No it did what I thought it would do after looking at your code changes, it put each item in it's own seperate column sideways and looked a right mess. You went along the same lines as me in your thinking. But it doesn't work that way I'm afraid. You just finish up with either more columns than you want, or the threads repeat each other if you try the same method using the $threadbit and more alts in the forumhome box code.
