I am thinking of trying to do something to break out of the common look/mold of a forum, so it would require me to hide the categories/boards and rebuild it myself manually using HTML.

I started thinking about this, it would be neat to have something like:

Code:

Select All

 

<span id="boardid-posts"></span>

<span id="boardid-posts"></span>

 

To print the total posts of that board. So general could be general-posts

boardid-posts
boardid-thread
boardid-lastpostname
boardid-lastposttime
boardid-lastpostthread

etc

Is this not already possible using the templates system to create a custom Board Listing template? All those variables are available there:

{total_posts}
{total_topics}
{last_post_user}
{last_post_time}
{last_post_topic}

I want to go further then that system, like create a special table. I want each board's tds/trs be different, and I don't think I can do it with the current system.

Like for example I may want it like this:

board1td board2td board3td
board4td board5td
board6td board7td board8td board9td

Etc.
