Default Q: about forum index display

Ok, I am running two different templates, one is an expanded version and the other is just a fixed width.. My problem is this, when you look at the forum index, the last post column is perfect size with the fixed width template, but on the expanded template, I want that last post coulmn a little large and then also the info in that column larger in width as well..

I know, I can tweak the admin panel for this, but the admin panel I found, seems to do the whole site and not just one skin.. Is there sumthing I missed or is there code I need to change in my templates??

You can define the width of any skin in any template of the admincp. So if you want the views width to be 50px then you would define it in the templates. So me some screenshots of the problem so i understand fully and i'll see what i can do for ya

OK, look at the pic.. I wanna make 2 changes there--

1. I would like the column for the LAST POSTS, to be wider on the forum index.

2. I want to get have more the the posts displayed, and someone get rid of the ... when post titles are too long..

--I reaqlize, all the post titles, that are like: Why.Does.This.Title.Get.Cut.Off

are the ones getting cut off, but is there a way to fix that?? Cant the posts just be cut off after (x) characters, and not be cut off by the 'words' in a sentence? (i think that made sense.. maybe I not explaining it soo well)

In the admin cp is where you define the anount of char to cut off.

vBulletin Options >> Help Forum Listings Display Options >> Help Forum Listings Display Options >> Last Thread Title Maximum Displayed Characters.

I am aware of that setting, however, making may changes there, effects all templates!! I dont want it to effect my other templates. I use an expanded and a 'normal' template.. I just want the expanded template to have the last post by column larger...

Welp, consider this closed, I figured it out.. Had to do some template edits and tweaking, seems the skin I was using was the whole problem.. But figured it out..
