It's pretty hard, and you have to edit many files.
I'll do for 10$.

Demo: RSWarez.net

SuicidalMedia · Sep 19, 2009

Google:

xenon forum columns.

It's easy you just need to edit one template part. Not "many files".

ok i did that what do i ahve to do with this??

now you have to edit the category, which's subforums should be in columns and change the value into
the ammount of columns, you want to have.

Within forum manager you can select the amount of forums to display in a row, right at the bottom.

Put it to 2 instead of 1
