sizing issue - please help on forum home

[webghey]

here is a picture of what my thing looks like now. See how "last post" and most of those items are all crammed way to the right? I don't like it.



this is what I would LIKE to have it look like. I know it can be done, because they have their forum spaced out nicely, and nothing wraps to the second line. I've gone through templates looking for how to change it.



I found LAST_POST on one of the "forum display templates", and changed the size, but nothing happened.

can anyone tell me what I need to modify to get my sizing better? It's driving me nuts, and I've been searching for hours.
