CSS NOTE: PLEASE READ
The description area is adjustable in the CSS file. This is helpful if you see that your site has a lot of dead space, or needs more space in the description area. To adjust the size of the description cell go to ./justboards/style.css and look for...


.windowbgdesc
{
   color: #000000;
   background-color: #DDDDDD;
   height: 150px;
   vertical-align: top;
   border: thin solid #CCCCCC;
}


The line to adjust is the "height" from 150 to whatever looks best on your site. Also note, you will want to use the height of the LARGEST description you have. This will ensure that ALL boards stay in a nice neat row.


This theme actually removes the category titles from the index page and lists just the boards in a 4 column pattern. I tried to figure out a way to get the category titles listed inline, but I could not think of a good way to do it and keep the site symmetrical, so I just removed them. Many sites will be OK with no category titles anyway since boards are usually self explanatory. I've also added a quick view bar for when there are new replies to view. This is helpful on forums with a lot of boards so that you don't have to scroll-scroll-scroll to see if there's new posts. You will see the unread icon under the "Show unread posts since last visit" in the header. This icon actually uses the same system as the on/off icons, so it's quick, and it actually "grows/shrinks" when there are more or less boards with unread posts in them.
