Edit the look of redirect board title

[transoxiana]

Hi there!

I was wondering, if there's a way to get the title of the redirect board to act like the titles of the general boards?

I've centered all my board titles, but the redirect title ends up far more to the right.

I've tried to play around with it myself, but I am NOT good at coding xD

Thank you in advance!

Pictures have no coding, so there's no way for us to tell what is causing this.

Can you provide a URL? Moving forward, if you're asking for help with your forum, please provide a URL in your opening post (:

Kami, sorry 'bout that, the url is THIS. I've experienced it with different proboards sites before, so I guess I thought of it as a general issue, rather than a specific one for my forum (:

No worries! Even if it is a 'generic' issue (which you're correct, it is, and I will explain why below) it's always good to provide a forum URL because there's no telling what sort of customisations you've made to it to impact the issue and/or the solution.

So, onto the issue at hand.

Technically​, there's nothing wrong with what's happening. Both are correctly centred. The reason that, visually, it appears incorrect is that the redirect boards are one cell​ in table row, whereas a board cell is actually one of four​ cells in a table row. So when centring content in a board cell, it will be centred within the confines of the size of the cell; if the cell only takes up a fraction of the table width, it will be in a different place than if the cell takes up the entirety of the table width.

You can change this by using a margin​ instead of centring the text in redirect boards.

How are you currently centering text for the boards? Via the Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Visual Editor​​​​​​​​​​​​ tab, or from the Stylesheet tab? Or within the board name directly with UBBC? Or within the layout templates?

Kami, aahh, thanks for claring that up! It actually makes sense! (:

Currently, I'm centering the board titles within the board name directly with UBBC - as UBBC is, what I'm most comfortable with still, so that's the easiest for me =)

If you navigate to
Admin Home> Themes> Layout Templates> then click Board, then click the Board List tab, the bottom section of that template should look like this:

			{else}
				<tr id="$[board.content_id]" class="$[board.content_class]">
					<td class="icon">$[board.icon]</td>
					<td class="main clickable redirect last" colspan="4">
						<span class="link">$[board]</span><br />
						<p class="description">$[board.description]</p>
					</td>
				</tr>
			{/if}
		{/foreach}
		{if !$[board]}
			<tr class="last"><td class="last center" colspan="5">No boards were found.</td></tr>
		{/if}
	</tbody>
</table>

If you change the colspan to 1 (I've highlighted the current value of 4 in yellow) your redirect boards will center on the same point as your normal boards and sub-boards.  Be sure to click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.

Since you aren't using borders around those table cells we won't need to address that.

Retread, works like a charm, thank you so so much!
