I really really love the design and simplicity of this template. Thanks for creating it and for sharing it.

I have a question that several users has asked before without any response to it.
Would it be possible to put the column, that includes "latest treads, forum stats, and another section", on the right side of the Categories rather than the left side?

My second question is about the charset. My discussion board is in french and relies on UTF-8 to render proprely. When going into a particular topic we see "User Title : blablabla , Join date : February 1999, Posts : xxx". My problem is about the Month that show up bad. So normaly it should be "F?vrier", but it shows up "f�vrier ". Where could I correct this?

Here's a look of my discussion board with the template. Please note that I needed it to be low contrast since it's a photography forum, so I took out the red.

Looking forward to your kind response,

As layout is tabular, you would have to move the column to the footer template, and paste all the code where the </td> of the main cell ends, which will cause the sidebar to appear on the right side. You'll need to know a little HTML to do so without getting lost.

Thanks

It sounds like you aren't following the proper forum hierarchy. It should be:

-CATEGORY
--FORUM
---SUBFORUM (if any)

Every forum needs to be beneath a category.
