I used the source from a sidebar I found on another forum to create a nice Firefox sidebar for navigating these forums.

What does it look like?

Alternatively, if you want to use the brown forum theme and wish to use the brown sidebar it will look like this:

Where can you get it?

Red and Yellow:

Brown:

How do you make it a sidebar?

You make a bookmark to the above link and tell it to load in the sidebar.

I'll keep it updated if any new forums/subforums are created, and all you have to do is enjoy.

Thanks for reading. :grin:

Hey, that's neet!

I'm going to have to make a few of those for other forums I frequent ... now what would be cool is if you could set up the bookmark to open the sidebar in the sidebar and the main site in the main window with one click.

Well it wasn't exactly an original idea or layout to begin with but I liked the way theirs looked, so I worked from it.

Updated to match the new forum theme. :)

Edit: Updated both themes twice, and made them both a lot less ugly. :)

Updated to add all of the new forums, and reflect the change in the "officialness" of the forums. :)

doesnt work eitherI just clicked it. The link works beautifully for me. I have the add-on installed and it works great with Firefox 2.0. Before I upgraded to Edgy this add-on also worked great for me using Dapper and Firefox 1.5.

I don't know what to tell you.
