Do you mean the textbox (the textbox input form element) or the output?
If you mean the output, you can style it via Display Format or Formatting Map List or the templates.

Basically, you can create a new newthread template in your Global Templates, copy paste your default newthread template codes to the new newthread template, and name it as prefix_newthread. Change the prefix with your product review template prefix (by default, pf).
With that way, you can have a custom newthread template (and style it) just for your product review forum (other forums will use the default newthread template).

Thank you very much for the reply.
Have attached a scrnshot of the text boxes.
Trying to make the 'sample text - 2' the same font/area as the 'sample text - 1 & 3' font/area, and eliminate the MyBB 'Your Message' display (both columns), much like the sample shown in the second attachment taken from the xthreads PR example.
Just trying to make all text larger and accessible (eg for older people, etc) and the input/output screens similar and as simple as possible... as show in scrnshot of output display where eliminated some of the 'graphics', and shortened the 'description'.
Hope the scrnshots help, not that well versed in the language of forum program technology (am working on it, but taking some time) so for me scrnshots are (hopefully) 'worth a thousand words'.

In regard to your reply specifics...
1. am somewhat familiar with templates and will try making a custom newthread template, per your direction, but not sure how to connect it to the specific sub-forum.
2. am not familiar with 'Display Format' or 'Formatting Map List' processes, is that part of the ACP ?

Thanks again for your help.
