I tested the old instructions (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116086) on version 3.5 and they are mostly the same with a few differences. Here are complete instructions for 3.5:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Forum Display Templates -> FORUMDISPLAY

Find this code. Remove the red code and add the blue code:



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center" id="threadslist">
$announcebits

$vbphrase[thread] / $vbphrase[thread_starter]

<td class="thead" width="150" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"><span style="white-space:nowrap">$vbphrase[last_post]</span></td>

</td>
</if>
</if>
</tr>
</if>


Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Threadbit Templates -> threadbit

Find this code. Remove the red code and add the blue code:



<div class="smallfont">
<if condition="$show['threadratings'] AND $show['threadrating']"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" border="0" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" /></span></if>

</if>

</td>

<td class="alt2" align="center" nowrap="nowrap">
<if condition="$show['guestuser']">

<else />
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[postuserid]">$thread[postusername]</a>

<if condition="$show['threadmoved']">

</div>

</if>

<if condition="$show['notificationtype']">
<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">

</td>
</if>
</tr>


Also in the threadbit, change the classes highlighted in blue. alt1 becomes alt2 and vice versa:



<if condition="$show['threadmoved']">
<td class="alt2" align="center">-</td>
<else />
<td class="alt2" title="<phrase 1="$thread[replycount]" 2="$thread[views]">$vbphrase[replies_x_views_y]</phrase>">

<else />
<td class="alt1" align="center"><if condition="$show['threadmoved']">-<else /><a href="#" onclick="who($thread[threadid]); return false;">$thread[replycount]</a></if></td>
<td class="alt2" align="center">$thread[views]</td>

<if condition="$show['forumlink']">
<td class="alt1"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$thread[forumid]">$thread[forumtitle]</a></td>

</if>

<if condition="$show['inlinemod']">

</td>
</if>
</tr>


Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Threadbit Templates -> threadbit_deleted

Remove the red code and add the blue code:



<div class="smallfont">

<if condition="$show['deletereason']">


Also in the threadbit_deleted template, change the classes highlighted in blue. alt1 becomes alt2 and vice versa:



<td class="alt2" colspan="3" align="center">
<div class="smallfont"><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[del_userid]" 2="$thread[del_username]">$vbphrase[thread_deleted_by_x]</phrase></div>

I think that is everything. Let me know if you find any errors or omissions.
