OK, being the curious person I am (Not to mention I have spent years trouble shooting software for our company) I had to go and mess around with the preferences.
There are two styles for the board under Board Preferences names "prosilver" and "subsilver2". It seems that the default is prosilver as that was what I was set up as when I created my profile. today I decided to change to the subsilver2 style and it changes the board completely. Has anyone else tried this?
It actually seems a little easier to navigate and has some more options for example changing the color of the font easier. The sections of the forum are layed out differently and the Icons are different as far as the picture and how they act.
Don't worry E and JP, I'll try not to break things!
You can also add a list of friends and foes. Not sure how all that works yet, but it will show you if any of your friends are on-line. It is also supposed to do something with highlighting topics but I haven't seen that yet.
Anyway, lots of cool stuff on this board to play with. I also REALLY like the private message tool.
Good job guys and gals.

The secondary profile might not give you all of the options the defualt one has but we allowed selecting it (all in the name of freedom)
The friends and foes selection if you choose foe will hide the post of someone that drives you nuts. However you will also never see if they call you a dirty Canadian... LOL

I didn't add any Foes because I sure wouldn't want to miss someone calling me a dirty Canadian!
Brrrrr!
