Ever consider a shoutbox ? You see other members on the forum you can say hello. They can fit in anywhere on the main forum page at all. Or you can narrow the forum front and place the shoutbox at the side. Many ways they can be added. But just another idea.

Hi CUCH!
If you know how to set it up do it.
It seems a good idea. Normally we use the PM's.
It would be good in conversations where line after line on same box or paqe rather than Replies to Threads as per what we do now,
If it is successful/works etc., make announcement on General it is there once up and running
Regards Bunyip

Lun is the forum design expert. She has full access to the areas needed to make changes on the forum. Have a look over at this addy. This is what can be done. moods.proboards41.com/index.cgiNice little fancy design. The top of the forum in that link. Cool looking.

How did they create the effect in the forum above ? East really. You start off by adding some code to your main header. What you will end up with is 3 boxes the width of your forum. Blended in with your forum at the top. Then you get yourself a saybox or a shoutbox and you add it to the righthand side box. That leaves you with two empty boxes. Big one in the middle. There you could add links. Back to the Cave or whatever. Then you could use the lefthand side to add a scroll with messages you may want us all to see. Etc, etc, etc. I know Luna loves playing with code. LOL. Don't worry. Want botch your forum up. Just add to the main header. See the three boxes. Then you can delete it for now.
<table width="92%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" align="center" class="bordercolor"> <tr> <td class="titlebg" width="100%" colspan="3" height="30" align="center"> <font size=2><b>Table Title</B></font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="20%" class="windowbg2" vAlign="top"> <font size=2>Contents of Left Box</font> </td> <td width="60%" class="windowbg" vAlign="top"> <font size=2>Contents of Center Box</font> </td> <td width="20%" class="windowbg2" vAlign="top"> <font size=2>Contents of Right Box</font> </td> </tr> </table>

CAN'T FIND THE RIGHT SHOUT BOX. MOST ARE NOT ACCEPTING SIGN-UPS.
FIND ONE AND IWILL ADD IT. AND WHAT SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE AND LEFT SIDE. MY SCROLLING LEFT THE BOX TOO NARROW.

Just a case of finding the right things you want to place in the boxes. You can delete the code from the header until you have all the right things to place in it. More wanted you to see what would come out if you placed it there just. The shout box would make it stretch in length. So a scroll that goes top to bottom / bottom to top for the left side. As once the right side stretches so will the other two. Or they should. You can easily make them all the same sizes. Trial and error. Doesn't look good you simply remove it. No harm done.

I love this site. Great for add ons. About 6 pages of them. Games as well. Just see what you think might fit the boxes. Flooble is down at the moment. That is a chatterbox. Doing their site up. But might be other ones out there. Will look when I have time. But have fun over here. May take first page a second or two to open on first visit. www.buildfree.org/evenmoreaddons4.htmlEnjoy !!!!

I found a box and put it up on one of the forums I use for testing. The only problem is it posts to every one that has one of these. And some adult addys are posted. I don't think we want that.
Most of the say boxes have no signups available. I am still looking. I have got the left box working. Need to find out what to put in there. And need the contents of the middle box too.
