Feedback: Seeking feedback on sidebar widgets

[ChrisMWilliams]

On the right side of the page, you'll see a bunch of random stuff. Who's online, staff online, new profile posts, etc. I'm looking to do a few different things to that side of the page. What - of all the stuff - do you guys use the most and least? Looking for feedback. Thanks.

I don't really use any of it, but I did notice when I'm in a thread there is a "Recent Threads" widget that appears to be malfunctioning. It gives the last reply time, but the picuture/user are for the person who started the thread. Truthfully, I really only notice it when you or Stanz post as I recognize your pictures. When I go to see what you said it's actually someone else who replied to a thread that you started.

I rarely see them because I use the new posts button and they don't show up on that page

I don't really look at Who is Online now for staff or members. I don't like the New Profile Posts because most on them are basically PMs that don't need to be seen

I don't really use it either. Could you put our most recent Alerts over there? Or does it have to be generic non-user specific info?

Real time CyBookie lines.

The only thing I have really looked at it for is to see who the mods are online that are letting a troll go insane like this morning.

I suppose one thing you could put there is recent articles on main page, since some people don't seem to know they exist and just go to the message board.

I missed an insane troll? Oh darn!

I echo what someone else above said - According to the "Recent Threads" widget you replied to this page 10 minutes ago. Nope - that was ChuckD4735.

Just Historic Ames trying to beat his record of 97 posts in a day saying the same damn thing in one thread.

Thanks for the input guys.

I'm going to look into incorporating the front page and Cy Bookie into the right side of the page there. Until then, I threw a poll question up to hold the space till I find something better.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

Ha! I thought I just hadn't noticed it before. I feel (slightly) less mental now.

I realize this is a way out-of-date reply, plus it doesn't quite fit with the right hand column "stuff" question, but here goes: It seem completely backward to click on "Forum list" on the far right of the horizontal bar and then have the forum list open on the far left. Is there any way to get those two on the same side?
