Talking Balls Toolbar

[Jeff]

I've created a browser toolbar with the latest news, forum threads, LCFC links, plus a radio player, games, weather and other stuff.

There are versions for Internet Explorer and Firefox.

You can get more information and download the toolbar from http://talkingballs.co.uk/toolbar.php

This is my first attempt at doing one of these so I'd appreciate any feedback so I can improve it.

I hid mine, then I went to unhide it,and it has disappeared off the left side of the screen.

I have clicked the two "expand" arrows and it won't reappear.

The only think i dont like is the large text of talkingballs on the left hand side.

9/10

I installed it in Firefox 3 this morning. After installing it I had lots of page load errors "Unable to connect to server", it was taking 2 or 3 attempts to load any page, not just on this site. When the page did load on this site, a lot of the time it was missing the style sheet and I had to F5 a few times to get the page to load correctly.

I'm after uninstalling it about 1/2 hour ago and I'm having no problems at all now.

No problems so far with FF3 here

How did you hide it?

 

[Jeff]

Would people like more news sources and LCFC links?

View/Toolbars/Untick

"Hide" is probably the wrong terminology, sorry.

I think the LCFC Links are fine.

Is there a way of 'reading' all the RSS feeds in one go, i have 118 unread and its going to rise as i'm never going to read them all.

You can delete them, but you have to do it for each of the four feeds. Go to the feed and click on the picture of a bin at the bottom.

I've not been able to replicate this problem so I have no idea what's causing it. Anyone else have any ideas?
