For what it's worth, the body tag (in the HTML) has a class which indicates the page type. For example, this page has the following body tag:

<body class="lia-board ForumTopicPage lia-body" id="lia-body">

In this case, the page type is 'ForumTopicPage'.

 

You can use this in a few ways:

  1. You can use it to work out what a given page type is on the community.
  2. You can create CSS rules that are specific to the page type (just have body.ForumTopicPage in the selector).
  3. You can use it in the jQuery select, e.g.
    $('.ForumTopicPage .BoardBrowserListTaplet .CategoryListDisplay')

Depending on what you're trying to do, this can sometimes negate the need for custom logic.
