It is quite easy to compress the left column in the vertical frames display by using a local style sheet. This makes using the full (default) thread view much nicer.

IE5 sets the user style sheet at "Tools-Internet_Options-General-Accessibility-User_style_sheet". Use the browser to get the correct full path it needs.

The following lines should be saved as a text file named "risto.css" in, say C:\Temp, and the browser set to use this style sheet:

/* Stylesheet for Kayakforum indexes */
/* Copyright 2001 Risto */

dd { margin-left:2ex; }

/* End of stylesheet */

This will obviously compress all other D-lists viewed with the same browser, but those tend to be rare and compressing should not hurt, anyway.

Originally I asked Nick to implement this at the server, by inserting the same definition in the text file defining the "Meta" keywords seen in the source of every forum page.

I intended this small improvement as my Xmas present for the community on this board, but obviously I missed "Saint Nick's" sled .

But as is, those of you who are interested can see how it works, by following the above tips.

Happy 2002 everybody!
