 * Hello,
 * Is there a way to make the sub-forum title and the sub-forum description look
   different in the index? The “Forum Description Font” seems to apply to the descriptions
   after the top level Forum/Category, but not the descriptions of the indidual 
   sub-forums. The sub-forum description seems to just follow the sub-forum font
   setting.
 * Also, is there a way to space them out a bit? I would like to achieve a look 
   similar to the Topics Index shown here (ideally with the shaded ribbon background),
   but at the moment they are all just bunched up together.
 * Many thanks, George

 * Hi Robin,
 * yes I have. Can you please email me directly as I would prefer not to post them
   in an open forum?
 * Regards, George
