Topic: Quick Change Question - Please help!!

Hello PunBB community,

I did some changes to the original Oxygen theme but got stuck in one of the changes that couldn't find a way to do it:

For now the display of the list posts in the forum looks like this:
http://content.screencast.com/users/FaithJaya/folders/Snagit/media/d3a449bf-fe74-4273-a4b8-845c115b2962/07.01.2010-02.23.03.jpg

I want to change it to look like this:
http://content.screencast.com/users/FaithJaya/folders/Snagit/media/9983aced-9b2f-476f-8d7e-c55a4958f58c/07.01.2010-02.23.53.jpg

I'm thinking I have to change the viewforum.php file but not sure what exactly should be changed or where. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

I think that if you put forum and post title side by side, it would be a problem for long titles. Remember too that font size is ultimately determined by the user so those who use larger fonts (like me) will not see what you think they will. I wish I had a solution for you but if it is mostly the  readability you are concerned with, then there was someone who posted an accessibility enhanced version here a couple of weeks ago. I can't remember where, but the link was http://www.accessibleforum.org.uk/ and you can get the css from them.

Thank you for the response.

I have checked the link. That looks interesting.. Though, I beleive the change I intend to make doesn't apply using CSS but by modifying the core code of PunBB. I have seen this method used in FluxBB site. It allows the title to be in different lines if/when it is long. here is an example:

PS. The first screenshots should have been of topics listing instead of forums listing. Sorry for that.

Fixed thank you. All i had to do is add : Display = inline in the CSS codes of those two areas. Thanks to Paul from FluxBB  smile
