I was running version 1.4 and got the notice there was an upgrade. I took out the old and installed the new. It's the cat's meow now. Some of my themes don't look so good with the split columns so being able to turn it off on those makes this version far better.
I did notice one thing though. Some of the themes would take changing the spacing right away while others would ignore a change. I found by going in to the maintenance functions and running update styles fixed that.
Nice work!

What I recommend is also having an option to make the forums look like this:

So either you can have it your way with 2 categories split side by side.

Or

Have one category, but the forums are split side by side.

I had to put this one on hold for a bit. It's still installed just disabled.
I'd like to see if there could be added which category's go in which column. I added a rather long forum section and no matter how I arraigned the forums in the forum manager one of the smaller forums winds up under the long one throwing the whole thing out of balance. I'd like to have the Pics n' Wik's on the right and the rest on the left.
Any chance of getting that?

Thanks for the suggestion.
I will consider that in the next version.

Sorry, you can't do that in the current version.
I consider add this option in next versions.

[setishock]

Cool beans. I look forward to that option.
It's still a cool mod though.

Not any time soon, I'm not sure if I will continue develop this mod.
