I would'nt call it final but the Code in my last post is all you need to install it.
Put the PHP Code into index.php and forumdisplay.php after

PHP Code:

// prepare template vars
        if (!$showforumdescription) {
          $forum['description']='';
        } 


With the second Part of Code replace the template forumhome_lastpostby.

In EXCHANGEs code add

PHP Code:

$fulltitle = $lastposttitle; 


after

PHP Code:

$lastposttitle = $lastposttitle[title]; 


and then change the threadname link to

<a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&forumid=$forum[forumid]" title="$fulltitle"><b>$lastposttitle</b></a>

Then you have the full title in a popup box.

Any change of a mod for this so it will take thread titles correctly from sub forums.

Or someone in the know giving me a clue so I can make the modifications myself?

I put this one in my site as EXCHANGE detailed and it works great. Just had to make one little change for an English site, in the forumhome_lastpostby template I used this instead-\\

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" id="ltlink">
<tr align="right">
<td nowrap rowspan="2">$icon</td>
<td nowrap><smallfont><a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><b>$lastposttitle</b></a></smallfont></td>
<td nowrap rowspan="2"> <a href="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&goto=lastpost&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><img src="images/lastpost.gif" border="0" alt="Go to last post"></a></td>
</tr>
<tr align="right">
<td nowrap><smallfont>$forum[lastpostdate] <font color="#666686">$forum[lastposttime]</font><br>
by <a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&find=lastposter&forumid=$forum[forumid]"><b>$forum[lastposter]</b></a></smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>

All i did was change "von" to "by" so the message reads that it is by someone, not von someone. Otherwise thanks a million for this!

Thx is missed that when putting it back to english

My icons are coming out wrong. for example icon7.gif points to icon14.gif??

Also why the need to add any code to forumdisplay.php??

I made the same hack (LastTitleHack) some days before
you can turn it off for each board of your choise (e.g. private board) in your CP
maybe we shall work together the next time

The Code in forumdisplay is just in case you have subforums.

Thanks. BTW I figured out the problem. For some people I guess it won't affect them depending on the names chosen for the icons but the code was wrong for me and I had to redo it. Also streamlined a couple of things. Busy today but I can post my version of it if someone needs it.
