I have made an agreement with Wren to build a side bar for you guys. All I ask in return is for your help in the field of ideas and suggestions. I need some imput as to several factors of the bar:
1. Should we even have it?
2. Where should the bar be? top,bottom,left,or right?
3. What should the content be? Please tell me specific links,pics, or other object you think would be a good addition.
4. Do you want it on all the pages, or just under specific topics?
5. When a link is clicked, do you want the page to come up as the main page, still with the side bar or without? Also, I can make it open the link in a new window.
6. What should the background color be? the same as this sites?
Some ideas are to have a site explorer section (as in you can jump to other sections of the forum). Also, a member list that displays their avatar right next to their name.
The completion of this depends a large part on the response I get!

Anyone who wants to see the progress may view it here7. Please let me know as to the size as well, do you think it's too big? too small? 8.Is there a more square logo from the site I can use? The current one is kinda small when shrunk 9. Do you like this background color (as of now it is the same as the sight) or would you like a slight contrast? A suggestion would be to use one of the current page colors, like the dark green, or the light green, or the different shade of brown. |

Im actually liking the site better without one. But that is just my opinion..  I say keep it like it is. Although I would suggest a different background color.. ;D |

I was also thinking of finding a way to keep the top section on top at all times (where the page logo and user buttons are). That would be nice I think. Or just a small bottom bar with links. Any of those sound good?

I think it would be great if we could do this with a speparate skin. I mean one with side bars and one without.

You mean to have an option? Also, I can make a different background image for it, one that is similar, but different that the main page one.
Remember that the bars are in a crude stage and will be better polished as ideas are implemented.

Ok, the bottom bar has gone under major face-lifts since I last posted it. Please visit it again. here Keep in mind that I have forcused the revising on the bottom-bar and that I can do the same for the side bar if you guys want it. Also, on the bottom bar, I can add a third row underneath the links. It can contain information or unrealted links or what ever. Any ideas as to the content? |

It looks great, but is it possible to have a button to open or close it?
And I can't decide which I like better the bottom bar or the side bar.

It seems like the side bar idea fell through the cracks.
Oh well, maybe later.
