....Why is this popping up so much? I've had it happen other times too when no one else was on.

I don't know why you are getting this happen a lot, but it just happened to me. The code did not throw an error, and the key was still written, but for some reason the thread number in the key was incorrect. As of yet I have no idea why, and I cannot recreate the error, so finding the problem is a little like looking for the proverbial pin in a field full of haystacks.

Have you noticed or done anything unusual when this happens? Like refreshing the posting page or navigating to/from it without using the 'Create Thread' button?

I've had it happen under various situations. Sometimes when creating a thread, sometimes when replying to a thread, when playing chess. Nothing to pinpoint really.

Other than the chess plugin, do you have any other that effects the posting page?

I don't think the chess plug in is causing anything. I think the few times it happened were just flukes with the chess. Just happened to be there when it happened.

[Todge]

Nope, Wormo's Chess plugin is not the cause of any errors, that's why I asked if you had any other plugins that effect the posting page.

Also, I have found a way that this error may happen, if you go to the thread creation page, but instead of creating the thread you go 'back' or navigate away to a thread that can cause the pop-up.. I'm working on the best way to deal with that.

[Todge]

Can you please try version 0.0.9

Is there any way to make the recent threads box longer? It cut's off some stuff and doesn't look right.

Yes, go to the olug ins in your admin and click on the plug in, then click the settings tab. Scroll down so you see the css styling box. Scroll that down to line 21, where it says Recent Threads cell, height... and change that to whatever you need. Then save your changes.

[smokeystick]

ok thank you very much! very nice plug in every forum should have this.

Here's my next question. Is there a way to put a line between every recent thread? It looks like one big run on sentence. May confuse older viewers. Also having a hard time putting links in. i am sure it is something I am doing wrong but whats the best way to put links into the sidebar? 

[Todge]

There is indeed.. Add this to the plugin's CSS

#recent-threads-cell div
{
   border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}

Change the number and color to change the line thickness and, umm.. color.

By the way, this plugin has now been added to the library, so there is an official support thread

Thanks Todge, for the update and the additional info.

[smokeystick]

works like a charm! thanks.

[Todge]

No worries.

Urgh. Having problems.

It's slightly above the menu bar.  Can I  make it be flush with it? Also there is a random space to the right of the sidebar.  Can we make that go byby?  

I'd like to thank you for all the work you've done so far, Todge

Edit: Found a little bug with the announcements. It doesn't recognize a new announcement or what [ hr] is. You cant seem to make a new line.....can we make it so when you hit enter it makes a line like a new thread on the recent threads? 

Edit: sorry to pester but theres just so much potential. If a thread title is too long to display on one line, can it just do a "blahblah..." instead of going on multiple lines?

You can move the sidebar up and down in the settings CSS..

Find this at the top..

#RT-parent
{
   top: 150px;
}

and change the number to better suit your forum.

To create a new line in the announcements you need to use HTML coding, <br> will move the text down one line and <hr> will create a seperating horizontal line.

I can't see the random space to the right of the sidebar, could you please elaborate a little so I can try to track it down please?

As for the 'blahblah..' idea, yes, that's doable. I'll try to get it done asap.

And by the way, this plugin is now in the library and has an 'Official' help thread in the support board.
