i think i'll give this a go...

This was quite easy to figure out to port for 3.0.7, here it goes...

Go into your styles manager and do the following:

In FORUMDISPLAY look for:
=======================

	$threadbits	
	<!-- end show threads -->

Add Above:
=======================

<tr valign="top">
 <td class="thead" colspan="10"><img src="$stylevar[imagesfolder]/clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td>
</tr>

And your done, hit Save and presto. Easy huh?

I would like to install this but under the forumdisplay templates, all I have is this:

FORUMDISPLAY [Customize]
forumdisplay_announcement [Customize]
forumdisplay_loggedinuser [Customize]
forumdisplay_moderator [Customize]
forumdisplay_sortarrow [Customize]

Does this not work on 3.06?

You need to refer to these instructions to install this modification...

yea the original is not working for 3.0.X I do not believe. I could be wrong though :P.

Regarding vB 3.0.7

I looked up this thread because I wanted to use the Sticky seperating bar and whatnot. The original template mod in this thread didn't work (should've read a bit farther, but whatever - no harm done to my forums), so I continued to read.

At the end here, DaPro's suggestion would appear to work fine, and I'm sure it does. But in my version of 3.0.7, there's no need to add anything. You actually have to remove something

Find:

	<!--<tr><td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons']">6<else />5</if>"></td></tr>-->
	</if>
	$threadbits	
	<!-- end show threads -->

Replace With:

	<tr><td class="thead" colspan="<if condition="$show['threadicons']">6<else />5</if>"></td></tr>
	</if>
	$threadbits	
	<!-- end show threads -->

I actually removed the   (space) in the seperator line, because it made it as tall as the font inside of it, plus cell spacing/padding.

The end result is seen in the screen shot provided below.

Note: I don't know how many of you will have this code hiding in there already, as I recently downloaded a fresh copy of vBulletin (3.0.7 for those not really paying attention) approximately two weeks ago. But if only one person finds all this babble useful, I'm satisfied
