    Maybe at second level instead (Who's online, Members, Calendar) would not look so intrusive?

      But that bar doesn't appear on the What's New? view. It's only on the Home page - which people say they don't look at and which already has the link at the top of the sidebar. I felt very guilty about moving it up to the top of the list.

      Oh, it does appear if you're already viewing a topic. I could do that (I think).
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

        Hadn't twigged that, as I was looking at this thread at the time; so perhaps not so useful, but better than nothing.

          One wonders what has happened to ahinton, whose last post was on November 14 last year. I hope he is all right.

            Not posting on Facebook either, but obviously still around.

              He posted on Lebrecht's site a short while ago.

                I was thinking the other day that Ardcarp has been quiet, not posted since October. I guess FF may know something as he was a mod of some sort ( on The Choir ? ) at some point.
                I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

                I am not a number, I am a free man.

                  I've been wondering about this for a while. Ardcarp was the originator of the ill-fated politics thread that resulted in (ahem!) a bit of bother and the timing of his exit does suggest a possible connection.

                    Just seen this. Sorry it's been a bit of a hectic day

                    I have now made some enquiries and I can confirm that he was in his late 70s and sadly died last year, shortly after posting for the last time.

                      I think that he did start that thread with a certain caution, and although of strong views, he never really got involved in heated discussion .

                              That is most sad. May he be resting in peace in the great beyond.

                                Maybe he'll be back sometime.
