So when using the "Articles" database in pages, I have a choice to display the index page so that it looks more like a blog and less like a forum: 

Could contain: Text

That's great. 

However if I go to a category, then all articles are shown as one list, more like a forum, and no longer like a blog. 

Is there an easy way to change the view of a category so that it gives me a more of a blog like view just like for the database index? 

Thanks!

No, there is not.  The listing templates work differently than the frontpage templates, so there is no easy way to show the listing view like the frontpage view. 
I once offered this as a free product, but I think it is now deactivated because it was not marked as compatible for newer versions.

Thank you. That's really too bad! 😔

Please feel free to post this up as a suggestion if you wish to see something like this in a future release

Is this something that would be doable by customizing the template file, or is it going to be a complex endeavor? 

@opentype would actually be a good person to answer that question, as he mentioned above he has done this

Yes, it is doable, but it requires some experience. It’s not like you can just copy some template code over. 

I can send you the template via PM and you can see if it still works. I would expect it too, but it hasn’t been updated in 4 years. So, I am not sure.
