If anyone has ideas on building this mod, please let me know. I think it would be great for my forum.
If you take a look at my forum ( ), you will see that I have relocated my Active Users and Active Chatters mods to the top of my pages. I also have the Private message mod installed so if you create and account, all three modules (who's online, who's chatting, and private messages) are at the top of each page. This allows people on the forum to see who else is on the forum and carry out conversations by either inviting them to chat or private messaging back and forth. My members have found this "Communication center" to be very handy.
Unfortunately, these three modules take up quite a bit of space at the top of each screen. I would really like to see a sliding menu like the one installed on the EastPasco site that incorporates all three of these include files to create a slide-out communication center.
Tried that. I create a table with one row and two columns and put the communication pieces on the left and the menus on the right. The problem with that is every time someone interacts with the menu (i.e. logging on or logging off), the confirmation of logging on or off shows up in the right column instead of being centered on the page. It just looked a bit funny.
