| The following is strictly my opinion, but I thought I'd post it & see if anyone else agrees.. When creating a new topic, you can provide a "subject" and a "description". If you do not provide a description, the first characters of the message text, shows up in the description area, when view the list of topics within a forum. If no description was provided, I'd rather see that line blank. This would allow that particular table row to be a little shorter in height, which I definitely prefer (and I think it would look cleaner... Most of the time, the first 50 characters of a message don't make much sense on their own) Also, when the subject and description are displayed when viewing the topics of a forum & you resize your browser (make it narrower), when the title column text starts to wrap, it really makes for some table rows that have a large height value... (especially if that topic has been rated and has more than 1 page of replies) I realize this is all personal opinion, but I thought I would just throw it out there...

| Are you talking about the topic listing under the forum? if so, I really don't care much for the description of the topic, I would rather see the name of the creator in that area and remove the name from the column list because it is taking too much space. Or at least show the name under the description even if it takes an extra row.

I think it is fine the way it is. Won't change it in any way.

| For those with lower resolutions... screen real estate is important. Column widths can definitely be too wide. I've noticed that at 1024x768, many topics that have semi long names and descriptions & have been rated (5 stars)... can be 4 or 5 lines high, in a full screened browser... If the rest of the columns (reply, views, last post) were made narrower... This would allow for a wider 'topic' column. Just something to think about.

I would like to implement Bare's suggestion in one of the default skins provided but am at a loss how to include the descriptions when displaying the topics within a foum. This does not exist in the "Liquid Violet" skin.
