New Comments Feature!

Our helpful testers asked us for a quicker, more intuitive way to communicate from within lists, so we've obliged! You'll see comment icons in reviews, images and item facts all across the site, that look like this:


Roll your mouse pointer over the comment icon to reveal the comment pop-up bubble...



You can add comments straight away, as long as you're logged in, and if you check the "Keep me notified" box, you'll receive an email if anyone else adds a comment later. You'll also receive a mail if anyone comments on one of your items.


We've also replaced List Forums (all forum topics have been moved to Group pages) with a comments summary for each list. You can see up to 30 recent comments on any items within the list, with links direct to the item page...



So, if you've got something to say but don't want to write a full review, then just Comment!

New List Widget!

The List Widget is a great new feature on TheTop100.net, which allows you to grab a copy of any list to display on your blog or website. You can adjust the dimensions and the font size to suit your page, and the widget will update automatically. That means it's always up-to-date with current opinion, and you'll always be displaying the latest Top 100 items!

Best of all, it's totally FREE to use, so if you just want to keep track of your favourites Top 100 Films list, show who's top of The Top 100 Dinner Guests, or display your own Top 100 Products, go and grab a Top 100 List Widget now!

Can't find the perfect Top 100 list to suit your site? Simple, start your own...!


How the List Widget Works

We've tried to make things as simple as possible, so on each list page, you'll see a new ListWidget button, floating on the left hand side of the screen:



Click the button to bring up a preview of the List Widget, and then just follow these two simple steps:

1. Adjust the Height, Width and Font Size settings to fit your site or blog. The preview of the widget will update automatically.

2. Click the 'Get the Code!' button to generate the code you need, copy it, and paste it into your site.

That's it, you're done!
