Hey guys,

I recently used the Vertex theme for a forum I run (I have to say, awesome job - looks great!), but I severely lack an understanding for CSS and was wondering if you could help me out.

As you'll notice, on the image below, the Child Boards quick-links run across the entire width of the forum. How would I go about setting it to a maximum width to where it goes the board statistics (posts + topics) or the end of the whiter area of it's adult board? Excuse my lack of proper terminology, but I am trying my best here :)



Is there anything that someone can suggest to help with that? It would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
David

Thanks for the pic ;)

So what you want to do is edit BoardIndex.template.php and change the colspan to 2 or 1 depending what you want.
Just find:
Code: [Select]
<td colspan="3" class="children windowbg">

Also, is there any way to change the wording of "Child Boards" to "Sub Boards"?

Yep.

I actually didn't figure it out, I quoted the wrong post (doh!). I meant to quote rachelGabri's post instead of my own.

So I'll still need help with this.

Cheers,
David

Yep, just edit $txt['parent_boards'] in languages/index.english.php in the default theme

Thanks once again, you've really helped me out.

I'm sure I'll have more questions down the road so I'll bookmark this forum :)

Is there any way to center the banner logo? The default "Vertex" logo is left-aligned on the forum (with 15px of padding), but I replaced it with my own banner and took out the padding (as you'll see below). It would be great, though, if I could somehow center it over the width of the forum, no matter the width of the monitor. Is that possible?

Here's a picture of the problem, see how it looks odd:



Also, how would I go about changing the banner_logo link to the forum instead of the home page (index.php)?
