[RFC|Merged] Last topic title in forum list

[MaFeSa]

Maybe its just me, but I think those topic titles would look better in BOLD. Right now, they just kind of disappear and just add visual noise. If they were BOLD, they would stand out a better and have better impact.

Example:

I agree, looks a lot better. Want to create a ticket and send a PR?

Done:

http://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-11025

But without bold is more elegant

I would file a bug report but nothing is loading today, but with one line forum descriptions it looks awful, they should be vertical aligned: http://cl.ly/image/2z3W3u2r1Q0z

I also think that they should be truncated using CSS: currently if I make the browser window small it wraps and looks a bit silly, and if I make it really wide it's being truncated unnecessarily early.

Sorry for not saying this when the PR was open, it was one of the PRs I never looked at.

callumacrae the align looks good to me, however the truncate via CSS sounds like a good idea

[callumacrae]

I think that the icon should be next to the text. Hate vertical align, or I would get a comparison for you xD

[MaFeSa]

Does not make sense to keep also the icon
However, without bold is more clear...

[callumacrae]

I meant the forum name and read icon

[MaFeSa]

I meant ... why keep also the read icon if it is sufficient click on the title?

Guys, is there a quick hack I can use to integrate this into a live forum while the final code is being straightened out?

[tbackoff]

This is not 3.1's implementation, but you could follow the instructions in this KB article for 3.0.x.

Will that method result in more strain on MySQL than this one?
