[HOW-TO] Fix Random "Last Post By" Widths:
  1. Login to your vBulletin AdminCP
  2. GOTO: vBulletin Options > "Forum Listing Display Options"
  3. Fine "Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters", change value to 15 or less
OR

In the instructions on Step 3 & 4 - Change the following:

HTML Code:
width="175"
Change this value to something higher to make sure it fits the varying size of your titles.
Don't forget to click INSTALL

If someone with knowledge of this mod (as it is not supported) would like to take a look inside my template for me, I would be grateful.

Many Thanks.

Big fan of your MOD!

1Q. Is it possible to make the bottom table surround thin like at vb.org?

INSTALLED!

With things switched around, the gradients on my category strips needed to be revised a little to look good above the Forum-Last Posts-Threads bar but otherwise, I love this mod. My board cries out now for rounded t-cats!

Still not quite happy with my gradients yet but have a look: www.dooberville.com/forums

Thanks!
