You can do that via editing the HTML. I might be able to do it for you if you want. :)

it does not work like that i dont want to rip of neowins source code i am asking for the permission to use that part of the coding

and it is more difficult then that i know i have been at it for a while now and there is just more then that one edit you have to move a few things and replace a few things

i dont want any of the skin or thier source code

Geez, just search for "catend" and remove it from the required templates in the HTML editing.

[mistical]

Login your ADMIN CP then go to your Skin Manager and edit the skins you want to do this to.

Go into the HTML Templates > Board Index and edit "end_this_cat", you'll see

<tr> 
 ?	<td class="catend" colspan="5"><!-- no content --></td>
 ?</tr>
	</table>
</div>
<br />

Turn it into this and save

</table>
</div>

Then go back to HTML Templates > Board Index and edit CatHeader_Expanded.

Turn

<table cellspacing="1">
 ?<tr> 
 ?	<th colspan="2" width="66%">{ipb.lang['cat_name']}</th>
 ?	<th align="center" width="7%">{ipb.lang['topics']}</th>
 ?	<th align="center" width="7%">{ipb.lang['replies']}</th>
 ?	<th width="35%">{ipb.lang['last_post_info']}</th>
 ?</tr>

Into...

<table cellspacing="0">
 ?<tr> 
 ?	<th colspan="2" width="66%"></th>
 ?	<th align="center" width="7%"></th>
 ?	<th align="center" width="7%"></th>
 ?	<th width="35%"></th>
 ?</tr>

I THINK that is all you have to do, if you still want the above, where it says "Forum", "Topics", "Replies", and "Last Post Info".

Then go back to HTML Templates > Board Index and edit PageTop and put in the following at the bottom, you may need to do a little more editing however to match up the lines, I'll let someone else either fix this part of my post or you can fix it yourself. Also will have to do more editing to make it look nice and not crappy.

<table cellspacing="0">
<tr> 
 ?	<th colspan="2" width="66%">{ipb.lang['cat_name']}</th>
 ?	<th align="center" width="7%">{ipb.lang['topics']}</th>
 ?	<th align="center" width="7%">{ipb.lang['replies']}</th>
 ?	<th width="35%">{ipb.lang['last_post_info']}</th>
 ?</tr>
</table>

I wasn't being hostile, just wondering at some of the responses. But I also mis-read the problem, so apologies to anyone affected.

You need to invert the order of the headers, hopefully one of the above answers helps you to do that.

This is good, thankyou, I was looking for directions on how to do this for a while. After following's mistical's instructions it comes out fine, pretty close to the picture in the first post. You have given code that removes the outline though, which is different from what neowin has, but that comes back when you change the "0" to "1" in the first part of CatHeader_Expanded code. The only problem I have now with this is that the details for the "Topics - Replies - Last Post Info" part are no longer aligned with the corresponding parts for each board. I've tried to align them by adjusting the width of the two in CatHeader_Expanded and PageTop but with no success. I'm pretty sure the problem one is the PageTop one, the other seems fine.
