Styling the forum index page

[rgilman]

This is the page that lists the topics in the forum. I've done some work on this page that's in PR #85 .

Before this work, the page looked like this:

---

After the work, it looks like this:

---

Still to be done: adding tags in with each topic listing and creating a system for filtering – but this can wait for later.

Let me know if you see anything that might be changed at this stage.

Definitely seems to be an improvement!

Certainly feels better! I'm surprised that the "Create New Topic" button was not on the previous version. Useful addition.

If there's no need to repeat the group name, then we could use the first occurrence to indicate our current location within the context of that group - in this example, the forum. If we replace the word "Create" with + it seems to say the same thing with less words.

Good point about the repeat of the group name. We need to coordinate what happens on this page with the various other pages in the group's section. I expect that will mean keeping the upper version of the group name. We could just have the large title be "Forum Index" like this:

The highlighted menu items in the header provide current location supplemented by the group name and then the page name within the group's section.

I'm neutral on + New Topic. @iangilman and @DavidScottBernstein, thoughts?

[iangilman]

I like the + ... I think it's a common convention these days.

[rgilman]

I've made the change to + in the latest push to master.

Thanks for the heads up!
