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

Please can some one just write us the text we need to place graphics into the columns like what Nzo has done, as i want to do this for my links section and place a arcade machine as one and a oil painting for my gallery in another

I would love to see some forumdisplay action going. It looks bad when I click on a catagory and have a huge stack of forums. I NEED the columns in catagories too.
