This mod don't work like it must be, it have one issue which is unfixible, so please stop writing it work, when it don't. After you install this mod, all columns will be different size, depends from forum category to forum category, including for those who posts links here for last posts column, even one give us width sizes, when I clicked on his forum, last posts columns are different sizes (IE 7 and IE8) depend on which cats we are talking about.

So main advice, do not install this mod, and do not write is OK, when is not near to be OK. It is disaster.

Don't know what to tell you...I made some edits to the field widths and it works just fine.
