I did say, that it was using the default, SMF Display Template.
not under my custom theme.

So believe it'd be more appropriate to ask here.

If that theme doesn't really have a custom Display.template.php then yes , it will use the default one.

In either case, that's a big modification from the default layout and I have some serious doubts anyone will take that big task (being totally honest, here...)

Your best bet is really to contact Dzinner and ask them if it is possible, even if in a paid basis.
Or maybe to search for another theme that presents the information that way (I think I've never seen that, but it might be worth to try)

It's the same template from a previous site, i used to use about 5-6 or so years ago

I can pull up the raw HTML and CSS.
But I don't have the slightest clue how to bring to todays standards or how to implement it.

Maybe i should of put that part into the first post.

But, It doesn't have a custom display template.

Thank you for your post though, margarett.

With this added information, it shouldn't sound like a very big task, hopefully.

That's a DS premium theme.  If you paid for it, they should be happy to help you.  If you didn't, splitting hairs about the template won't get you very far here.

When the theme is using the default display template, i don't see why they would help me out, considering this the forums for the default smf theme.

That's why i posted here.
I did indeed pay for it, but that was 4 months ago.
Which is no longer covered under their membership fees.
