    As I said earlier I think it's awesome. I just hope it can apply to every area of PC, including new posts, etc.
     
    Just saying that on my iPod touch the bar goes through a random part of the screen where you can't read everything. However this looks really cool and I can't wait to use it!
     
    Don't really know how much you can really do about this, but I thought I would point it out.

    In Chrome, when you hover over a link or picture or you click on a board to go to the next page or post or do anything, the url comes up in the bottom left hand of the browser and overlaps the bar, like so:

    Ah! I was wondering where this came from. XD

    I must say that it is really convenient to have this context bar and I've not encountered any issues as of now. Great job! :D

    It's not a huge problem though, as Chrome is smart enough to move the url to the right hand side when you hover over something in that corner.

    On thing worth noticing is that you can't slide across the buttons and have them highlight without moving off and on again.

    Also, would it be possible to disable this for mobile browsers?
     
    Um, Jake, it covers up the style menu on some themes (Route 167 is the one I first noticed it on). Not sure how you can fix that. :/

    EDIT: Also, it's borked on some themes and just shows a really ugly bulleted list up top.

    The links/loading messages issue is the same in Firechrom- I mean, firefox 4 :(

    Also what Geoff said. It even blocks the link to the ModCP.

    in some themes it breaks the (overall) width causing a bottom scrollbar.
     
    I noticed that the jump to first unread post and post button does not work. I am using Firefox 4 and Forever Standing 2 (Beta).

    I suppose it would be somewhat useful once I got used to it... but it's rather unnecessary, don't you think? All of these buttons are already easy to access on the forum as it is. Edit: I see that there's an option to disable it, which means it's just more freedom for us to use the site how we like, which I'm always a fan of.

    I'll go ahead and test it out though.

    Everything seems to work fine, except I have to press the Post a Reply button twice to get it to actually take me to the reply box.
     
    Very nice add-on. I kinda agree with Team Fail, we should be able to create our own little bookmarks to a thread we want or something :)
     
    Still have it for me. (Forever Standing 2)

    And adding onto what @Team Fail said. Im not sure if its possiple to code in but
    A [Subscriptions] (What exactly is this?) or a [Threads][Bookmarks] thing at the bottom too but when you click on it a list comes up (still 'on' the bar really) the list the chosen [quick link] areas?

    Just a idea

    I like this I guess.. might be usefull ;)

    Subscriptions is threads you have "subscribed" to. You just check your subscribed threads section to see if any have received a reply! It's kinda like a bookmark thing :)
     
    Wasn't it already a part of the The Johto Elite? xD; Probably why I didn't noticed the change.. but if it's gonna start showing up on all / most of the layouts, that'll be totally awesome. I love that idea, personally.
