Formatting Ads Page

Is it possible to format the Ads page?  On the page builder, there is a page for ads, but it seems to be the page you see when you are looking at an individual ad, not the summary page for all ads.   It doesn't seem like they put much new thinking into the ads section - they are using the exact same category and subcategory listings and it doesn't seem to be related to the rest of the categories on the site.   I put in one major category and about 10 subcategories and it looks terrible - it tried to make two columns in that one block and everything wrapped in a really weird way.  If we can't format this page, could I request they at least make it so that there is just one subcategory per line in the blocks.

Here is a snap of the format issue I was trying to describe.  Note how it puts two category columns in the block - it looks terrible:

Without a doubt, this really needs to be a single colum display.

Thanks Houston, note also that unless I am missing something, there is no page builder for the ad homepage itself.  There is a builder, I think, for the page that describes an item, but right now we just have to accept the format for the ads page.  We had this in D6 right?  This is something I think should be added.

Looks like this was fixed in the last beta, but has now regressed.  I don't need to repost the image- even the sample items Boonex put in those little boxes look terrible.  Boonex - please - those boxes are much too small for two columns.

I am bumping this old post because I truly hope Boonex fixes this two column format in the ads - it looks awful.   They fixed this and then broke it again.   No need to make a new image because now it looks like it did back in the third beta.    Even if you just look at the sample categories that Boonex put in it looks terrible.  Please, please go back to the single column here.

I reopened the ticket.  Maybe it'll get fixed by RC 23

In templates/base/css/categories.css

Change:

.lcont_other div {
margin:3px 0px;
min-height:25px;
}


To:

.lcont_other div {
margin:3px 0px;
min-height:15px;
}

Thank you - I was going to ask if we could just do a simple mod for this.
