(...) Hum.. You might want to put a link to POV-Ray as well. A link to Version 3.1g would be best for most users and Ver3.5 is still a bit *buggy* in terms of what most LDraw users do. Plus MEGAPov WILL NOT work with 3.5. Here is the link for the (...) (22 years ago, 11-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst, lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.curators)

All, As the new lugnet.inst curator, I have taken my first stab at updating the sidebar. I have added several cool features and have a few more ideas for I will be working on later.

(...) We haven't picked the standerd title text yet. once decided on, it'll probably be inserted automaticly above lists. I think we (admins) feel that the spotlight activity in the underlying groups will be called "Highlights", leaving the term (...) (22 years ago, 10-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)

I think that the name should be part of the spotlight FTX output. It should be consistent for all the groups. So I would like to ask that Todd et al. consider changing it to print a banner based on whatever consensus the curators arrive at, and for (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)

Difficult balance. lugnet.trains may be too far in the (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)

(...) only minor nit I have is that now all the 'news' links like the posting setup and the shortcut to people.newbie are scrolled off the bottom of the screen (at least, at 1024x768 they are).

(...) I went with "What is hot in lugnet.trains" for now... (URL) (it's below the trains poster which I think stays on top. Not sure how far down to move it though, our sidebar has a lot of stuff in it... for right now it's second on the list) (22 years ago, 7-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)

(...) This is very cool indeed. However I must protest, I put "[NewsSpotlight lugnet.foo.bar]" into the lugnet.trains group sidebar and I'm not getting any highlights from the lugnet.foo.bar group! No one must be posting there, I guess. :-) (22 years ago, 7-Aug-02, to lugnet.admin.curators)

(...) A generic term like "Pirates" isn't too confusing with "LUGNET" in front of it, but something like "Aquazone" or "Harry Potter" is going to look pretty strange like that.
