Topic: Modifying Right side of forum view

I was wondering if someone can help me out here. You know how the default pun forums look to the right when viewing the forums. Well normally it displays under Last Post the date and poster. I would like it to display the Subject name and poster instead. I also should mention that I am using the Sub-Forums mod so if someone can assist me with this that would be great. Below is my forum.php file:

Sorry about that. The forum description is misleading.

Re: Modifying Right side of forum view

You mean on all forum titlebars, it'll show, in the last column: Subject, poster, rather than date, time, poster?

Re: Modifying Right side of forum view

Yes, that's exactly correct. I didn't realize that it would also need modifying in other files as well.I thought it was just in forum.php. I've tried to do it myself but had no luck. Another member of this site said he would post the code but I never heard from him. sad

It's quite alright -- there's been confusion about that in the past from other users as well. The description might need updating.
