    Alright, had a tinker and this is what the thread view looks like so far.

    This is the best so far. I would be willing to redesign the forum but only EG would be willing to change it. I'm not going to do it just for laugh.

    I ditched the entire sidebar on both the thread and the forum view because it's basically useless and the forum view in particular takes up far too much realestate for very little functionality. Only the search bar needs saving, and that could easily live next to the category dropdown.

    Also I dunno how to make people's names bigger, changing one doesn't change all as they're sequentially numbered, probably for permalinking.

    #content ul.list li div.poster div a
    is the selector you need!

    Mine is desktop too, but it works on mobile as well. Mostly.

    ed: cheers, that's the ticket!

    Here we are, it's a light version, the grey was a little much.

    Desktop version, it's quirky on mobile but I'd be interested to see what it looks like on a phone. Not sure how to test that yet, but I think tampermonkey is on android as well. Will play later on.

    Chrome has a responsive mode (in the developer tools click the icon that looks like a phone infront of a sheet of paper) then you will be able to choose different phone models or set custom resolutions which should *mostly* render accurately

    edit: just realised as you said its quirky on mobile you've probably done that already

    I didn't know that actually, thanks. Only problem is it doesn't load the stylebot script when I use it.

    Looks nice! Still needs a search box on the main page to stop shit threads but guess that can’t be achieved with CSS

    You can use it yourself, get the stylebot extension for chrome and paste my linked code into it's edit css window.

    @Dirtbox I use my work computer and they don't allow chrome extensions :(

    My biggest problem is the way this extension shits out code is horrendous, I can't get it to work with anything else.

    Aaand, I think I'm finished. If anyone wants to play with it, I'd happily accept criticism.

    with tampermonkey you could redirect the current search bar to use your forum search instead

    edit: possibly :D

    Be my guest. If you could incorporate my changes in a script that doesn't pop a million warnings into tamper, and redirect the top logo to the home page as well as throw my search in there it would be a thing to behold.

    @Dirtbox will give it a go tomorrow. Your CSS wont be an issue at all though.

    Can you make the forum front page, and any thread pages, infinite scroll? Clicking on the next page is a pain.

    You'd probably need to start the thread from the last post, at the top. Can you get to work on that please.
  • Deleted user 21 March 2018 16:40:20
    I'm trying out Dirtbox's style now. My eyes feel confused because all the text isn't squeezed into the middle third of the screen. I've got this far into my post and it's only just going onto a new line.

    This is much better.

    That's always been the beauty of it. Log into it at work and no one raises and eyebrow.
