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. It is a plain port of my 3.0 version you can find here.

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

Right now, it's just working on forumhome.
I'll add changes for forumdisplay later

[s]I'm trying to get this hack to work on my forum which was just upgraded to 3.6.2 The forums used to be arranged in a grid of 4. Four horizontally and Three vertically. However, now they're all in a line like this. Everytime we've upgraded before it's been fine and only required a few tweaks but this time the hack doesn't appear to be working at all.[/s]

Sorry. After reinstalling, uninstally, disabling and enabling the hack a few times it decided to fix itself. No idea what went wrong but it came right in the end.

I agree.. works great on 3.6.2 on a custom style, after a lot of searching and reading.

Anyone figure out how to add the double click (mark posts read) fuction in 3.6.x?

Seems my icons are not 'clickable'

All top to bottom, as opposed to left to right..
