Per the title. An example of a separate ticker tab may be seen in the Vault Dark style that is being tested.
Click that. It is in its own tab because otherwise there will be too much shit up top to scroll through before you see the actual forums.
The spy and ticker are slow to load and all that so it's not really able to compete with posts in the box. But still, if we could have the two separate the box would feel less cluttered.
but the point is if we have something outside it but on the same page then it would still be right there to see but not interrupting conversation. I think we just need a way for something like the spy thing to have a full sized chatbox, or a smaller version of the ticker on the chatbox page. The spy page already had a small chatbox so I don't see what this new ticker accomplishes.
Given the feedback I'll have to see if I can come up with a better solution to make everyone happy. Please feel free to keep posting replies/comments in this thread, I need to do some thinking as to how to approach this.
Argh - sorry, I completely forgot about this as there's a lot going on right now. What I'd like to do is find a way for the best of both worlds - so that the folks that want posts in shoutbox will have them, and those that do not can use the ticker. I _think_ it should be possible but until I roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty I can't make any promises.
OK folks, I've found a solution. For those of you using the Dark Vault Style, there is now a setting in your Preferences to hide posts in the shoutbox. Enjoy! http://www.vaultf4.com/account/preferences
