A new thread for my wee general discussion website - Idle Chatter - which I've spent some time customizing over the past few years. The site is based on the Nova theme by Pixel Exit with a few customizations here and there.
A large part of the site runs off excellent addons by @Bob - Showcase, Articles, Blogs, Classifieds, Link Directory and the guys on the site also have Sportsbook and Pickem for their sporting interests.
And a number of addons by @Ozzy47 and the team at OzzModz including the various Thread Starter addons, private threads, competition threads, spaminator addons and numerous others that make life my admin life a little easier.
And some excellent addons from @BassMan, again making my life easier and enhancing the site.
I've customized most of the site to my own liking (and that of my members, hopefully)
The forum index...

Thread lists look different depending what you are browsing, traditional threads have been simplified a little
![threadlist1.jpg threadlist1.jpg](https://xenforo.com/community/data/attachments/279/279935-c124d40f086db13de287e96b511b7f63.jpg)
And the thread starter lists (movies, tv shows, video games and music albums) have all been converted to grid layouts
![threadlist2.jpg threadlist2.jpg](https://xenforo.com/community/data/attachments/279/279936-9828874843bfbe8c075d3f03e0415bc2.jpg)

The majority of Bob's addons are all customized to look similar too, Showcase has been turned into a recipe book

And Articles, Blogs, Link Directory and Classifieds all have similar tiled layouts with little customizations
![articles.jpg articles.jpg](https://xenforo.com/community/data/attachments/279/279938-4a6eafd87c436ea883ed743f1a7392b8.jpg)

And areas of the site like profiles and posts have also had a makeover
