Last night I tried doing the Boxed Categories template mod Floris has posted on here somewhere, but I already had another FORUMHOME modification where it shows the Last Post/Threads/Posts thead in every category. I had to do a bit of changing things around and ignoring certain parts of the instructions, and I got it to work.
The only problem now is that the cell widths aren't consistent. You can see what I mean by going to http://forums.hoytroid.com -- Scroll down and look at the Projects category. The Last Post table is way bigger than the others because of the text inside of it.
Here is my FORUMHOME template:
