pointri: do you hav link to a working example of this?

Not at the moment. The site that required this is under development.

After a long period of lurking and absorbing vast quantities of the knowledge that exists on these forums I am now able to give back to the community.

I have in front of me a 6 column layout for a member listing.
Give me a day or two, but I'm going to package it up as a "rebuild" of the stock CB install (1.01 version) and I'll post a link with the file.

Then by default you would have the option to arrange your member listings into 6 columns.

periods of lurking and absorbing vast quantities of the knowledge are the best

packaging it up as a rebuild wouldn't be that good I guess, why not show where you modded it and what you modded?

Well it also involves adding some fields to the jos_comprofiler_list table, but maybe I can just do both?

Something for those with the know how and something for those without, but with the need.

That sounds wonderful.
