More space efficient forum display

Hi,

Not sure if this already exists but I just installed GARS Lite (brilliant mod, thank you very much!!) and found that the synopsis and such made the Articles list a bit cumbersome.

Here is what I did

1) Find the GARS_threadbit template, go in to edit it, then change the name to GARS_threadbit_3 and save.

2) Find GARS_threadbit_3 (it will be at the top of the list, not under GARS itself) and replace the template with this

</if>
</td>
</tr>
NB: Where this forum has put a smiley face the face needs to be replaced with : p (without the spaces) so it says <span style="cursor : pointer" again without the spaces between the quotes.

3) In AdminCP go into GARS -> Templates and EDIT the set you use, change the threadbit template to GARS_threadbit_3. This will now use your new template, and if it all goes wrong you can easily change it back to GARS_threadbit.

It's literally taken me about five minutes to do this, so let me know if the HTML is malformed, I may tweak it slighty later.

Cheers
