XF 1.3 Sub-Forum list displayed vertically?

[Emil JaBo]

Hi,

I have a forum that has 10 sub-forums. These are set so as to be displayed as a list below the parent node. At the moment there are displaying as a list horizontally across the page. I would like them to display as a vertical list below the parent node. I presume this is possible and that I have missed a setting somewhere. Could someone please explain how to change it to a vertical list?

Thanks

The check box should be checked.

Thanks for your reply Andy. The vertical list displayed in the pop up is exactly what I want but without the pop-up. I want the sub-forum list to permanently display as a vertical list below the parent node without having to use the pop-up to display the list. Any ideas?

So this is not possible unless I use a mod?

This can be achieved with CSS

.nodeList .node .subForumList li {
    float: none;
}

Thanks Sheldon, that is exactly what I require. Being a total noob, where exactly do I copy/paste that CSS code if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Sheldon]

Go to your templates and post that in Extra.CSS

Wow, as easy as that. Works/looks great. Thanks

How about divide it by two columns?

Also, if I have really long sub forum title names. Is there a way to stop the titles length from clipping to: (...) ?

.nodeList .node .subForumList li {
     width: 48%;

On the default style, it works fine. The limit is 50 characters, as shown in last sub-forum.

Thanks, it must be my custom style then because it's clipping at 39 characters.
