Two questions: [TT] tag and forum sidebar

Two little suggestions, which would make my life a bit easier:

1. I like using [TT] tag to place inline pieces of code, too small to be placed inside of code tags, like variable names, function names, etc. However, contents of this tag are sometimes replacecd by smileys: std::string::operator somefoo(myclass::pointer p) <<not really a compilable example, just to show where problem is :) Could it be possible to disable smileys for [TT] tag, the same way it is done for [code] tag?

2. Could we have dev-archive forum sidebar panel for Opera, Firefox, and God knows which other browsers? Some Polish forum I post at uses such panel to show contents of New Posts window, and I would be really glad to see same thing here.

Thank you,
Maciek

I'm not sure what this is. Can you point me to more information, a screen shot, or something?

Thanks,

The tt tag is a custom tag we added that does a simple converstion of the tt forum tag to an HTML tt tag. The easiest way to get around the issue you mention is to simply check the "Disable smilies in text" button when submitting a post.

I attach some screenshot to demostrate how does sidebar look in Opera panel and Firefox favourities bar. Unfortunately, I have no IE7 installed to test it. Technically, it is regular page, displayed in independent area of a browser window. The one I present shows contents similar to "New Posts" page here at CG, and refreshes itself periodically.

Here is some technical details: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/jsexamples/createSidebar.php

Forgive me Polish text on the screenshots, I could not find any English website with any representative example.

Thank you,

Looks like it may be an RSS feed? That's the forum software. We don't make many changes to it.
