Sorry, my mistake.

But I think swearing is the most important thing I do, I need it back. and as you never mentioned in your not-to-do list, I thought I should point it out.

vBookie and the arcade are back, and I've also added a gallery, links at the top of the page.

I don't like the "latest threads" box on the right that causes the actual reading area to be shrunk in width.

Seconded.

It's OK on my widescreen laptop but a pita on my more orthodox desktop machine.

I'm using a widescreen laptop too and it's still annoying because of the big white strip down the r/h side.

Just checked my PC and it really is shit.

Don't misunderstand me. When I say it is OK, that is exactly what I mean. OK, as in 'I can cope with it' - not OK, as in 'I love it and can't do without it'. TBH I can't see any use for it and it is one of the several things that I would get rid of from the new version of the forum.

It does make me wonder what motivation there is for Jeff to spend his time (and probably money) updating to a new version which quite honestly seems to offer nothing better than the old one.

I shall return to TB once this ghastly 'thing' on the side has been removed.

so it really is worth keeping the "latest threads" box

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

I had this discussion with mg yesterday.

None of the things you highlight are necessary, Talking Balls isn't necessary, the Internet isn't necessary and electricity isn't necessary.

If we were to only include the necesseties on our life, we'd just have shelter, food and drink.

Necessary is dull, what's wrong with wants and desires?

Everyone's got a box under their details some green, some grey etc. If you hover over it with your mouse you'll see.

Whynot get a shoutbox on the forum so people can chat?

Download

http://www.designanet.co.uk/shoutbox/index.php#download

(download link halfway down the page)

1. Install the shoutbox, it's very easy.
2. Then create the template called "adv_portal_shout"
3. Contents of the template:
<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<IFRAME SRC="http://localhost/shout/inc_form.php" WIDTH=175 HEIGHT=500 frameborder="0" scrolling="yes">
</td>
</tr>
4. Change the path (in blue) to where you have it installed.
5. Then make new module using the new template.
You can put it anywhere, but the side panel is favourite.

I am sure you already know how to do it though Jeff :icon_bigg
