ADD-ON IDEA: Floating "Discussion Topic" Bar

TomTester

On longer discussions I often catch myself repeatedly checking the window title bar
or even scroll back to the top to recall the discussion topic, especially when I have
several tabs open, or I'm interrupted while browsing.

Hence weird idea of the day:

FLOATING TOPIC TITLE BAR add-on:
Simple floating bar that appears topic title of current discussion that 'sticks' to the
top of the page when actively scrolling up/down?

Possible implementations:
A floating 'menu' based on 'floating menu' code or jQuery code
A fixed position floating DIV that appears when the topic title leaves the field of view
A fixed position floating DIV that appears ONLY while scrolling

Stash

Go on then Tom, jQuery's there ready and waiting to be taken advantage of

I'm almost done. Without jQuery, instead abused the floating search box code. Crude beta available.

It actually works pretty well, but now I want to add some user-selectable options (font size, background
color, floating bar top or bottom position, show username, posting date, etc.)

I find a bottom position works actually better than I'd anticipated. I'll email you a copy.
