I take it you're talking about the main FT Forum Index page: FlyerTalk Forums or the Community Main Forum index. If that's the case, I agree the "Last Post" column could be balanced so that the descriptions in the "Forum" column could be wrapped to extra line(s) and narrowed so that the full (or at least the majority) thread title would fit. It could be variable using the longest thread title (like the "Last Post" column in my examples) or a fixed wider width set at the longest allowable title.
