This step:

Find:

</tr>

below (under), add:

	<td class="alt2" title="<phrase 1="$thread[replycount]" 2="$thread[views]">$vbphrase[replies_x_views_y]</phrase>">
		<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[left]; white-space:nowrap">
			$thread[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$thread[lastposttime]</span></if><br />
			</div>
			<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[right]; white-space:nowrap"> <phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>  <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
		</div>
	</td>

From what I see, that whole reply info box goes onto a new line because of a </tr> Try adding the code here BEFORE the </tr> to keep it on the same line as the rest of the stuff there.
