most of all it's a template modification

this are the templates you have to edit:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

you have to take out all the stuff in the columns, just have the name and the first colum in it.

then you have to change index.php

find:

PHP Code:

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

        if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
          $forumbits.=makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumperms);
        } 


just before add:

PHP Code:

if(!isset($counter) or $counter%4==0 { $forumbits.="<tr>"; } 


and after

PHP Code:

eval("\$forumbits .= \"".gettemplate("forumhome_forumbit_level$depth$tempext")."\";");

        if ($depth<$forumhomedepth) {
          $forumbits.=makeforumbit($forum['forumid'],$depth+1,$forumperms);
        } 


add this:

PHP Code:

if($counter%4==0 { $forumbits.="</tr>"; $counter++; } 


i think it'll do the trick, but it's not tested

Hmm how do i actually do this, cant separate one column for another. Is there a away to sort some forums/categories likes this and other the 'normal' way for other forums/categories?

yes you can also do it this way, but then the coding work would increase a 'bit'

perhaps i'll write such a hack, so i can say how much work it'll really be

/me puts it on to do list
