Default Adding Another Featured Ad

I'm having trouble adding another featured ad to to make it a total of FIVE ads. It shows five ads, but the first four featured ads are in one row, and the fifth one created it's own making it a total of TWO rows.

Is there a way to put the fifth featured ad in the first row and eliminating the second row?

The url is StickyPost.org - Free Local Classified Ads - I changed it back to the original file, if you could give me the code to increase the number of featured ads on one row that'll be great.

---------
Separate question. I'm trying to input the member's City in the view listings section. I'm having a difficult time with this. I have the City row down, but I can't manage to place the city variable there.

I looked in the language/english file and found the variable for the account's city (LANG_USER_CITY) and tried to $entry.LANG_USER_CITY and didn't work.

Heres a link to the listing : StickyPost.org - Free Local Classified Ads For Sale sports, fitness

Featured listings: open home.tpl and edit number=5 cols=5 to the values you want.
City: use {$smarty.const.LANG_CITY} and {$city}

Cheers

Great! Thanks for the help.

Lastly, I've been looking at the coding when placing an ad. I'm wondering if it's possible to edit Step 1 so instead of a pull down bar, it'll look EXACTLY like the homepage content box so it'll be much easier to find your category and simply click it rather then a pull down box.

I tried a number of things but they all failed - any ideas on that? Or is it a long process.

I think that would be quite hard.
I wanted it like on my homepage at truckandmachinery.com.au where you select the main category then in a second dropdown the sub cats appear. The one dropdown is too messy.
