Some of you have seen a weird Toolbar mystically popping in and out of existence these last few days. That's because I have been installing, tweaking and testing it when I get free spots of time.

For now it's complete, so it will remain active. The Toolbar has the following features:
  • Angry Birds Rio
  • Pong
  • Teamspeak Viewer
  • Chatrooms
  • P2P Chat
P2P Chat is supposed to interact with the myBB Buddylist so you can control who can contact you. If you're not on the buddylist, people cannot chat with you - this is very important to stop people being spammed by those damn adbots. Right now this integration does not work and we're waiting on the developers fixing a compatibility issue; so for now P2P Chat is disabled. I'll let you all know when this is updated, but it'll likely be a few months.

Chatrooms are password protected and created on an as-requested basis. Chapters are welcome to ask for them in tickets if they think they need them. One thing you must be made aware of is that Chatroom messages do not persist, if you close the Chatroom you will be "logged out" and not see any messages. Therefore they cannot be a substitute for threads and posts as your message will only reach those logged in at the time of sending. Chatroom passwords are usually displayed at the top of their respective forums, but some are distributed by the "room owner".

Teamspeak Viewer shows who is online and in what channel, and has a button that launches TS3 and connects you to the server. Very useful for those members that regularly use it.

Enjoy!

EDIT: One more thing, there's an arrow button on chatrooms and applications that will "pop" the window off the bar and into a seperate "pop-up" window in your browser so you can stay in it when you leave the site or drag it to another monitor.

If only there had been Tetris ;_; Ah well, it's still really nice though ^_^

I'll not add that one yet. Want to see if anyone finds it lags as it is now before I add any more programs. If it's all good I'll add Super Mario ^~

Is there like a general chat room for general shit and breeze shooting somewhere?
X-Com: Top Secret organization created by a Top Secret sect of the United Nations or the Ordo Xenos?

Either way: Aliens die.

I regularly post on a smart phone, and a tall bar usually becomes rather annoying. Is there any way to disable it?

No there is not a general channel sorry. Right now it's just Inner Council, Moderation and Sanctuary (my "guinea pig" groups when testing). No other channels have as yet been requested for factions.

Far right of bar is a hide button bro

Nice update.
Is there a way to disable it in User CP for when you don't want it though?
The Ravenwings purpose is to hunt the Fallen.

The Fallen will be purged.

That's what it is./...I was actually going to post a ticket requesting a chat kinda thing as writhing pm's and recieving them requires you refreshing the page where as chat it'll just pop up...great for convo's or mini roleplays

To stand upon the bedrock of law is our great duty. To presume to stand above it is our worst heresy.
