Removing "blank" space between threads/posts

[Gimpymoo]

Can someone please advise on what needs to be changed to reduce "blank" space.

For example:

Thank you.

You could simply add this custom.css:

.cTopicList .ipsDataItem_main {
    padding: 5px 10px;
}

.cTopicList .ipsDataItem_main, .cTopicList .ipsDataItem_stats, .cTopicList .ipsDataItem_lastPoster, .cTopicList .ipsDataItem_generic, .cTopicList .ipsDataItem_modCheck, .cTopicList .ipsDataItem_icon {
    display: table-cell;
    padding: 5px 10px;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

It looks like this:

Very useful, thank you. Worked a treat.

Can the same be applied to the forum list too?

Glad it worked out for you.

Indeed it can be applied with this rules.
First the forum icon has a different spacer so reduce it with this rule:

.cForumList .ipsDataList_large .ipsDataItem_icon {
    padding: 10px;
    min-width: 55px;
}

 

The general spacing can be reduced with this:

.cForumList .ipsDataList_large .ipsDataItem_main, .cForumList .ipsDataList_large .ipsDataItem_stats, .cForumList .ipsDataList_large .ipsDataItem_lastPoster, .cForumList .ipsDataList_large .ipsDataItem_generic {
    padding: 5px 10px;
}

You can adjust on the last snippet the first number in order to allow more or less space.

It does look like this:

Oh mate, thank you again, superstar

In my quest to remove more "wasted" space, anyone know how to reduce space on category titles as below:

Thanks.

[GriefCode]

You could use this query:

.cForumTitle.ipsType_sectionTitle {
	padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px;
}

This will look like this:

Thank you.

That looks soo much tidier.

No idea why they do not use that as the default layout, although I understand it is subjective.

Are there any resources I can look at so not having to pester here when needing to change stuff.

I have looked around but info seems scarce

[GriefCode]

Well basically there arent ressources as this is CSS and this can be always a different selector.  And i assume you have no or only minor knowledge on CSS.

So keep asking, i mean what is this forum else for?
