Disclaimer section on the "about" page

I think the only way to cover all your bases is to stick a position: fixed footer on your forum that is always visible, unlike the default footer that only becomes visible after scrolling all the way down through several content updates.

For a quick test, I put this in the </body> section of my customization:

<div class="imprint">put links to more legal cruft here</div>

And this is the corresponding CSS with some basic but ugly styling that somewhat blends in with my overall customization:

.imprint {
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    width: 1140px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    height: 20px;
    background-color: #eee;
    color: #666;
    text-align: center;
    border-top: 1px solid #888;
    z-index: 100;
}

And if you want it to cover the entire viewport width, get rid of left, right and margin and set width to 100%.
