When I return to a discussion board, I want to get right to the posts. Scrolling down to get past the iBox I've already seen is a bit of a nuisance.
Possible changes: 1. Default to iBox not being displayed, with a link giving access to it ("What this board is about"). Possibly allow a member preference, set in profile, about display of iBox.
2. Keep track somewhere of boards a user has been to. Only display iBox on first visit. (still a good idea to have it available via hyperlink)
