Awesome mod, and thanks Tom for the info on how to change the title length.

I've just noticed somthing regarding W3C and CCS validation. While it validates OK in W3C. It doesn't in CSS.

The problem seems to be the use of this in the latestthreadbit template.

It's failing the validation, anybody got any idea what to use instead that will pass CSS

Here is the fix, change this:

Change this code to in the "forumhome_latestthreadbit" template.

To this:

It will then be both W3C and CSS valid

------------------------------

You can also add this code in the same template   to create a gap between the Thread Title and the Last Post details.

Look For:

Change to this:

Hi there, I'm looking for a hack just like this, for vB3.6.0 - but rather than have the thread appear at the bottom of the forumhome page, I'd like them listed in a coloum down the right-hand side of the page... Would this hack be easy to change for that purpose?

Thank you

This does work with vBulletin 6, I'm using it on my site. The problem with using it as a side column is the column width will not be wide enough to display all the details. So your better off sticking to a center block.

That is good to hear :)
But surely that's just a simple case of editing the html? Maybe start with the thread title, new line, date posted, new line, who posted, etc..

Maybe I'll have a play around with it tomorrow, see if I can get it working the way I want. :)

Yes, I guess you could just intruduce some <br /> into the lines.

I've successfully been able to edit the templates to achieve what I want, you can see the result here: http://theice.co.uk/ :D

I see, well done. I'm thinking you have removed some of the fields. But I'm wondering why you just didn't add some "<br />" in the right places to make the information drop below each other on its own line, so you could have kept a lot more fields displayed in the narrow column. Or did you only want displayed what you have: IE- thread title, time, name.

I decided that info such as number of views and posts were not that important. What was more important were details such as the thread title, when it was last updated, and who was the last to post to it, this would allow me to list more threads in the same ammount of space. I guess I could go back and add a 'title' tag to the title of the thread showing the number of posts and views.. *goes off to do that now*
