I've come to realize that we're probably best having two optimized styles -- one for newcomers and one for those of you who are already familiar with the different areas of law and the site.
TheLaw EXPERT Skin -- If you look in the sidebar or in your General Settings you'll see almost all the way at the bottom "Forum Skin." For a more condensed, slick style without all the explanations, use this one.
TheLaw DEFAULT Skin -- This is the default skin which first time users will see. This will be activated shortly. While it also includes the expand/collapse buttons it will additionally include detailed explanations of each forum so users will know where to post questions.
Let me know your thoughts on this new addition!
ADDITIONAL NOTE: LAW TOPICS LIST - A quick access dropdown from the search bar will allow you to view any major category and its subforums quickly.
