Things Coming Up

We aren't going to replace the front page we had as we felt that it stopped the forum looking like, well, a forum!

So in lieu of that we are getting some extra functionality to the right hand side of the forum including:

- Search google right from General Chat. No need to leave the site as you can utilise the power of google and all the results will be displayed within GC
- Add your favourite sites to the side bar - have all your favourites in one place and just a click away.
- Random pictures from the albums
- The latest poll
- Who's online in chat rooms
- Facebook-esque status!

Also the side bar will be collapsable so if it gets in the way you can close it down and reopen it again

The chat users I've implented in the What's Going on Section.. I'm going to see if I can get it working in the side bar but don't hold your breath!

Added updatable status field (under your name)! Click on it and you change pop in what you like!

It would be fantastic if you installed a "Who Quoted Me" addon ... which lists x number of people who quoted you and links you to the post.

there is an addon for this and its fantastic.

Having some coding issues with the latest poll and random pics but in meantime I've switched on the side bar as is.

You can add custom links to it by clicking on the edit link next to "Your Links". Note that currently you can't delete links but if you set the order to "0" they wont be displayed. It is a little bug which will be ironed out shortly.

Next to the where it says "SideBar" is a little arrow - if you click this it collapses the column and makes the main forum bigger again.
