As you can see, I've recently adjusted the order of ' 'Threads' 'Posts' and 'Last Post'. Now I have two problems:

1) The 'Threads' and 'Posts' tables aren't the same size.
2) The 'Last Post' is all scrunched up in the corner.

Guys at vBulletin.com told me to adjust the Main Table width, but that didn't work.

Thanks.

Apply percentage widths to all of the columns, however you want to.

Where do I apply that?

In the FORUMHOME template. Just add, to the <thead> columns:

width="__%"

Tried that with various sizes, and nothing changed on the main page. :/

Really? Then how come even on here the boxes are equal in size despite different character lengths?

^ Here's an example. Everything's all balanced.

Do as I said in my post, with all of the columns (except for perhaps the first one that is just "&nbsp;") having percentages as widths. Then in the template forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, make the forum description/name forum have a width of 100%. This will give you the effect you desire, as I have it working on my board.

Wahey, I did it.

Thanks again, GM. I owe you a coke.
