Just have found an announcement from Popularity Contest plugin creator that it's not recommended to use it anymore. I'd love to have Popular Posts feature in tabbed sidebar, but I guess it needs to be implemented in a different way.

"I wrote the Popularity Contest plugin for WordPress back in May of 2005. It had a good run, but that run is over. We are no longer developing or supporting Popularity Contest, and I recommend letting it rest peacefully.

Why? It does too much, and too little at the same time.

It does too much. Popularity Contest tracks each page load. In order to make this compatible with caching plugins, this functionality was abstracted to be done via a second AJAX call (or tracker image in feeds) that bypasses your site’s caching system.

In other words, with Popularity Contest enabled and a caching plugin installed, each visit to one of your pages still generates an additional dynamic page load request to your server. This is how it has to work, but it’s too much for most commodity hosting environments.

It does too little. While Popularity Contest is tracking each page load and updating aggregate numbers relating to your site’s activity, there is a significant diminishing of returns as you use the plugin over time.

There is no granular data tracked, meaning you cannot plot trends or view popularity in specific time slices. In fact, what I saw on this site was that the most popular posts became simply a list of what ranks highest for popular searches in Google.

With all of the free and low-cost analytics solutions out there, you’re better off using a service to get this sort of information rather than doing it yourself. I’d recommend Google Analytics, WP.com stats or more advanced solutions like KISSmetrics, Reinvigorate, etc.

While I don’t recommend reviving Popularity Contest for the reasons listed above, but if you’re interested in forking or looking at the code you are welcome to do so. I pulled a copy of the code from the WP.og SVN repository and put it up on GitHub. The wp30 branch probably works with the latest version of WordPress with few needed revisions."

Thanks!

Not a real biggie . . . just an idea.

I manage the website http://timetotest.net and I must admit that I find a real lack scoring system.
It would be nice to create one with features like:
- Show score from thumbails
- An overview of the game
- The pluses and minuses of the game

This would be essential, at least for the classical gamer theme

Thanks!

eg:
First menu - TV, secondary = soap, drama, etc etc

Something like this when you click on NEWS etc: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/

Thank you.

I searched for text resizer scripts, like this one:

But I'm not able to make it working... It works only for the sidebar body font and not for the article content?
Do you know the

Edit these icons in the theme options.

Sry but my english is not good.

The popularity contest is not supported anymore  and it is not working in my Arras theme. There is also a confilct with the tag cloud so I installed Culumbus separately which is working that way.

Are there any plans to develope the in-bound tab widget to be more flexible for us to be able to apply plugings/functions of our choice?

It would be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Author profile can be enabled/disabled in the theme options but I just need to have the opportunity to do that only for pages.

Is there any plan to make this option more flexible for the admin to be able to choose weather he wishes to enabled/disabled the author profile in posts, pages, etc. separately?

Regards,

Right now everyone is working with plugins. Some work, others barely do. If you support a mobile theme in the Arras theme itself, you will give yourself a huge head start over the competition, making Arras the number #1 free theme (seriously).

Just think about it, it will be the most valuable upgrade of free themes ever.
