I'll stay expanded for as long as I want to (forever) right? If so, it's great!

#1) it needs to remember which sections are expanded/contracted between pages AND sessions. it's gonna be super annoying if every time i open my browser i have to contract the sections i don't care about. ideally my sidebar preferences would be saved to my profile (or i could set up defaults to attach to my profile).

2p2's cookie management has shown to be unreliable and it's going to be a headache if the sidebar is messed up all the time due to cookies. a personal default in "Display Preferences" would be a good compromise and save the server a ton of load while still keeping display persistent.

#2) needs to be tested on Safari. when the page loads the arrows are in the closed position but the the sections are expanded. takes 3 or 4 clicks to get everything working right.


i really like the way it looks though.

It was tested in Safari, and is working as intended.

However, if you are not accepting cookies that could be your issue.

It does remember, but it will be machine-based, not profile-based. The cookies used are distinct from the rest of the cookie stuff in 2+2.

Every time I go back to the test pages (after closing it previously, obviously) it remembers which sections were expanded and contracted.

At least in Firefox anyway.

If you have it expanded, it will stay that way for 60 days, or until you delete your cookie for the site.

At that point, with one click, you can use the Expand All link to get it back to how you want it.

I think the cookie to retain the setting is for a year or something (I worked on this a good few months ago, so forgive the vagueness). That long enough?

EDIT: My bad, it's 60 days.

Each forum should be forced to pick a member to represent the forum for them. Stick everyone in a MTT and the order of bustout chooses the order the forums are represented in the sidebar. First out at the bottom of course, which will be Micro Stakes NL obv [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
