I just want let you know that in few days I will release a new version (1.5), change log:
- optimization of the code
- no more one column with 50% width - fixed completely
- the hack works now with categories which act as forum
- rss / subscribe icons no more overflow the text
- due to the css changes, the new version doesn't support IE 7 and lower (the mod will automatically disabled in those versions) - will be fixed in next version
Maybe will be include in this version
- option to disable the mod automatically in low resolutions
Unfortunately, the gap "bug" still not fixed.
As I suggest before, for now re-order the categories and set side by side categories which have similar amount of forums to avoid the gap.
I hope find a better solution.
About the the option choose which categories to split instead of all categories,
It will not be included in this version. I already start working on it, hope to finish soon and release it in the next version which will be 2.0 .
If you have a feature request, feel free to ask.
