Twitter Side-bar

[Cam]

Hello,

Soon, codersCommunity hopes to use Twitter and possibly Facebook to put our announcements, news and other things on there and have at least daily posts. I came up with the idea that perhaps we could have a side-bar with all our Tweets on it which be good. I'm personally in favour in it.

There is two different things you will see in the next image, where it says, "Follow us on twitter" we have changed that to an image provided for free by Twitter which you can get for you twitter account. Secondly, you will see a twitter box on the side. Please comment on this. I did say a while back that I would send out emails for announcements where the community has an opinion. I will do this soon.

mirrorimg.net/images/p4k.png There is the image, (it may take a while to load on slow connections.) For slow connections you can go to www.lukescodetestsite2.proboards.com where I have put those two things on and with our current skin with it.

If this is accepted, I was wondering if you guys would want the current PM bar removed due to it causing a few problems with our members. It's a great code but I believe it is causing problems with our polls. If you guys want it gone, I will put a small little message above the twitter side-bar saying your new and old messages count or we could put it to the left on the "Follow Us On Twitter Sign." Your guys call!

Thanks and I hope a lot of people show their opinion,

~codersCommunity.

Why not do one the same style as the hover bar on the left?

It will look a lot better.


   $(function(){
     $(".tweet").tweet({
       join_text: "auto",
       username: "coderscommunity",
       avatar_size: 48,
       count: 3,
       loading_text: "loading tweets..."
     });
   });

I have a 1024x768 resolution so it overlaps a good portion of content which I would hope you have a solution for. =/

I'm not for it, it goes over part of the content on my desktop. I am sure it doesn't on laptops, but it does on most desktops.

I don't like it. It's unnecessary as well.

Thanks I was having ideas about that also.
