Whooves 26 October 3, 2011 Share October 3, 2011 Hello, My suggestion is very simple, really. Instead of "5" recent topics on the sidebar, can you make it display 10? I know this is possible administration wise but it was more a question towards the admins. - Whooves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is possible administration wise but it was more a question towards the admins. - Whooves This won't be hard to change, but changing the sidebar hook to display 10 topics instead of 5 would make the sidebar much longer than the board index, which will leave a lot of awkward whitespace. But it looks like a few new sections will be getting added soon, so if there's room to spare, I'll see how far I can extend it.

Discordian 6,015 October 3, 2011 Share October 3, 2011 If the length of the boards is a problem perhaps you could add a mini-scrollbar on the side of it to make up for the lack of index length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gummy 725 October 3, 2011 Share October 3, 2011 I think it looks pretty fluid right now. But I can see in the future maybe raising it a bit to accommodate the (hopefully) larger numbers. PC Supremacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sidebar hook is only meant to give you a quick idea of what's new. I'm not going to be adding any scrollbars to it - if you're really looking for a comprehensive list of every new topic, IP.Board has a wonderful feature called View New Content (accessible from every single page of the forums). Give it a try. Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just taking the time to respond to your suggestion with what I think is a reasonable alternative to what it would accomplish.

Discordian 6,015 October 3, 2011 Share October 3, 2011 Oh I know. But I mean my suggestion was meant only as a suggestion, not as a personal level of involvement. I don't use the recent topics bar. Just postin' a suggestion based on what was said. =P Though it's good to know there's always alternatives should I need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooves 26 October 4, 2011 Author Share October 4, 2011 You must understand though, that people wanna see new stuff fast, the less extra work the better. Being a webmaster myself i know that this is important. Not pushing you to do it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linguz 140 October 4, 2011 Share October 4, 2011 How about an option to change it from Recent Topics to Recent Topics You Posted In? I know I don't use it but would love to be able to see topics which I posted in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whooves 26 October 4, 2011 Author Share October 4, 2011 Whoa didn't notice that birthdays and events were now added too, that could indeed make the sidebar a bit too long. There's also a hook that displays Recent posts instead of recent topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
