Sidebar
From CC Wiki
The sidebar (sometimes referred to as the "Right hand side" or RHS) defines the right part of the site that is constant over all pages. This part is used to deliver many of the social networking features of the Casual Collective.
The RHS consists of 3 parts. The first and top-most is a section that has tabs to switch between different views. Under that is a player's status or "twitter" which informs other members of what a user is doing. At the bottom is a feed of recent activity from all friends.

The tabs
- Friends - This tab lists all friends a user has. Those friends that are online are listed first and a button can be pressed to show offline friends. As friends change their status or join games they are bumped to the top of the friend list. Both the level of users as their twitter or their playing status are shown for every friend. You can also look up other member by typing in their name in the box below the friends list.
- Clubs - The clubs tab lists all the clubs a player is part of. If a club gets new shouts, news or forum posts and the tab will turn orange as an alert. When a particular section is closed on the clubs page, no alerts will be shown.
- Teams - All teams one is part of.
- Notes - Notes alert the user of things that other members have done that affect or need a response from the user. This includes being added as a friend, being invited to a club or a new shout in the user's shoutbox. The notes tab is also used to alert members to news that admins post.
- Scores - Scores lets the player view all the score boards from any game. This can be either the overall top score, the specific spot a player is on or a list where all friends are put in comparison.
- Star - The star tab allows for bookmarking pages. Unlike normal bookmarks however if anything changes on a starred page, the star tab turns orange to alert to the change.
The twitter allows users to post short messages that will be shown to all friends.
Activity feed
The activity feed shows all friends' latest activities.
Messages
Under the "message" system set up by the admins, messages for site announcements or advertisements for selected clubs will appear every 15 minutes. If the member has a Gold Membership, the messages will appear every 30 minutes.
Modifications
Users using the Casual Collective Plus can modify some of the sidebar.
