Just wondering...
Why there is that extra box (painted in red here) when we get the Add Topic screen? I wanted to know if it's mandatory to have it. I mean are there hidden functions in this box?
I could probably edit the styling of #spPostForm and remove border and margins but I ask just in case it was there once for a reason and could now be removed.
I can't imagine why a certain styling would be mandatory. Myself, I've removed the border that runs one level deeper (the one in line with the "add topic:" text) in our custom forum style. This hasn't caused problems yet.
I agree the way the default themes style the borders/margins right now is a bit redundant.

While you are it, I think that even the overall border #spMainContainer should be optional. I believe most WP theme already have a border. I just removed it as I type and I type it looks better.
yup, its just css... any 'hidden' content will still show if you remove the border (but not the elemet)

Following my initial post, I know you turned off the border but was curious why you kept the padding or haven't simply removed that extra box at all? Maybe some theme use it for background-color? Take a look with the Berries'n'Cream and you'll see a white background around the editor, not sure if you like the look. Maybejust something you forgot.
I know I can remove it myself, it's just another css override added to custom style of the theme I use.
there was no extra 'box'... it was just a border... and we did leave the padding in there... personal preference I guess... I can see the point of removing the padding, but then the borders on sides are bit jumbled... but we can talk about it...
