post icons, so the page will look different for someone who doesn't use a drop down menu.

Maybe I should release my posting page template. But I think it requires a little hacking as well, to make the Instant-boxes show horizontally. My templates also includes Help links going to relevant areas of the FAQ.

Also if you want to turn your post icons into a pull down menu then install this hack by JoshPet. BTW: Excellent work on that one Josh!
