Add margin to the top of the breadcrumbs please.

Ten pixels makes all the difference:

Agreed. 

Then have a think about font sizes, default fonts and margins across the whole forum. At the moment we have margins and fonts that manage to make everything look cramped despite the acres of whitespace around them and a layout that highlights trivial things (like post counts on a thread) in great big letters, whilst putting important things (like breadcrumbs and other navigation links in little tiny letters.

Then we have a badly thought out menu structure at the top with... you guessed it, more wasted space, and an utterly pointless and space-consuming forum stats and member list at the bottom. Unless the forum has a hidden chat feature that I'm not aware of, in which case being able to see who's on in real-time might be at least somewhat useful.

I thought things couldn't get much worse after the last forum 'upgrade'. I thought wrong.

And tags, which practically nobody uses, are now Really In Your Face!  (And no, encouraging people to use tags is not a good idea.  Tag systems are rarely moderated and you always end up with seven tags meaning the same thing when they aren't.)

@ManeTI, can tags be turned off? Meaning these things:

They're not useful for finding threads, since there's no consistent convention for their use, so they essentially act as another label in addition to the title.

The new theme certainly isn't good-looking or more readable but Squad honestly isn't going to change it; there's no money in it or for it, I can pretty much guarantee that.

I'm just asking for a simple CSS change so that the site looks better and makes plain that the breadcrumb is important (I use it all the time). The rest of it, while muddy and ill-defined, still works okay and looks consistent for the most part.

Yeah, at the time of writing, the top breadcrumb bar is not too easy to get to, especially when there's the different forum tab bars above.

[regex]

Guys ... please ... the lack of margin is killing me, site looks like crap.

[Poodmund]

The maintaining of this forum has not been getting the love that it deserves for quite a while now, sans updating to new IPB packages. I wouldn't hold your breath, Regex.

I fully agree with the sentiments of this topic though.

When it comes to Squad and KSP I rarely do.

Hi guys, I have added the 10 px to the margin and tweaked a little bit the colors for the tags.

Thank you and it is appreciated, however, I think adding the constant 10px margin to .ipsBreadcrumb > ul has now shifting the whole breadcrumb list over to the right:

... whereas before (see OP) it was aligned with the rest of the elements. From a professional Webmaster standpoint, I guess this should be fixed... from a voluntary community website standpoint, I guess it may not be worth the time?

You are right, will see what can be done

[Poodmund]

Just changing the .ipsBreadcrumb > ul CSS from margin: 10px; to margin-top: 10px; should work fine.

Thank you for the change, believe it or not that really helps with my user experience.

Now if you could just fix this, we'll be golden...

 

...oh and your breadcrumbs are still out of align (indent) for me.

Hi, I think all should be good now
