Description
Hi,
I just installed forums and noticed that each entry floats on the page with no borders. Would it be possible to incorporate borders into the theme for this?
Thanks!

Could you be a little more specific?

No problem. For instance, the default theme on Drupal.org uses boxes/borders around each comment. You can look at any of the comments pages but here is one for quick reference : http://drupal.org/node/46143
It just makes it easier to delineate between comments and provide some visual structure to the flow.
What would be even more fantastic is if there was a way to connect parent and child comments with lines in order to draw the path. I have not seen that done but it could be useful.
Does that make better sense?
Thanks.

If you'd like to add a border around the comments you'll need to edit the theme's style sheet:
In the style.css file (the 5.x-2.x-dev version), lines 259 - 264 will now be as follows:
.comment {margin:0 0 1.4em 0;
padding:0.5em;
border:1px solid #ccc;
background-color: #FBFBFB;
}
Also change line 231 (the links class) to:
margin:-1.2em 0 0 0;The above will add a border to all comments and a light background color.
Because I'm hooked on screenshots, I've attached one of the new comments style.
I'll add the comments' styling change to the next release.

I'll leave this feature request as active until I apply the changes to the next release.

This has been added to the 5.x.2.2 release version

Works great. Thanks!
