Accessible discussion forums?

Hi,

We're working on making our website more accessible, with reasonable
success. However, we have a Discussion Forum (message board) area on the
site which was set up by a third party and has a different layout to the
rest of the site. In particular, icons and fonts are often very small.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with creating an accessible
forum and could give us some pointers. I like the look of the Accessify
Forum (http://www.accessifyforum.com/) very much. Unfortunately I can't link
to our forums as they're in a members only area, but they're powered by
Ultimate Bulletin Board. I assume there is a style sheet somewhere we can
play with...
