This is my first vB template hack to be released, So enjoy it and i hope it helps some people out! :)

In your FORUMHOME template find:
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</tr>
</table>

Replace with:
<!-- MichaelJM's vB Template hack -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</table>

Hello,,

Thanks nice hack :)

but I have one small question :

Why does the code have :
</table>
</table>
twice ?

when I remove one of them, it shows the table with no 100% width !!

This has been on my list of things to do for a while. I hated all that extra blanks space at the foot of my page. Drove me nuts. (Cause I am a picky sod). Thanks bunches!

Thanks for releasing this little modification... it's improved my style. I had to make some changes for it to fit in with my style though (basically I just removed the class="tborder" part from the table tag, and moved the log out code to the footer template).

thanks

just installed and looks much better - had to change code to make it 100% width and to move the log out below though but looks much cleaner

I did pretty much this exact thing (without an explicit css class for the table border), I came to this forum to see if I could get away with releasing it first. Well, beaten to it. :(

This should be part of the VB core IMO, it's such a waste of space otherwise.

Maybe you can release something like this for the forumdisplay page, instead of the forumhome. ;)

I've figured something out for the forumdisplay template icon key, as far as I can see, it works on my site, but feel free to improve it if you will.

Find in the FORUMDISPLAY template:

<!-- icon key -->
<if condition="$show['threadslist']">
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">$vbphrase[new_posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['usehotthreads']">
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread_hot_new.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$vboptions[hotnumberposts]" 2="$vboptions[hotnumberviews]">$vbphrase[more_than_x_replies_or_y_views]</phrase>" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">$vbphrase[hot_thread_with_new_posts]</td>
<else />
<td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>
</if>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/thread.gif" alt="$vbphrase[no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">$vbphrase[no_new_posts]</td>

Hope you didn't mind me putting it in this thread rather than start a new one, as it relates to the icon key anyway.

Got a question, I can't find the code

<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_new.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_new_posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old.gif" alt="$vbphrase[contains_no_new_posts]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_contains_no_new_posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_old_lock.gif" alt="$vbphrase[a_closed_forum]" border="0" /></td>
<td class="smallfont">&nbsp; $vbphrase[forum_is_closed_for_posting]</td>
</tr>
</table>

in any of my skin, and I'm running 3.0.8.
