I've used "display: inline-block" on a couple of elements, although they still go through a hook. Just means I can stick them next to each other.

In topic view, could you just not alter the CSS so they display inline?

I ended up making my own solution to this in the end.

 

Wrote a plugin to grab the data and strip out all the fields I don't need and cache it, then another block which is not cached which grabs that cached data and converts it to the output and correct time for each user.

For anyone coming across this later on, I'm pleased to say my hook is not needed for IPB 3.4.x, as IPS have implemented this fix themselves

I havent stripped anything from the array, its serialized the entire $records array.

I might look into stripping what I dont need. I imagine its only going to affect how quickly the server reaches max capacity as I cant see how the page can load any faster than it already does.
