New Classifieds format

In any case I'm not a huge fan of that category block leaving so much dead space below it. I might realign it so it sits above or below the main list. This could clear up a lot of issues for people using smaller monitors.

Also might be worth allowing the page to use more of your screen as right now it has a rigid margin at the left and right that only goes fluid (i.e. collapses) on very small screens.

I will split out/duplicate this existing template and edit it for you guys to try out over the weekend. I'll let you know when it's done and you can take a look.

Also worth mentioning that the category options will still collapse on mobile etc. - this is basically a fix for the issue Jedi and you were having with all the whitespace being used up by the sidebar.

 
I believe it should look like that regardless of the 'categories' sidebar on mobile.

The forums collapse to 3 different sizes (desktop, tablet and mobile). Mobile the categories don't show at all (just a 'browse categories button') but on tablet it tries to squeeze the sidebar in and - as a result - leaves no space for titles. Desktop has this issue also at lower resolutions, but both now should display the menu below all the content instead of in a side bar.

Suppose what I'm saying is that on mobile you shouldn't be noticing a difference right now :S

Much better. Thanks.

Just realised the theme was locked to admin/mods only. Should be in the menu at the footer of the page now.

The difference that you should notice is that on the current theme (i.e the one that I didn't just make an hour ago) will have no category selector at all (by virtue of the sidebar being temporarily disabled). The new one has categories displayed underneath the listings and may be collapsed to just 'browse categories' (depending on your screen size). In any case (desktop, mobile, tablet) there will be no sidebar for the next 24 hours. If we stick with this change, I'll remove the sidebar altogether and replace it with the navigation at the bottom.

I can’t tell the difference between the themes lol, but it looks much better thank you

 
Scroll down when viewing a category. You'll notice there's a menu (or a link to the category menu if you're on a small enough screen).

Basically the idea is to keep the menu somewhere, but not in the sidebar where it uses up way too much room.
