BOB stats aren't updating in game like they should until you reload the page in FF4:

i took the island bonus from green but the stats didn't update...do like the pretty colored lines tho

I don't like the colored lines actually, they will probably be removed with the next update :p, and I'll check the stats updater.

Looks like this is a bug in greasemonkey, you probably have growl installed but not running:

When the new CC_Clickable was created, I turned indicators "off".... along with it, BOB's colouring of the pull-down of where to attack lost its colour. (ie., where it normally shows the colour of the enemy who currently holds the territory.)

I updated GM Clickable Maps, now BOB 5.1.4 is making me confirm each move TWICE although all confirmations are set to off under BOB. ???

I haven't changed any CC_Clickable settings, but I noticed the loss of colour in the pulldowns and the loss of troop counts on the Reinforce To menu. In general, some menus look right, at least to begin with, but they seem to revert to the site default look under some circumstances.

Does Map inspect stop the Main site clickies from working?

Yeah, basically. It adds a layer to the map, and you click that layer in stead of the territories the main site clickies checks. So the clicks on the map don't seem to work.

Thats pretty useful actually.
I've noticed bob also prevents middle-click from beginning turn automatically? For similar reasons I presume?
Everything else pretty much works as it should.

in the past few hours I have noticed that Bob keeps getting turned off ... each time I go into a map I have to click on the START BOB link in upper right of my screen in the same area that tells :

[refresh map] [map size] [colour codes] [side stats] [indicators] [Start Bob]

until I clink the link ... all the chat looks funny bcus I use Screen shots so they are long lines until Bob sets them back looking like normal .. also all the other Bob features are off as well. I am currently using 5.1.4

I hope this isn't too obvious, but have you got Auto BOB turned on? It's the third item in the BOB Menu over there on the left. Maybe you accidentally turned it off.

Thanks for the OBVIOUS answer ...

now the only question I have is .... how or why did I get that in the OFF postition? lolll

Hello,

Just wondering if there is any word on a workaround for the lost colors and troop numbers in the drop down menu after the clicky update? I posted a few times in that thread, but was told to come here.

Thanks!

Maybe i will get used to this new feature but so far I'm a skeptic. I updated to 4.7 and typing A/Q to shift 10 units still does not work all the time.This seems more of a hindrance to speed games as you can not quickly deploy ONE unit or spam place a few units quickly between different regions. I'm not sure if I would have won the few games this has messed me up but there was definitely a chance. Reinforcing still has its bugs too. You can not easily click one region and send to another. Be sure to see what boxes are highlighted on the map because those are the regions you will reinforce from/into regardless of what the scroll-down menu says. Very frustrating on chain or adjacent maps. Is there going to be a feature to use the old clicky map version? That would be very nice.

Here we go.Sherk I sent u 2 pm's about this.Spoke to K.A for 3 days and also spoke with Dako.I have been having serious issues with BOB ever since the new clicky map feature came out on Monday(Reason why I say BOB is because K.A said that is what it has to be).There are no # of troops in the attack boxes for some terr.Same goes with forts.I am running Fire Fox 3.6-BOB 5.1.4 and Grease Monkey 0.9.1.I have been trying to get help with this for 5 days now and have come up empty handed.Please help me out.I sent u 4-5 pics of this.If u need them again please say so.OH,I do not use any clickable maps at all.I use BOB+Map Rank.I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled.Deleted and downloaded over and over.Plus,the colors are also gone in the assault/fort boxes.

No offense, I guess it's understandable that this isn't functioning as it used to because of the change, but is it really such a huge loss to not have colour codes or troop numbers in the drop down box?

Sure it is Leehar.I don't have to keep scrolling up to look at how many troops I am attacking or who I am attacking or forting.What do u mean,drop down box?I am talking about the attack boxes shown here:

I know many enjoy the new feature but I was fine with what I had.I never used clicky maps at all and just want what I was using to go back to normal.Is that asking much?

It is annoying when you lose a feature that you have grown accustomed to having. I would hope that this won't be too difficult to fix, as the colours and numbers show up occasionally (perhaps when the attack phase first begins, or when the system is forced to pick a new territory to attack from, because of lack of troops or targets), but they definitely disappear as soon as you choose a different territory to attack from. I suspect this is causing the system to change the drop-down list of targets without letting BOB know.

Yeah, ender is right. I should test it a bit, but that's essentially what happens, and I'm not sure I can do something about it.

I tried to update BOB, but when I uninstalled it to have a fresh install of BOB (which I always do) and went to install BOB again, it doesn't do anything after I press 'Install'. I remember somebody else having this problem before and I wasn't sure if they just weren't waiting for the countdown to finish to be able to install.

I click the 'GET BOB' in the first post, go to the userscript site, click 'install' and the usual script install box comes up. When I try to hit the 'Install' button after the countdown is done, the button gets pushed in as if I'm clicking it, but then it doesn't do anything. I have tried rebooting my system with a fresh instance of Firefox running, but still the same problem. Any idea how to fix this?
