Unity Forums V2 : Custom CSS

An article by mgear    2 Comments

New unity forums are quite too messy for me (so much useless info, buttons, links, every font is different size etc..)
Had to make custom css (using Stylish firefox plugin)

This is not for everybody..personally I use the “New Posts” page everytime, so most modifications are currently there.

Custom CSS source: (still work in progress, check the source later again)

Some notes whats modified and why:
– Removed the whole search bar (google is better) and there is another search thing on top already..
– Removed “Forums Members” links, theres atleast 3 forums links there already.. and no need to check members ever.
– Removed that gray top bar under Home > Forums, including that extra forum tools arrow button..
– Moved “New Posts” on left (like in the old version..)
– Made forum title “New Posts” font much smaller
– Cleaned up the threads list (really dont want the last poster name to be that huge, just want to see when last post was made and click that)
– Paging numbers, removed background colors, adjusted fonts
For the invidual thread view:
– Added post borders
– More margin on left (so that lines are not too long)
– Added old background gradient
– Added some margin between posts
– Moved username on top
– “Reply” > “Reply with quote” (like in old version)
– Adusted font sizes, colors

Still many other things to fix..so feel free to post comments or fork the sources.
