wow, yeah,.. why didn't i found that? 
but i can tell you, my changes are not that big,
i've just added an extra column tc1 added the css code and moved the poster from one to another column:
<tr class="tc-header">
<th class="tcl" scope="col"><?php echo $lang_common['Topic'] ?></th>
<? //added one line to show the poster name in a separate column ?>
<th class="tc1" scope="col"><?php echo 'Door' ?></th>
<th class="tc2" scope="col"><?php echo $lang_common['Replies'] ?></th>
<th class="tc3" scope="col"><?php echo $lang_forum['Views'] ?></th>
<th class="tcr" scope="col"><?php echo $lang_common['Last post'] ?></th>
</tr>
&
</td>
<? //added lines to show the poster name in a separate column ?>
<td class="tc1">
<?php
$suffix = "..";
$maxChar = 9;
if (strlen($cur_topic['poster']) > $maxChar){
$cur_topic['poster'] = substr($cur_topic['poster'],0,$maxChar);
$cur_topic['poster'] = $cur_topic['poster'] . $suffix;
}
echo ($cur_topic['moved_to'] == null) ? $cur_topic['poster'] : ' '
?>
</td>
<? //end change?>
<td class="tc2"><?php echo ($cur_topic['moved_to'] == null) ? $cur_topic['num_replies'] : ' ' ?></td>
<td class="tc3"><?php echo ($cur_topic['moved_to'] == null) ? $cur_topic['num_views'] : ' ' ?></td>
<td class="tcr"><?php echo $last_post ?></td>
and deleted this piece 3 times:
<span class="byuser">'.$lang_common['by'].' '.pun_htmlspecialchars($cur_topic['poster']).'</span>'
all three of these changes above where in the viewforum.php
next piece of code is changed in the css:
.tcl {TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 50%}
.tc2, .tc3, .tcmod {WIDTH: 9%; TEXT-ALIGN: center}
.tc1 {WIDTH: 10%; TEXT-ALIGN: left; overflow: hidden;}
.tcr {WIDTH: 28%; TEXT-ALIGN: left}
I'll make an official mod somewhere this weekend
