    ^ thats exactly what I want to do on my forums, just make the tables appear on the right. But so far I just end up butchering my layout. How exactly did you do it? Im following the exact code Sinecure and C: have, but it either butchers the forums, or everything ends up on top or bottom.

      Here's what I did.. I took this code, and opened up my forumhome template:
      Code:
      <div align="center">
        <center>
        <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
          <tr>
            <td width="20%">[font=verdana][b][color=red]Part 1[/color][/b][/font][b][/b]</td>
            <td width="80%">[font=verdana][b][color=red]Part 2[/color][/b][/font][b][/b]</td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        </center>
      </div>
      Part 1: Simply insert the html for your left tables here. I built mine on Front Page 2K, then cut and paste the html between <td width="20%"> and </td>

      Part 2: Here is where you have to break this code apart. Cut the last part of the code out, starting with where i have Part 2 all the way down to </div>. Just after the <td width="80%"> should come this part of 'forumhome':
      Code:
      <!-- /text -->
                <br>
                <!-- main -->
      and all the natural code after that. Now, the part you cut out:
      Code:
      </td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        </center>
      </div>
      should be pasted down at the bottom of the forumhome template. This puts the entire forum list, inside of the 80% cell. Of course, I have my tables sized at 20% and 80%, but you could change that up to suit your style. Anymore questions, dont hesitate to ask!

        Man I am so massively confused.

        Here's what I did.. I took this code, and opened up my forumhome template:
        Is that code in the template, or is that the custom code I need? If custom, then where do I put it (line wise)

        Simply insert the html for your left tables here. I built mine on Front Page 2K, then cut and paste the html between <td width="20%"> and </td>
        Ok, I have the custom table ready, so I copied the code and put where you said. (though Im trying to put it right instead of left, like WHT.com has it).

        Here is where you have to break this code apart. Cut the last part of the code out, starting with where i have Part 2 all the way down to </div>. Just after the <td width="80%"> should come this part of 'forumhome':
        I cut that part out, and pasted that code with my new table, just above the <--/text--> part. I then put the bottom code on top of $footer. My custom table looks fine, but it ends up on top, with a border that surrounds the forums.

        Here is my forumhome template: (btw this template here is modified a bit)

        PHP Code:

        Please keep in mind Im still working out the look and stuff, I just wanna learn how to put the tables on the sides before I start really working on the look of the custom boxes

        I *kinda* see where your going, but Im still confused. I'll keep trying and see if I can stumble on success.
