Is There A Way To Change The Format of How The Forum Looks On The Main Page?

I like how the Forum looks on the Forum pages, but it is not the same look when you add it as a Feature to the Main page. Is there a way using css codes or an option to just load the Forum page to the main page. This is so frustrating. Why do things have to be so complicated. It looks one way on the Forum page and looks completely different on the Main page!! Any help would be appreciated!!

One of the main things I would like to do is increase the line spacing between comments on the main page. The comments are two close together. This is just for the Main page on the site. The Forum page spacing is fine. Here is a link as to how it looks now!!  http://adamlambertstorm.com/

This "Advanced CSS" code should add more padding between each forum listing on home page:

.xg_widget_main_index .module_forum .vcard {
    margin-bottom: 1.8em;
/* a bottom border might be nice */
    border-bottom:1px solid #e6e6e6;
/* a little extra padding */
    padding:10px!important;
}
Best Regards,
Jen

Jen,

I love you. It looks so great now. I know I am pushing this and you can just ignore, But I have two more questions:

1. I want to to change the title of the box from Forum to Adam Storm Discussion Forum. Is there a way to do that. Is it somewhere under Language?

2. Is it possible to create an additional Feature Box for the Forum on the Main page? I would like to also have a box that would just show the Forum By Categories!

Thanks again. I so appreciate your helping me with this and am so glad I signed up at your site. Barbara


Barbara,

Can't help you with #2.

#1. You can change it via Language Editor. Or you can change using Advanced CSS:

.xg_widget_main_index .module_forum .xg_module_head h2:before {content:"Adam Storm Discussion ";}

 

Best Regards,

Jen

Jen,

Again, Thank you so much #1 worked perfectly!!

Hi Jen,

I am back with another question. I went to the main Discussion page and did a page source view in my browser and copied the code relating to the Forum categories and pasted it in a text box (see a capture below). This created a table. I would like to use padding and make the light borders solid white. I also need to manually update the Number of Discussions and make the Activity pretty general. Is there a way to get this to automatically update. I know this is out of the box and crazy but can it be done?

The Featured Forum Box listing of the Discussion Thread on the Main page looks just the way I want so do not want to mess with that (see below). I wanted to show both the Category view on the Main Discussion page in a text box right above the Featured Forum Box on the main page.Any help would be appreciated. It is so frustrating sometimes not to be able to do what you want!!  Barbara

This little bit of code does wonders, thanks Jen.
