By the way, I have been having a bit of browse about seeing as I'm waiting.....  Did you know that, if a user goes to browse a forum which has adopted a particular CSS / stylesheet / skin (whatever terminology you prefer) that style is then carried back with the user to the forum list page?  Did you want it to do that??

Sure, user account pages (and also help articles) must follow the style of the forum you have navigated from. Imagine that you visit a forum that has a dark background (e.g., black) and then you click on a user to see his/her profile. If suddenly the background becomes white, you eyes would feel a strong impact. Theoretically, user account pages (and help articles) are part of your forum and should look the same. But if you open a link to a user profile (without visiting any forum first), then you will see Nabble's standard look.
Isn't that reasonable?
