    How To Put The Thread Starter In Its Own Column

    I tested the old instructions 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:

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

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

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

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