Default What does everybody think about a forum toolbar?

I think it would be a great idea for the forum. It could contain things such as links to different sections of the site, downloads (obviously only available to registered members) and the usual stuff that goes on a toolbar (weather forecaster, e-mail notifier, radio etc). What does everybody think?

Stop being lazy lol. Bookmarks can do all that .

I'm just messing with ya. It could be a good idea but I feel it's easy enough to navigate through the forums.

I may not be a great poster (looks at post count) but I read a lot here before I joined. I understood everything through trial and error (kein system, bricked modems and card info input) instead of posting every two minutes with questions but I'm very familiar with this place regardless of my post count.

In defence of your idea. Just because I feel it's easy to navigate through this site, this might not be shared by others.

i agree m8 very easy to search /find what your looking for, same here with post count(not that im bothered),read and learn if i can't help i keep my mouth closed!!!!!!

just for the record i think a toolbar would be a touch OTT to be honest by the time i've got all the other toolbars B*g**q, W****dM**s, and isohunt i wont be able to see the screen lol

I hate tool bars, that space at the top is reserved for things I can't get rid of, the blue bar, everything else on the next bar then tabs under that. Well organised bookmarks are where I keep my links.

Some like toolbars though.

Aye I'm the same m8. I was learning and reading people's resolved problems so there was nobody to help once I found out what I needed. I should have spent more time on the forums rather than just reading as you all seem pretty cool.

Lol look at the pic posted by TDF. It looks more complicated than N3 encryption .

Hi a toolbar can be very handy say for the download's. But then again
it might take away from the Forums, people just useing the bar and not helping other's on the forums. Mind you if we did get one I wonder could we have a raido & television on it that way the sat folk's can do a bit of live streaming tv. Just to show the rest of us what we are missing..
