Check out this link, I was helping alignment issues for Gary B. and if you follow the link inside Gary's post, it will take you to Jake Bouce tutorial for adding column.

[Jose Amaral Rego]

Read post number #9 (nine) and see the edits I made, you will notice if you repeat same information and add <br /> ( breakline ) it will create what you are looking for.

So if i want to add another coulm under this ,I need to copy and paste the whole thing or something

[Jose Amaral Rego]

You have to make this only for FORUM index display only or you are going to have problems with postbit and postbit_legacy view of post. I could just place an conditional for this if you want.

basically copy the other code and place it for the footer.

One thing if you do add this, always give a different name for collapsing boxes

In yours you have [ left_side_one ] named for one table box and if you make another, you need to call it some else like for the right side [ right_side_one ] and so on.

[Sasan(IFC)]

I have been trying to put the code on the other side

i have been trying to put the box on the right hand side of the forum,it hasent been working properly

This is Footer
