[Carnage]

My solution so far was just to split the forums into two separte lists and display one on the right, one on the left.

The intended 'market' for this design is people who have huge monitors (like me) and want to make more use of the screen real estate. It looks ok on a smaller monitor; but my intention would be to offer a widescreen and a regular screen skin (possibly also a cut down 'i-phone' skin.)

It would just be nice if CSS contained a float:top and a float:bottom directive. With allowed combinations of float: left top; float: left bottom; float: right bottom; and float:left bottom; The desired behaviour for each of these would be for the box in question to minimise its distance from both edges, taking into account boxes that have already been placed.
