How to change display on forum home?

[Bluefin221]

I'm looking to change the way my forums are displayed currently its default when you visit the forum home.

Forum 1
Forum 2
Forum 3
Forum 4

What I want is.

Forum 1 - Forum 2
Forum 3 - Forum 4

Is there a hack for this already for vb 4+? Or could someone point me in the right direction to change this?

Is there anyone able to point me in the right direction with this?

The thanks for this code goes to Lynne.

/* Begin dual column css code for forumhome only */
.forumhead + .childforum .L2:first-child .forumrow, .forumhead + .L2 .forumrow {
  border-top: 0;
}
.forumrow .table {
  height: 100px;
}
ol.childforum {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
.childforum li.forumbit_post {
  float: left;
  width: 49.95%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  clear:none;
}
#forums .L1 .L2 {
  clear:none;
}
.forumbit_post .forumrow .forumlastpost {
  clear:both;
  width:95%;
}
.forumbit_post .forumlastpost .lastpostby {
  display: block;
  float: left;
}
.forumbit_post .forumlastpost .lastpostdate {
  display: block;
  float: right;
}
.forumbit_post .forumlastpost .lastposttitle {
  display: block;
  float: left;
}
.forumbit_post .foruminfo {
  clear:right;
  float:left;
  min-width:50%;
  width:70%;
}
.forumbit_post .forumstats, .forumbit_post .forumstats_2 {
  width:20%;
}
/* End dual column css code */

Edit: Add this to get rid of the LAST POST in the category bars.

.forumlastpost { display: none !important; } /* Works with dual column to turn off Last Post display */

Put that in your additional.css and then click save and reload. You get this format>

Open and close the sidebar to see how it affect the appearance.

Thanks for this, is this universally inherited?

What I mean is can I choose sections to add this in or does it just do it to all forums?

When you park that in the additional.css for any one theme it just affect that one theme.
As for what it does, it makes the forum index page go to two columns. It doesn't do anything else to any other part of the forum.

Yes I understand that, but what I mean is and for a better explanation.

Say I have 4 categories and within each category I have 10 forums, but I only want this edit to affect one category, is this at all possible?

You'll have to ask Lynne. That's her creation so she would know the answer to that.
