(tm) NewsLetter :: 2010-04-04 :: NEW COOL FEATURE, page 1

just a little announcement here... i don't want to make a whole news item for this, but i will mention this in the next main-page 'site-local news-block', whenever that happens... and here's what's inspired me to write this news-post...

now the old Control Panel on the top-left of your page has become very dynamic. before you'd have to left-click on the actual tabs (status, my..., stuff, etc) to have the info switched. not anymore! just place your mouse cursor over any of the tabs, and they'll load automatically. any page-tab that loads this way - onmouseover - will be considered 'rather fresh' for 60 seconds, so if this current tab has just been updated (or the page was just loaded) - it's short life-span begins its count, and when your mouse travels back over this tab later, the tab will only update if 1 full minute has passed since the last update, and it will not update earlier than that (talking "updates" i mean when your browser actually contacts the site to get newer info for a little part of the displayed page, for tabs on control panel in this situation, but it doesn't really reload the whole page, as you might notice).

that's all, i guess... in two words: tabs now switch just by placing mouse cursor over them, left-button clicks aren't required anymore.

ps. i've tested this feature in (rather) latest versions of FireFox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari and Opera. IE didn't want to save current tab in its Cookies, i'll be working on that, otherwise works fine in all main browsers. hope you like this!!

Slash, Nice touch, the function works well!

I also noted that there seems to be some sort of automated message system in regards to re seeds. Nice function that notifys you when there is a reseed on a file that you have downloaded.

this feature is much better than the old Tabs

the old tabs where kinda funny but idiotic at the same time

this is much better and more convenient and does everything fast

good work slash  

nice slash, little design things that make the character of the site.

thanks, friends!!

i was also wondering, do you want this reaction time a bit faster or a bit slower? now it's 0.5s - half a second.. or would you like to be able to adjust it in the Profile?

For me it works well as set at the 0.5 second mark

half a second is Ok,

but it would be better if i can change it in the profile to a second, cuz i might hover the mouse and leave it on a tab, while i dont want to change the tab

that's what i noticed too.. sometimes tabs switch too fast, and your slow motion to a target link on a tab changes into nervous retreat to re-select the tab agai.nbut sometimes i'd like them to switch faster....
