How to adjust field widths

[kinook]

On the forum home page and forum display page, how can I make the first column (Forum) narrower and the 2nd column (Last Post) wider (see screen shot)? Thanks.

in FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY templates find:


<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>


and Replace it with

<td class="thead" width="65%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="35%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>


change width 65+35=100 to what ever fit to your forum

Thanks, that's a little better, but the last post title is still truncated with ... at the same length, leaving only more whitespace after it.

That is from a setting, it has nothing to do with the width of the box (well, mostly...) - vboptions > forum listings display options > Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters

Excellent, thank you both.
