Wow, no response..oh well, another question.

Is it possible to add a "hide" function to the slider? Maybe so that there is a very small tab sticking out unless tte member clicks on un-hide? Waddya think?

[Saviour]

This mod was provided "as is"...no consideration is being given as to changing this or adding that.

It's a simple floating side menu...with the ability to add links and modify its appearance to blend in with your forum.

Please....please...do not ask to add any features to this mod...since I no longer support it...as noted in the Mod Description by the way.

You have to remember...this is simply a dynamic script...and not a modification per say.

My thanks to all who have installed and are enjoying this...

Fair enough.

OK a few questions...

First and for most here is my forum... www.rebelsofchaos.net

First questiong.. is there a way to change the color and size of the "bartext:'MENU'," and the ["Menu"], //create header ? And along with that what about changing the tab to an image file?

Second I currently have Zoints installed and would like to be able to recognize the logged in user .. so i am stuck with this code:

["Profile", "http://www.rebelsofchaos.info/member.php?u=1", ""],

where the "1" is the admin profile.. i need to change it from specific numbered member to the logged member accessing the profile. as in if i was 10 and went to the page it would show me 10.

If anyone could help it would be greatfully appreciated!

Ok so I have not figured our the user code yet. but i am working on it... as for the colors i read through the attached menu file and figured it out...

I am still interested if anyone can help me out with replacing the bar text or bar background or bar frame with an image.. i want to make it match the framing of my site more then just the color framing...

well check out my accomplishment here www.rebelsofchaos.net

I validated this and it surly does. Works great via a computer
