This has taken more than 4 hours of work in total, please mark as installed if you use it.

This is a great style.....just wondering though -- is there an easy to get the "Thread Title, Username, and Last Post time" to align to the left in "forumhome" and also the same in 'threadbit."
Right now, Thread Title and Username are to the left, but the timestamp on the last post in the thread display is to the right.

by this order :
thread , thread starter , Replies , Views , last post

So in forumdisplay you want an "extra" column to show the thread starter, just after the thread title, is this correct ?
