2 centre columns of forum's latest threads.

[Borgs8472]

Okay so 3 hours later and such a tiny bit of actual achievement later, I come for help.

I want to have a 2x2 grid of my latest forum's topics (latesttopics) in the centre column like so:

Forum1 | Forum2
Forum3 | Forum4

Each one would display about 5 different threads.

Currently, the closest way it to go:

Forum1
Forum2
Forum3
Forum4

So I made a custom lastesttopicsbit, (latesttopicsbit2) and latestthreads_head (latestthreads_head2) and made a new lastestopics.php (latesttopics2.php) which fetched those templates rather than the usual.

Then I added <table width=50%> at the top of latestthreads_head2 and turned the adv_portal_module_shell to off because otherwise things messed up. (the shell won't go to 50% width).

Okay... so now I've got

Forum1
Forum2
Forum3
Forum4

But they are half the width of my centre column and missing the shell colour & related info.

But now I'm stuck. I think one of the primary php files will need to be edited to say NOT to place the next module underneath the last automatically, in the case of latesttopics2.php, to place the module to the right hand side.

But I don't think I can get any further :(

Can anyone help? :)

Advice on using a customised shell would be nice too :)
