Re: Some more modern forum engine?

Greetings, Monks.

In all honesty, I'd have to admit, in spite of my wide screen, and the high resolution of my monitor. I too, have pondered the right-hand-column (nodelets), and wondered how I might remove it, without removing it.
Then it hit me while reading sundialsvc4's last post to this thread -- I could easily create a collapsible DIV. That is; style the DIV's CLASS/ID in such a way, that clicking on it, expanded/collapsed it, as wanted/needed.

So how the H-E-double-toothpicks can you possibly accomplish something like that? It's not like you have access to the web site, and can change the HTML/CSS on the pages.
True I don't. But I do have the option to use my own CSS against the HTML here at PM. In case you didn't already know; you simply go to the "Settings Nodelet" listed in the column you (the OP) indicated you had issues with, and choose Display. From there, you'll find a form field labeled External CSS file. Cobble up one that suits your needs, and enter the URL in the form field, and choose: Save.

If I may say so; that's a great deal more control than most other Forums allow/have to offer. Cool, huh?

In my setup, I use "No Theme", and "render as DIV", and throw a whole bunch of custom CSS (via Display Settings) and javascript (via Free Nodelet Settings). I have the screen divided in two, horizontally; the upper part is a scrolling window with the "main" content of the page, and the lower part is static (though it uses the browser's own scroll) containing the nodelets in a colored tile arrangement. Don't worry, it's not nearly as pretty as Windows 8. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]
