Remove words "Forum, Last Post, Threads, Posts" from Forum Home?

[kpmedia]

I want to remove the entire row that has the words "Forum, Last Post, Threads, Posts" on the forum homepage.

I know that I can simply cut the code

PHP Code:

<tr align="center">
      <td class="thead" width="28px"></td>
      <td class="thead" width="400px" align="$stylevar[left]"></td>
      <td class="thead" width=""></td>
      <td class="thead" width="60px"></td>
      <td class="thead" width="80px"></td>
    </tr> 


from forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

(Yes, that code is not default code, I removed the phrase entries for the words. Otherwise, unchanged.)

But the problem with this is the forums now display unevenly. I have separated forum groups, and each table will have different width columns simply cutting this code. The only way to keep formatting uniforum is leaving that code that I don't want.

What can I change to both remove the row, and maintain formatting on all the forum homepage tables? I'm just not seeing anything obvious.

you also have to edit another template i think forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost. Maybe i am wrong since on my phone but all the forum bit take care of either the homepage or the sub threads ..just look for where it has it. Also put your sizes in percents that would be alot easier.

Although I've not multi-browser tested this yet, it's looking good in Firefox.

Change the above code from

PHP Code:

<tr align="center">
      <td class="thead" width="28px"></td>
      <td class="thead" width="400px" align="$stylevar[left]"></td>
      <td class="thead" width=""></td>
      <td class="thead" width="60px"></td>
      <td class="thead" width="80px"></td>
    </tr> 


to

PHP Code:

<tr align="center">
      <td class="theadblank" width="28px"></td>
      <td class="theadblank" width="400px" align="$stylevar[left]"></td>
      <td class="theadblank" width=""></td>
      <td class="theadblank" width="60px"></td>
      <td class="theadblank" width="80px"></td>
    </tr> 


and then add this CSS:

PHP Code:

.theadblank { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; height: 0px; background: #FFFFFF; } 


That seems to work so far.

Anybody have objections as to why this may not work or would otherwise cause problems with certain browsers?
(I mostly care about IE7-8, FF3, Safari4-5, Chrome4+ ... 95%+ of site traffic.)

Thanks for your reply.

only thing i would do is use percents ..cause if screen changes it might not adjust ...just how i always do things ...all the percents have to add up to 100 percent.
