.

You can do it this way .. but then it will be all over the board and not only your forum home ..

.ipsDataItem_lastPoster {
	display: none;
}

or can add something else with it .. need to find it ..

Let's say I'd do it this way. When an update comes out, will that override my changes in PHP and HTML or will they stay intact?

Depends on the update .. but yes .. it will be gone (IPS team also not advise you to edit this way ) .. but because there is still a minimum of documentation .. I like to plow through the code

use the custom.css code instead (above) .. that will stay intact after updates ..

add this to custom.css :

There seems to be a limit of 197 and not lower .. it gives a nice fit even with responsiveness of the page .. I guess it's okay ..

.cForumGrid {
	min-height: 197px !important;
}

I changed it to 10 but it still very tall. it actually didn't even decrease half its original height!

And I thought that space belonged to forum Description, but even when I added a description, that space WAS STILL THERE! so clearly it belongs to some other factor

I really would like to remove it

Yes .. seeing it .. still trying to shave empty space ..

It has this pre - render responsive layout calculation to lock in that space ..

If you see it on mobile or full website it's not looking that bad ..

There is a min-height setting .. if you set it to height (minus the "min-") that will force the height fixed .. but then you will see if you change browser window size that your description will go out of it's boundaries ..

try this one .. replace with the other one .cForumGrid ..

.cForumGrid {
	min-height: 150px !important;
    padding-bottom: 1px;
}

You don't wanna use description ?

I know there's nothing wrong with using description, but no I don't want to use it

update: this last code I changed 150 to 0 and it decreased it by half. But the other half is still there

.cForumGrid {
min-height: 150px !important;
padding-bottom: 1px;
}

there is a class named ipsPad .. but this class is used everywhere : padding of borders .. 15px each side .. so total will give you 30px space (height) ..

I only can remove this in the template .. but .. if you update your IPS then it will be lost again ..

That portion where the description is .. if none is set in the forum then it will take 0px automatically .. no problem there ..

The class name of that description portion is not named properly (only includes ipsPad) .. so I can't get it in CSS to remove it ..

only way: change template .. grab it in CSS .. and poooffffff gone ..

I don't get this

but if there really is no other way to completely remove it in CSS then it's fine

You can try, it's a tiny tweak :

in Templates :

Forums > front > index > forumGridItem

find this one :

<div class='ipsPad'>

change it to this :

<div class='ipsItemDescription ipsPad'>

in your custom.css :

.cForumGrid .ipsItemDescription {
	display: none;
}

That's it ..

explanation : the naming ipsItemDescription (gave it myself a name) was missing .. now in CSS you can do with that description area whatever you want .. in this case removing it ..

It is a tiny bug, it should be named properly ..

but like you said if I do this and then I update, it will be gone again right?

yes, correct .. will be gone .. I keep always a " to do " text file open with things like this, tweaks .. small memo's for small adjustments ..

I will report this later in the bug tracker .. it has to be named anyway ..
