A while back I’ve noticed that the category is shown in a second line in /latest. How can I move the category to a separate column. (I think I’ve seen that before.) Edit: I accidentally hit a key combination that saved the text, before I was actually finished.

Unfortunately I don’t have access to install plugins. I am an admin, but I don’t have shell access. So I guess I will have to use the CSS option. :frowning:
