Forums arranged in columns on forumhome

As requested several times, this hack allows you to arrange forums on forumhome in xx columns instead of just one per row as it is in standart vb3.

Look at the screenshot to know what i mean

The design is changeable in the templates of course

I've tested it, and it should work, but as i don't use it myself, i cannot do a longtime test, so if you find any bugs, report them

You can apply the changes to forumdisplay as well if wanted

well, it's fixed now

Could this be done for the forumdisplay page too (when clicking on the category link).?
Obviously not with just the current code, but if I wanted to attempt to expand on the hack (or if you wanted to take on the challenge) - could it be done?

iirc i have posted how to do so in the thread already.

it's just a change of one condition in the file, and then again, quite the same template changes on forumdisplay

Reason I ask is that I had this installed before on a test forum with only the template changes done in one style. That style displayed fine but when I viewed the forum using another style, instead of seeing the normal forumdisplay it was completely messed up.

I don't have a screenie and can't say for definite that I didn't make a mistake but it's unlikely.

So can anyone confirm that this works correctly if you want it on some styles and not others?

Thanks

so actually you can get to work it on one style if you don't want it to be columned on the other style, but you will have to put a little extra work in then

This would be a nice add-on for this great hack!! Since I am sure there are a few of us out there, that would install it and use the hack, if it didnt mess with the other skins we use..

Wish I knew coding better, then I would write this myself.. But I dont

Anyone can help with this?

I have problem, dont think i saw it above....when i installed the hack...it works...but the tables for the words Forums...Posts...Threads...and Moderator made the boxes change to that size...how can i fix it?

[Xenon]

That shouldn't be normally.

are you sure you have changed the categories templates as stated in the install instructions.
Those changes are nessecary to keep the moderator/thread boxes in their correct size

OK, Now The Only Problem Im Having Is Its Showing An "X" For The Status Icons...
