Problem Description:
I'm trying to fine tune my forum, how do I extend the width of the last post window at the end (there is a heading for forum name, topics, posts and then last post)

or can I just minimize the width of another one to achieve that?

I don't like how the text wraps down to three, sometimes four lines in the last post window.  It makes the entire block too tall, I like it compact.  Thanks!

in BoardIndex.php look for:

Code Select Expand

               <tr>
                  <td class="windowbg" width="6%" align="center" valign="top">' . $new . '</td>
                  <td class="windowbg2" align="left" width="60%">
                     <a name="b' . $row_board['ID_BOARD'] . '"></a>
                     <font size="2"><b><a href="' . $scripturl . '?board=' . $row_board['ID_BOARD'] . '&ordrmindex=' . $ordrmindex . '">' . $row_board['boardName'] . '</a></b><br />
                     ' . $row_board['description'] . '</font>' . $showmods . '
                  </td>
                  <td class="windowbg" valign="middle" align="center" width="6%">
                     ' . $row_board['numTopics'] . '
                  </td>
                  <td class="windowbg" valign="middle" align="center" width="6%">
                     '. $row_board['numPosts'] . '
                  </td>
                  <td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" width="%">
                     <font size="1">
                        ' . $latestPostTime . '<br />
                        ' . $txt['yse88'] . ' ' . $latestPostSubject . '<br />
                        ' . $txt[525] . ' ' . $latestPostName . '
                     </font>
                  </td>
               </tr>';
o
of course you need to change every columns to make width fits a 100% total.

nice thanks for that

and 10eastern im sure youre wondering about the "last post" section for each "board", like I was

In MessageIndex.php

search for:

$mydate . '<br />'

change it to:

$mydate . ' '

leave that little space between instead of:

$mydate . ''

he should modify the width of that table's column, no just remove a space, he'll have more control

I changed mine in www.laakademia.com and it looks good and could control it much better with the width attribute

well the width of his last post table is wide enough to support screen names, unless one is ridiculously long

he's trying to avoid 3-4 lines

I see... then he could just crop the screen name after a certain number of characters using substr
