[aceofspades]

Im trying to change the top bar on my forum, remove the last post, posts, threads and the lines that divide those sections, and just have some text / phase on the left with the background tiling along like in the picture here:

Im using this code in forum home:

<thead>
<tr align="center">
<td class="tcat" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
</tr>
</thead>
$forumbits
<tbody>........

But i get this result:

Can anyone please help me. Its keeping the columns of the tables under it, it only extends as far as the status icon column, i need it to go all the way along to fill the grey area in the second image. Any help would be much appreciated!

You need to add the colspan to the td. This will be

colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"

and needs to be located after class="tcat"

That worked perfectly! Thank you
