Thread Icons on Main Page

What addon is this? http://www.the-mainboard.com/

Not any add-on I've seen before - It simply looks like a custom page/module (you could get it done with xenporta) which links to threads within their mainboard forum and 5 subforums. It's interesting the concept, but I think it's a little messy. Innovative at the same time though...

Couldn't they be using Waindigo's add-on? Thread starter with privileges to select url or upload? Cannot remember what it is called...

Do you see the arrows on the side? It scrolls or refreshes to show more threads, then when you click a icon an overlay shows search results for that subject.

This looks way more involved than any xenporta block I've ever seen.

I must not be seeing what you guys see on mobile...

Seems to be a custom mod, they are using something like thread prefixes instead of forums.

This is that board's competitor: http://forum.team-boards.net/

Thread about it here: http://www.the-mainboard.com/index....sports-board-looks-incredibly-like-tmb.104973

Looks like their competitor had the same set up at first but then tried something different.

I think their trending topic's sidebar is better than thread icons IMO.

But even so, thread-icons is still a great idea since clicking on them shows more than one result.

It's a javascript mechanism. All you'd need is the html code, customized css and the jquery scroll to accomplish that, which can easily be done in Xenporta if you know html, css and jquery. Then there's custom code that opens in an overlay. It'd take some doing if you know how to tweak. But it's clearly possible LOL

AND WHOA!!!!!!!!! Must be nice to have those stats = DAYUM!
