What do you mean exactly? 2) There are some odd vertical spaces between some of the posts when in "Compact" mode?!?

EDIT: Oh yeah, it would be nice if you could switch between the two modes from the forumdisplay (like you can when you are reading a thread). Perhaps an idea for 1.5

I guess I'll need to clarify that a bit more in the instructions. All that's being done is adding the second argument to the fetch_trimmed_title function. The 2nd argument controls how many characters are being displayed in the title.

Can you send/post a screen shot of the vertical spacing problem and with which browser?

Oh, another idea for future versions: Make it expandable so it only has the first post in the thread until you click on an icon.

As far as making it expandable that's not a bad idea. But, at least to me, that capability sort of exists already by using the hybrid/threaded modes in the standard release. How best to accomplish this will take a bit of thought...
