The Ultimate Sidebar Management Thread

Very Nice

But why did you put it in Breaking News?

[Fractal Trader]

I know you all have higher priorities these days, but the "tech" forum is still only working sporadically at best as a sidedar. Nothing shows up immediately when moved to "tech", some show up after a mysterious and unpredictable delay, and some never show up (especially the ones I change!)

I will keep on testing this feature (on relevant articles only, of course!) and let you know when it is working.

[CaptSkip]

Wow! Thanks.

Does the size of my monitor help...make any difference?

Seriously.

Bookmarked.

I selected my sidebars back when we changed over to the new FR last year and could never figure how to modify them after that.

Thanks.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I, too, would love to make the bang list a sidebar.

I'd be glad to help by explaining it better, but to do so I would need to understand better what it is that you do not get?

[Admin Moderator]

lol

I am sure with a bigger monitor you can make your pages bigger so you can see more per page without scrolling.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Thanks.

Nice work!

[Cinnamon Girl]

I don't get how you make it work.

[Just another Joe]

It is way past time for an official FR FAQ file to be developed and a link to it posted in the upper LH corner along with "Topics", "Search", etc.

I would volunteer for that project.
Evening hours at least.

How you make what work?

When you load this page, over on the right hand side you should see some sidebars. Most people have Breaking News, FrontPage, Extended, Editorial, FR, and Announcements.

The table above shows all the different topics you could have as a sidebar. If you click the link in the first column, you get a page that shows you what is currently in that topic. If you click the link in the second column, it adds that topic as a sidebar for you. And if you click the third column, if you had it as a sidebar it removes it.

If there is anything that you don't understand, I will be glad to explain better, but you will have to tell me more about what is confusing you than just "I don't get it". Get what? Or more than "I don't get how to make it work." What work? What is it you are trying to do that you can't get to work? Thanks, AM

"Nice work. Bookmarked for my future use."

Pardon my ignorance, but how does one bookmark a thread such as this? There used to be a "bookmark" in the options but I can't see one now. Many thanks in advance....
