Forum:Widgets!

If there is anyone reading this who hasn't yet tried out the widgets...can I just say.."GO ON GIVE 'EM A GO!" (They're tucked away under 'MORE' at the top of the page). I thought they may noticeably slow things down but they don't seem too. Of notable excitement for me is the slideshow (having set it to '0' so it browses all the images). Its thrown up lots of surprises that by clicking on the picture, takes you to the picture article and then the page links. (Sometimes the random page search I can find a little disappointing if I get lots of pages without content or only one line.) I've found articles that were tucked away, articles wrongly headed and others that reminded me of things I'd forgotten about! Its been quite nostalgic, and best of all it gives a changing visual on every page you visit! Alright I know some of the younger contributors may think.."yeh! So whats the big deal,its a widet, but seriously, for someone like me (who maybe is easily pleased!) and somewhat cautious with new 'things', its enhanced my wiki browsing experience and left me, well, quite inspired!

 * Try the shoutbox widget.-User:Skittles the hog


 * Well i decided finally to use a widget or two (Although i wish they were available with my usual skin Dark Lord Xander 13:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Could all acive user use the shout box as it useful for talking to each other and proggressing with the wiki. Currently only me and Quark16 actively use it and then only for general chat. It could become a useful tool. Just a thought--Skittles the hog 12:55, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Like I Said before i would use the wadjets but that would mean having to change the skin i use to view the wiki in and after using Monobook (i Think it is) for around 2 to 3 year on various wikis I don't really feel like changing Dark Lord Xander 01:54, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
