#2026439 Suggestion: Member specified side bars

Posted .Peter on 06 October 2010 - 02:45 AM

I was thinking how cool it would be if each member could specify the order of the member side bar in addition create an additional "hook" system that allowed for developers to create "side bar widgets" so members could add things to their side bars that forum admins allow.

Obviously you'd still give forum owners control over specifying if a side bar was required and where to put it (for example an ad or donation side bar obviously the forum admin won't want you to be able to remove that).

Also possibly add in a left side bar, I realize there are some apps out there that will do that, but it'd be nice to see it as an official IPS thing.


I'm fairly sure something like this has been mentioned before but I was just thinking to myself how nice it would be not to have to scroll down most the way of the page to get to the status updates. Power to the lazy lol.

If IPB really wants to compete start with VB options.
just do not overkill like vb has done, no need to
make their mistakes again.

Please keep in mind there are dozens of features in IPB that are not in vb.

We are not, and never will be, a vb clone.  We are not out to copy what another software has done.  We have our own vision that is shaped by the community here based on feedback and suggestions, and this works well for us, allowing us to deliver what our customers want, rather than what another software package might have that our customers have no need for.

Just because something is in vb does not make it an automatic or good candidate for inclusion in IPB. :)
