Post by: Kremmit on February 16, 2006, 10:53:40 pm: Not all of the separate support forums, but I could see adding a "Support Forums" link up there, with the actual support forums listed as child boards when the user clicks through.

Or is the list not that configurable?

They're all changed, and my OCD is crying for it to go back to normal.

How about four columns of three for the 'main forums', then an empty line and then the rest. Something like

Quote
main software monitor/video Audio/juke/mp3
proj annc artwork consoles B/S/T
Arc Misc EE Board Disc Hardware rev

Dos/wincab PowerMame SK Juke UncleT Juke
Proj arcade

No offense to the Proj Arcade forum, but it's not exactly the most popularly traversed

You need to line up the columns better or add more forums like a "Control Panel" discussion. ;D

Post by: Stingray on February 17, 2006, 04:24:28 pm: Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Post by: JoyMonkey on February 18, 2006, 11:52:04 am: Ah, now I see what everybody's talking about. When I log out it shows the support forums, because I guess they're not listed on the top of the 'Uncensored' theme yet. And here I was thinking that everybody else was smoking crack again.
If you don't like the change, you can always select the 'Uncensored' theme and all will be well with the world again.

Working on it. It'll be collapsable like like our other sections, have headings based on the forum sections, and will output the forums you have access to based on your account privileges. Thus, we add a new forum, it'll update the table.

Now having it user editable with AJAX (rearrange sections, delete sections) is a whole other beast.
