Share Your Asean Now Home Page Layout Hacks.

[BeastOfBodmin]

I am not sure if this is the correct forum. I didn't want to put it in the Support Forum, as I am not asking for support.

 

This is in response to this closed thread in the support forum. I found the support forum while trying to find out how to customise the layout. Searching for how to customise got nowhere - even trying both customiSe and customiZe.

I was looking for ways to rearrange the default layout on the home page, but I couldn't find a layout editor as such. By pointing and clicking in various ways (then forgetting how I got to some places), I came up with this alternative arrangement that at least banishes the popular contributors. The other side effects may not appeal, but here goes anyway. Maybe other nerds have their own hacks they could share?

 

First, Select "Fluid"

 

How is that for an uncluttered view?

 

The right hand side now consists in a list of forums/ sub-forums. Click the box next to the forum name and it appears on the left. Search the page if you don't like scrolling.

 

Click on "Unread Content"...

 

 

...To get a way to filter and display unread content since your last visit.

 

 

To go back to the uncluttered view, click on "Forums" at the top & to the right of the ASEANNOW logo.

 

Click on some forum names to display posts from that forum. If you select multiple forums the posts by default are merged and sorted by date. You can change this by clicking on "SORT BY".

BE WARNED.

 

IF you choose to mess with the layout, don't remember how you did what, you may well screw it up entirely and you are stuck with that result or you'll have to sort it out yourself.

Can't you reset your browser or something?  Or is the change attached to your login?

To get back to the defaults, you can click on the ASEAN NOW logo

 

 

Then click on this icon.

 

 

If you've already changed the defaults, I can't help you to get back to that setup.
