There are those who would gladly take over the responsibilities of maintaining it, but I fear it has been abandoned

Hey Ken,

These people you speak of taking over the maintenance, would any of them have the ability to start from scratch with a completely new one?

I've always had problems with the current.

The feed input has been severely overloaded since it was first developed last year. Compare the member at that time and have a look now to see that some 7,000 or so have signed up only in the last two months.

Unfortunately starting from scratch would be the thing needed at this time to once again see a gadget that works and is not taxed by the steadily growing feed to it. The overload on the present one scrambles up the display making it awkward for most to use.

and there's the answer

Hi Doc, Long time since we've crossed paths. Hope your time is still being used wisely, ohh wait look who I'm talking too, you can do anything with time. So what do you see in our future regarding the Seven Forums Gadget? lol Go ahead into the future and let us know what you see. lol
P.S. Nice Sig, Awesome Graphics work there.

I wish I knew how myself to make a gadget/program, but its well out of reach for me. A tweak here and there maybe, but a whole new one, ...no chance.

I wish Limneos would return and work out the existing or if needed start from scratch.

I bet someone out there is looking for a wanted gadget project to build, we just need to find him or her, or have them somehow find us.

I Hope limneos doesn't take offense to this, but since it appears he longer has the time and/or for whatever reason hasn't logged in for awhile, I've taken it upon myself to ask for help.

Over at the MSN Message boards I've posted asking if any developers would be interested in helping us out with creating a new one.

The thread can be found here at Sevenforums Needs a New Gadget.

I have no idea how many developers look there, but I felt it necessary to try something as I would love to use a new gadget built for the forum. I've liked gadgets from day one, but always had trouble with the current one. So we'll have to wait and see what happens. Like I said, I don't know much about the MSN Gallery\Message boards\Sidebarsite, as the thread posted today was my first visit.

I dont think Limneos would mind, and there are several developers here who would take it over, but it would require access to the external server, and Johns approval.

All this for something that only about 20-25 ppl use. Dont get me wrong I use it and love it.

I would think if the gadget worked better than its current status, then many more members would be interested in using it. The amount of users is low for the current one is most likely due to all of its glitches, ...thats why I'm not using it.

Maybe a new thread with poll asking members if they would be interested in using a new forum gadget. That would give us some idea as to how many would use it. There are a lot of members here that sign in every day. Its those members I beleive that would be interested in using a gadget that was well laid out and free of glitches.

Now that I think about it, it probably wouldn't be that hard to edit the current gadget so it didn't show what users where currently logged in. I believe thats the main issue. If the current gadget did away with displaying currently logged in members it might once again be satisfactory to use. I might look into that.
