Throughout the day today we will be showing the different menu options one click away in the admin panel of WowUltra 1.15. We will start with the last option and work our way back. The side boxes will be editable as left or right in the theme editor or manually of course.

The first option was box left, menu right as illustrated below. We are switching to the second option now.

I think you really have something here. Every piece of software that I have ever used over the years has one version that stands out as the best and I think you have created your "Gold" version of WowUltra. I can't find any fault anywhere with it. It looks super and I wish you much Sucess. Congratulations on a winner.This is the first time ever, that I have seen the developer have the customers so closely involved with the development of the product. I have been in this game when tax prep Software cost $300 for a package and now they give it away. So I'm showing my age a little, but this is the first time, I have ever seen involvement like this between customer and creator. You are a credit to your profession.

John

This is really great .....I can see some wonderful uses for the side boxes.... I never tried before, because I didn't want to upset my apple cart by trying something that involved a chance of losing the board :-)

original and very cool option, especially if it is as easy as a simple change in the admin panel for an admin. Very cool.

thank you! :)

this all came about because, even tho Jim and I dont like side menus, a lot of our customers wanted it installed on their board.

The more time spent installing side menus for our customers, the less time he had for development of the software. So why not incorporate it into the software so that admins can have side menus with just a "click of a button" so to speak? ;)

Definitely unique to this site. Will you release this as wowbb mod for fee? I think you could make quite a bit on this mod.

Maybe allow user to choose what setup they want? Admin sets what options are available for user to choose or if user is allowed to choose? I think that will make users happy to be able to have users have more control on how they view the site. I've found users choosing their own settings keeps them happy more. Like custom profiles on myspace was unique and huge spinoff of just custom profile sites.

My $0.02 cents, but only a penny for your thoughts :)
