Obviously not for mobile app users. Desktop and Laptop users, and indeed those using 'Desktop view' on mobile devices should now see a bar on the right hand side of your screen. It's a new plugin that has just been released, and although it's still in its infancy, it sort of works. It provides a quick link feature to the forum to compliment our links and blogs sections, where the most popular links can be accessed instantly without the need to navigate the main drop down menu. I'll be adding a couple more links to it as I go along, but I'd really like some feedback to see if the majority find it of help or hindrance. I've asked the author to include a setting to enable links to open in separate tabs to our forum, but as yet he hasn't got around to it, so the links will navigate away from County Heaven with a standard left-click. So for now, to keep this forum active when using the sidebar, either right-click on a link and then left-click 'open in new tab', or simply hold down the CTRL key and left-click on your chosen link. I hope you all find it to be a helpful addition. Cheers.

a good idea, but since i'm difficult, is there any chance of the author making it so it can go on the left hand side? i quite often grab the sidebar and drag it so i'll no doubt be navigating away on a regular basis by accident!

I was the one who asked him to update it to include an option to move it to the right, because I thought it would interfere with the 'new post' alerts on the left hand side of the forum, depending on the screen resolution of the user of course. I've just tested it and resized my browser to fit the forum exactly (1000 pixels), and it does indeed interfere with the new post alerts, mate.

cheers for the explanation gazz. i've discovered i can use adblock to block the images - that makes the bar miles shorter, so hopefully i'll only get the odd mishit now.

I'm with a_r_s in preferring easy access to the sidebar but I hardly ever use the links anyway. Sorry Gazza, it's excellent work as always but you did ask for feedback.

Thanks for your feedback, mate. That's yourself and ars who have requested it on the left, so the sidebar has now been moved to the left to test it, let me know how it looks there for you. Can everyone please let me know if it causes any problems on the left side of the forum. Those on higher desktop resolutions should not have any issues, but anything around 1024 may cause a slight problem with viewing 'new' post images next to some categories. Many thanks again.
