If you are using Firefox it might be easy to open our Portal twice. On the first one you can play the Jukebox and on the other you can browse the Forum. Very relaxing I must admit (Firefox allows you to open several pages simultaneously in 1 screen)

Good luck !

And those who have IE7 and Apple's OSX Safari, it's possible too.

Another thought would be to make the jukbox a floating palette. Is that possible? Maybe the bulletin board software doesn't give you that option but it could be hand coded in.

Cheers,

phpbbs has a mod, see the main web site and mods, for a music page as well...

I am adding that into the Future Hi forums soon for all the podcasts and interviews for the members there. www.futurehi.net If you peek at the main site, click media and you will some of the items I plan on putting on that music page mod....
mods are not for the faint of heart now and require each upgrade, to be re-moded. easy-mod is a big help for these things but not the 100% solution ...

The player here works well, just open a new window but it's also not 100% for all who use. You just can't please them all.

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions. Actually, we are working on a solution as we speak. I always thought the current situation was far from perfect.

We're still testing the new solution (it has some strange behaviour in IE 6), but the first results look promising. No rocket science, just a different player which opens in a new (small) window.

Anyway, my time is extremely limited at the moment, so all the work needs to be done in the weekends. We'll let you know when it's finished. Until that moment, enjoy the great music in the good old jukebox.
