(I guess this *almost* fits here.)


While visiting the home of a fellow 4x4Wire member, I was standing over his shoulder while he was logged-in, and I noticed that he wasnÆt taking advantage of a very useful feature on the Main Index Forum Pageà

Since he hadnÆt ever notice it before, I thought IÆd mention it here in case maybe others out there were unaware of it as well.



Next to each of the individual Forum Categories, located on the far left hand side of the green margin division, is a small gray box containing a minus sign symbol (sometimes theyÆre almost invisible on some monitors)à

Clicking one of these Minus Sign Boxes will collapse that section of the Main Forum, making it so that only the Title Bar for that forum-set is visible. --- If you almost never visit a particular set of forums (perhaps even several sets), then using this feature will æcloseÆ them û making it a whole lot faster and easier to scroll down to the forums that you do visit.

And donÆt worry, itÆs equally simple to reactivate a æclosedÆ forumà you just click the yellow plus sign symbol, and *poof*, itÆs right back to normal again.


* Note: You may have to hit the Refresh Button on your browser to get a newly changed setting to show-up the first time.


(Just a thought: But changing those Gray Minus Signs to Yellow, like the forum reactivation Plus Signs, would probably help a lot more folks become aware of the feature. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> )
