Link to Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1399)
This is a simple modification that will make the index message of your forum look like that of a vbulletin forum.
I made this modification as requested at this topic by someone whose forum I recently converted from vbulletin to smf. And I though it to submit it here as well.

The screenshot attached will show how the mod looks like in action
sweet!! i know this is a good one Babjusi!! congrats!! ;)
Thanks Smokey :)
Great mod, it failed on install for me though. If you have the sticky mod installed then this mod fails to find the second part. I readded th code needed for the sticky mod after i manually installed this one and they now both work great:
The stick mod code is below:
';
$first_topic = current($context['topics']);
echo $first_topic['is_sticky'] ? $txt['sticky_topics'] : '' ,'
and it sits in the following:
// Are there actually any topics to show?
if (!empty($context['topics']))
{
echo '
<td width="9%" colspan="2" class="catbg3">';
$first_topic = current($context['topics']);
echo $first_topic['is_sticky'] ? $txt['sticky_topics'] : '' ,'</td>
<td class="catbg3"><a href="',
Can I get this to work with the simple portal block "recent topics" as well?

It seems like the custom theme you are using has its own MessageIndex.template.php file. All you have to do is apply the changes to that file and you should be all set :)
Babjusi left me in charge of his mods, so if anyone has an issue, please see my site where I can give better support.
Thanks! ;)

This is an excellent way to make use of unwanted space.
