Default Putting thread starter in own column

I just noticed on the hack part of this site, you guys use a feature that i thought was long since gone, you have the thread starter in its own column instead of sowing up underneath the thread title.

Ive never liked the way thats displayed, so is there a way i can do the same thing on my board for forumdisplay???

Id like to put the name of the thread start in its own column with the last poster name below it.

that would be relatively easy
just change a few templates.
1. Change the colpsan for the table header.
2. Add a column to the threadbit.
And your done.

This is basic HTML. You shouldn't be messing around with your templates (especially this one) if you don't understand basic HTML. It's a good way to really mess up your boards Try W3 schools or webmonkey to learn basic HTML before you start messing around on the index page. You could mess up 3-4 other sections of vB, just by messing up the forumhome template, including the search results page ;)

Would want to keep the rating area of the Thread/Thread Starter area? If so would you want it in the thread name column or in the Thread Starter column... Or maybe it's own column ?

I think the thread rating should belong in the same column as the thread title ... pretty much where it is now.

I just wanna move the thread starter name from underneath the thread title, over into its own column, everything else should stay the same.

let me do a sketch for you:
##############################################
|###|#######################|##########|##|##|##|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|

Due to off alignment it's not perfect but you get the point. The 2 row's of #'s = Template 1. The lines of | and - = template 2 (the threadbit) You need to change it so it looks like this:

################################################## #
|###|#######################|##########|##|##|##|# ###|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|
|--|--|--------------------------------|--------------|---|---|--|-------|

As you can see i added another column into the threadbit and added 1 to the colspan of the main page header.
