I started a new local car forum and it's getting popular quick. I had a request to make a change and im really having trouble getting it done.

I am using the Theme 'The Cure' I like it a lot it has everything I like and want. I want to change the way the forum threads display though. It currently displays with the User name and all the user information above each post (in between the actual post content) and some of the users would like it to be easier to read.

On most vbulletin layouts it puts the username and info in a table on the right and the post in larger table on the right.

Could you guys please help me out. It would be greatly appreciated. I am not even sure what template to edit. I was thinking "forumdisplay_thread" but am still not sure.

forumdisplay_thread

There's actually a setting to use the "classic" postbit style, that changes posts to use the column layout instead of row layout. I don't remember how to change it for existing users, though.
I will start hunting for this setting. Anyone else have any ideas for me?
You can force it through an SQL query, i think Matt has it posted in his useful SQL queries thread.
point me to the thread?
If you change some time your layout and some setting.so that i think your present time create new layout some new edition.[/font]
