Hi there,
I was just wondering - how easy is it to customize content islands?
Can you fully customize the code (font/colour etc) to integrate with other dynamic elements on a page? Also, is there anything that lets you list/de-list topics from appearing on the content island? For example if some user figures he/she is going to be a smartass and post a bunch of vulgar things to the board just to have it appear on a sitewide content island? :-)

Content islands can be fed as unstyled, and you can use CSS rules to style them as you see fit.
There isn't a way to exempt forums from appearing without hacking the code.

Any idea on what the specific CSS codes are to be used? The UBB control panel refers to the UBB Admin Guide for the information, but the Guide appears to not have been updated yet to include the CSS classes and such to properly format an unstyled CSS content island.

Neat  Got Content islands now working. Now another question about formatting... I'm calling the content island via SSI as unstyled html as an include file. Ideally, I'd like to be able to change the font sizes and formatting (in similar fashion to what has been done on this site with the "latest posts" content island to he left). From what I'm gathering, this has to be done through CSS - but the question is how? Does anyone have any code snippets from their own content island (or the one on this site) to see how proper formatting is acheived? Do you have to physically go into the ContentIslands directory and edit the css.html file, while applying formatting etc to it?

You're using a styled CI. Go into your cp and change it to unstyled to use css

You're right I was. Shows me for not reading what I'm copying!
I wonder why the boxes are in reverse order from the Create Content Island Page to the Viewing Page...
Now, how do I keep all of the text from running together like it is? There are no breaks.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I needed to add "Block" to my classes.
Do me a favor, though, and take a look at it again. Let me know how you think it looks now.
