We have a few read-only subforums that are used to document a dog club's standing rules, policies etc. In v5 is there a per-forum CSS (or other) approach to stripping everything but the title from those forums' topic lists?

Image is from our current v4 site; I'm looking ahead for solution for after we roll to v5.

I'm painfully aware this is the sort of thing Pages was ideal for but Pages is no longer an option for us.

Brute force it looks like .ipsData__meta, .ipsData__extra {display:none} will nuke the "started by" bit globally. Now to figure out correct selector and syntax to specify forum.

Snippet list view takes care of the stuff on the right. .ipsData--snippet-topic-list .ipsData__desc and .ipsData--snippet-topic-list .ipsData__icon nukes the snippet and avatar leaving a pretty clean list of topics. Almost home 🙂

OK, I think I'm good. An extra theme and theme override for the policy forums gets me where I need to be. I like the new theme editor.

One thing I may be missing or overlooking in v5 is how to make a child theme so that I can add just my few tweaks to it. Copying the main theme works OK but didn't bring theme resources (e.g., backgrounds) with it. May all my problems be this little 😃

There isnt a concept of child themes on version 5. Each theme is its own theme.
