There are a couple of make your own forum sites that have this as a selection. Maybe we could nick the code and edit it around a bit?

@ Bulbanews: We could get a new bot to read the title of a topic, then edit it into the feed with a link.

Oh, almost forgot, UP.

I say UP it's a good way to pass on information to the rest of the forums, especially considering that a lot of events get passed over by members.

I've been poking around what people have sent me, they're all browser specific.

Please, in the future, make sure they apply to all.

Are we allowed to know what people sent you, so that if we care to look ourselves, we won't accidentally send you the same thing?

*D. Strider* · 3rd April 2011, 11:47 AM

If it can be done, I'd want it. It would make announcements so much easier to find out about. UP.

all of the ones I've gotten so far are browser specific. just read through what you send me first to make sure it's multibrowser. also, check the VB forums.

I was assuming that they were unaware that it was browser specific, and that is why they sent it to you, only for you guys to find out yourselves that it was browser specific, but I'm guessing that isn't the case from your response. Having a look now.

Hunh, guess it wasn't so stupid. Erm, do I need to edit the Prefix to say Development now, or what?

No Prophet · 4th April 2011, 05:23 PM

not until we find something for it.

There are a couple of slider mods available on the vbulletin forums but without being able to see the pictures due to not being in the licensed user group over there, I can't tell if they would work with what the OP has suggested. Is it worth providing links to one of the mods on this forum so that they could see?
