No, the new forum 4.4.3 doesn't have this. I don't see this being tackled until mid next year.

I have no official roadmap at this time, but one will come around. The next version will be a bug fix I should be done with this weekend. The following version will include a few enhancements but will be the basis of changes for the future skinning changes for the release following it. The next versions are going to be something like this:

4.4.4 -> Major fixes for 4.4.3, no enhancements (unless I can find a way to include the Ajax work I have already done)

4.5.0 -> May contain Ajax if not part of 4.4.4, will have a few more Ajax items added in. Mainly working on seperating the controls. (Probably early 08)

Undecided -> Skinning (Probably June 08)

There is absolutely no way I can do the skinning without the middle 4.5.0 step. If I did, it would just prolong the release process. The forum module isn't your typical module. It is not 2-5 controls, it is 30. It's not that I don't want to get it done, its that I can only do so much and my team consists of 3 people and I am the only coder. (Which I am ok with because the other two Rob and Matthias are great and are exceptional at what they do).
