Forum Display Enhancements - Last Post Alignment Fix in Forum Home

what is this for?

some times when we use another style beside the default style of vbulletin, th last post in the forum home be not aligned in each category and be different in width form category to another depending on the width of the title of the last post... (screenshoots below explain more).

and this simple mod is to fix that and make the width of last post table the same in every category. whatever the title width is..

1- go to you "FORUMHOME" template
2- look for the the following code:

<tr align="center"> 
 	<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td> 
  	<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td> 
  	<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td> 
  	<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"> 
   	<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td> 
	</if> 
</tr>

3- if it there remove it and save the template. if it not there just let the template as it is without any changes.

4- go to "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" template

5- find the following code:

<tr align="center"> 
 	<td class="thead">&nbsp;</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td> 
  	<td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td> 
  	<td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td> 
  	<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"> 
   	<td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td> 
  </if> 
</tr>

6- if it there, replace it with the following:

<tr align="center"> 
  	<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="25%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[threads]</td> 
  	<td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[posts]</td> 
  	<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"> 
   	<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td> 
  </if> 
</tr>

and save.

if it not there just add it exactly after the following code:

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">

then save and it's done.

A minor irritation for me has been fixed, thanks!

BTW, I think 5% looks better than 10% for threads and posts.

On wide monitors it makes a big difference, without impacting the 800x600 viewers.

maybe you are right

for me I didn't set the width of threads and posts count only the width of forum and last post..

the most important is that to set the forum and and the last post..

but if -in some cases with some styles- you have the alignment problem in the threads and post count table, then you should set them...

and after all, it depends on the style and on how you want it to be shown up..

and it's better not to set the last post less than 21% as I test it..
