or at least move it somewhere else, like maybe the top of the screen rather than the bottom. might be nice if it faded or disappeared when you do a mouseover or click on something else.

on my browser and with my screen/resolution, it makes it impossible to watch replays without going to full screen (or at least be able to watch while also having access to click on any of the controls for the replays).

was this toolbar tested?

edit: just did daily training for all my dots and such and really would be better if this thing was on top or the side. also, it seems like something that could just be a button that expands/unwraps when you want it. for me, I imagine that 95% of the time I'll rather not have it there at all.

also, on a related subject, why not be able to integrate the current friends list with toolbar friends list?

more edits: seems to be a problem with search function when trying to add friends.

also when you click "profile" next to someone's name that you've added it just goes to your GLB home page. this part is really annoying because if you are in the midst of writing a forum post or a PM (or if somehow you did this while working on your AI) it just loads your home page

also the tabs that rise up from the toolbar really need to disappear on their own when you try to look at something else. they just get in the way and it would be a pain to click on the X every time.

Getting off the original suggestion, so would a Mod please change Title of thread to "Fixes to WGG Social Toolbar"

Also, if you have multiple tabs open in GLB which I almost always do, each one has a social toolbar and when i get a chat message all of the tabs start blinking. annoying.

Not currently, but it is the part of the site that will kind of tie together all the WG products, and includes HTML that's required for other stuff to work.

Guess I might try to work out a "minimize" type function though, where it could slide down to being like 3 pixels tall or something.

But in the meantime I think an adblocking software can do this

What new features? You mean the instant messenger?

Yes should be easy enough to include that in the tabs and still make it function the same as it does now

Also need to be able to show as offline when you don't want to be bothered by anyone. Right now, you would have to set yourself to friends only and then block all your friends to accomplish this

The minimize function must have been just added. It wasn't there when I first logged on this morning, I don't think.

pretty sure it's new

in any case, does this satisfy the OP?


All of the bugs with the search etc, submit support tickets, as that's for bugs... otherwise it might be a better idea to just start a new separate thread for anything else that needs to be suggested.

alright then I'm going to lock this one as it appears Bort has implemented it as much as possible


please send in a support ticket for bugs related to this bar (yes it was tested in GLB 2, but that was much smaller user base etc...)


If you have further suggestions for the social bar, please make a new thread. Thanks
