Question

The look of the new forums has been tamed

After applying the various scripts and Adblock page elements blocking, the new forums look very, very good: <br /> <br />c <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1kh7PYdJTceOSrCTQRbaifku3nd7ke1" /></a> <img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1kh7PYdJTceOSrCTQRbaifku3nd7ke1_thumb.jpg" border="0" /> <br />c Forum Index Page <br /> <br />c <a href="http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1415Q4LZA1vpwD2HcpwBMdXhf5WjU" /></a> <img alt="Picture hosted by Pixentral" src="http://www.pixentral.com/hosted/1415Q4LZA1vpwD2HcpwBMdXhf5WjU_thumb.jpg" border="0" /> <br />c Forum Thread page <br /> <br /> No more avatars, no more "More Stuff Like This" cr@p, no more Community Experts labels, no more Popular Discussions, no more Top Participants, no more points ratings, no more total numbers of posts for each user, no more nonsense. <br /> <br /> My warmest thanks to Eric, Mark and Zenor, who provided the scripts and blockfilters for this excellent workaround.

    Ramón,

    It seems we have lost all links to how. Can you repost, please?

    Reading Jive's own forums and others in Jive format, providing a proper "read tracking" system seems to be a common request - unsurprisingly.

    Yes, I might not be around after the change. ;)

    No, he just posted that he had submitted it to them as a feature request and it's "presumably in the que"or words to that effect.

    > still a lot of wasted space on the index page. do we need the "last post" column?

    That column can also be blocked instantaneously with Adblock, but I don't know whether the space can be reclaimed or not. In any event, I do find that column useful for the reason Kath mentions.

    I hope afplonk can be tailored to the new forums.

    Page loading time over there is not an issue here anymore. It's slightly faster than over here. The script hacks do not add any appreciable time to the displaying of a page on screen. They don't take any longer than the plonking script here, a tiny fraction of a second, and well worth it.

    What is glacially slow is the posting and replying process, and the scripts are not involved in that in the least.

    >has anyone contacted jive to see if there's the possibility of a workaround for that one?

    John Cornicello has.
