I just wanted to pop in here and give a shout out on this hack. I couldn't do it when I was in process of getting it to work because we were building a whole theme that we wanted to keep under wraps. But from the one hack we were able to do things we never thought we could.

Things that improved our Look from this hack
#1 We always wanted forum spacing, but could never get it to work right. We now have it and it's fantastic!

#2 Top and Bottom Images is something we ALWAYS wanted, but again had no idea how to do it. They add so much to the forum and you can use them anywhere!

#3 From looking at the code and realizing we could use it anywhere, we redesigned our Postbit using this code, and it's added a whole new level of originality and professionalism to our board.

#4 This code gave us the confidence to really push and figure some new things out. One of those was having links built in onto the forum header, and not only just links, but links that change when being hovered over. And another was the integration in the profile area in the postbit.

This hack ALONE has had the single greatest impact on the look of our board.

You can view the change yourself by going to www.xgplanet.com and using the Quick Style Chooser to switch between the old look and the new look. Its really amazing.

I have also attached some pics of what this has done for our board.

PS - bfoot045's board is CLEARLY inspired by what we have done. I just don't like him copying our style without permission.
