....well? how?

What are you refering to???

the live discussion at the top of the main forum page and when you reply to a topic its at the bottom. i don't know if you can turn it off.

Oh, turn off.... Sorry.

You can't.

Not yet at least... Im working on it but atm have other priorities...

i would also like to kindly request to please enable the feature of turning off/on the live discussion from the administrators. it would be a great help. necesary action is appreciated.

thanks .unicorn :)


hey jonesnewyork ;) that's right like DoG said: what i actually asked was: i would also like to kindly request from the administrators to please enable the feature of turning off/on the live discussion. :P

sorry for bad english :unsure:

I don't see anything saying that members should have any absolut right to be able to turn features off or on in any way.

I rather put it this way: It is nice if you can turn them off or on as desired. I'm f eks very happy with the avatar and signature control. There is a lot of shit you don't have to look at when turning them to off.

HI Guys,

Could it at least be moved to the bottom of the main forum page too? It causes a dead spot on the page, if you're scrolling with a wheel mouse, and it always gets stuck there :).

All the best,
E3

I like it. it's something different.
@ McoreD why would you not want to beable to communicate w/ admins or the other way around? I guess i am confused please elaborate.

I think he means put in a request with the admins to sort it out so that it can be turned off

Now I'm sliding away a little from the first question...
I like the live discussion. One thing though - as the discussions there are not very intensive I should appreciate time stamps. Now it's a little confusing when logging in and see a "live discussion" - and after a little while you understand that this discussion is anything but live; what you read is something somebody typed an hour ago...

That is being worked on by zone at the moment- it is planned

It should be pointed out that enforcing such a feature to be viewed by all users whether they use it or not is bad site design. In general, I think the website is great, but I personally don't like the chat window either. I have a fast system and connection, so it does little but annoy me, but still...what about people with 56K or less and a slow computer? Some people may still be using pentium 1 class computers depending on whether they are at home or at office or what ever. Having the ability to turn off the chat window [changing your preference] with a simple quick click on a button at the button bar would be really considerate.

Yes, this is very annoying, although I see the point of having it visible when the page first comes up.

Also, this feature doesn't seem very useful without a time stamp or some other way to tell who is currently participating. At present it seems more like a message-in-a-bottle than "live discussion".
