Title: Which style looks best?

I am creating a modification of MessageIndex.template.php
to show the video label, and in case of multiple labels, do a slideshow, now it works fine. But I don't know which table style to choose. It seems to me that the title window is too wide, but I don't think there's anything you can do about it. Or maybe someone better can design it.

Is this your coding concern? I've read your post a couple of times and I'm not sure a poll like this should be in this section.

Moved it to a more appropriate section, though moving to Chit Chat was an option too.

#1 and #4 seem identical.

I think, generally, they look good. Personally, I would got with #3 and do the following:

From a practical standpoint: Instead of the avatar of the topic opener, show the avatar of the last post in the "last post" area to the right. I did that on our forum and also made those avatars links to their posts so that you can click the image when holding your mobile device (admittedly a right-handed approach) instead of a text.

I personally really like the second style, but it takes up too much width, which doesn't quite go well with phones. The next style that I like, and as seen in the survey results, not just me, is the third style. However, it also suffers from taking up too much width. That's why, taking inspiration from Julius_2000's comment, I modified it with two new variations. What do you think of them?

#2.5 although I think it would look cleaner without the avatars all together (JMHO)  8)
