Make Last Post column wider?

[kau]

On the index I want the Forum column smaller and Last Post column wider.

How do I do this?

[Floris]

Admin Control Panel > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > dropdown: Edit Templates > Expand the Forum Home Templates group > Select the template FORUMHOME and open it.

In the FORUMHOME template, find this code:

 <tr align="center">
   <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
   <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
   <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
   <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
   <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
   <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
   </if>
 </tr>

And replace it with this code:

 <tr align="center">
   <td class="thead" width="35">&nbsp;</td>
   <td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="240">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
   <td class="thead" width="65">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
   <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
   <td class="thead" width="125">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
   </if>
 </tr>

And save the template.

We've now removed the width="100%" and we've hardcoded the values for the other columns. You can then change the values of 35,240,65,65 and 125 to the ones you want.
