Here's a mockup of what I had in mind. The alignment is faked, since I did not actually produce this output (duh! ), just messed with some graphics.

The first gif shows the user selectable options (remembered in cookie from visit to visit) I was thinking of, then a mockup of what the page would look like if the user selected the options as show on the menu mockup gif.

The user-selectable option to not show descriptions would allow for significantly more forums to be listed in a smaller space, on sites with many forums. It doesn't show so well in this mockup since I intentionally used a narrow screenshot to limit attachment size. For users with wider screens, the affect would be to take quite a small space for each forum.

(ps: This option would just temporarily override the AdminCP option "$vboptions['showforumdescription'])", requiring no code change to construct_forum_bit.)
