Done. Listed all that I could find and that I know of. If I missed any, please post a reply here...

I don't. But I do know people that do. My point has nothing at all to do with the percentage of the people that do so, but rather the statement that others were making in this thread that it was no problem at all to use Firefox, simply because they wanted to get their way.

For the record, I USE Firefox and I USE Greasemonkey. This isn't about me. That doesn't mean I can't make reasonable arguments against something that doesn't apply directly to me.

Dako might remember that I am one of those people who has system issues and cannot load Firefox. Well, I can load it, it just destabilizes and bluescreens my computer, so I cannot use any of those addons. There were others who commented on a thread in bugs and other who commented on threads in the addons forum claiming they had issues with firefox/google chrome/BOB/greasemonkey in terms of system requirements/system destabilization/personal computer slowing down/etc.

@Woodruff - I never told that you had problems with FIrefox. I actually do read your posts (sometimes twice ;)) and you have already stated that you use them and see no problem. But anyway, I think that supporting minority is overrated nowadays, in most of the sphere, be they computer gaming or political strategies.

@QH - Yes, I remember your case. But inability to use Firefox... sorry, but I can only say that your computer system is flawed and you need to reinstall Windows. Firefox is like Google or Facebook - it cannot be not working on itself.

I normally play on computers where I can have add-ons installed, but not always.

I would like to see the following implemented into the site. If these were implemented I could play on any computer or device.

BOB
Mainly Snapshots, Map Inspect, and colour coded drop downs with troop counts.

Assault Odds

That's my short list.

Can we get links to the corresponding Add-On for each of those? Yes, I could go look it up in the Add-On forum, but it would probably be best to have everyone referring to the same thing. Besides, it's probably asking too much of most of the people that post on here to take extra effort to familiarize themselves with all the listed add-ons unless they're particularly interested (just to be clear, I'm in that same group - I really couldn't tell you what "Turn Watch," for example, does, and I haven't bothered to go find out).

Can't. Polls can only support up to 15 options. And there are more than 15 Add-ons currently listed.

Ah, I did not know that. Perhaps a couple of polls that split items into "like items" then?

Help me out. Have I listed too many or too few? Do I need a descriptor for each?

I would include a link to each thread. Other than that, and the actual opinions rolling in, I'm pleased.

There are not suggestions for each of these. There are; however, links to each of the add-ons. Do you want me to link to the add-on forum pages?

Which add-ons would you like to see built in first?

In the coming weeks, I will compile links to suggestions to turn an add-on (script, greasemonkey, BOB, maprank, whatever) into a built-in component to the site.

This week we happily received the clickable maps (previously an add-on) as a built-in component to the site. Post here if you would like to see other applications made into permanent aspects of the site.

I'm taking a cue from another suggestion and self-reserving the next two posts so that more information can be added in those posts and edited over time...polls will come and go...results will order the add-ons in list of community desired priority...

List of add-ons in order of community desire:
  • First poll will determine the initial list

Links to various suggestions about turning an add-on into a built-in and a list of the add-ons that don't have a suggestion associated with them:
  • Turn chatglove into a built-in. This allows for easier communication between teammates:
    viewtopic.php?f=4&t=138619&start=0
  • Find all games with XXX and you. AKA "Have I played this person before?"
    viewtopic.php?f=4&t=139551&start=0
  • Provide maprank for all users
  • Some of BOB (map inspect, snapshots)
  • Assault Odds
  • Clan Rank
  • Conquer Club Watcher
  • Tell Me When Notifier (icon)
  • Turn Watch
  • BOB
  • Dice Analyser
  • Assault Odds
  • In-game Analysis
  • Map Rank GL
  • Score Charts
  • Games Filter
  • Hide Annoying Signatures
  • Hide Unwanted User Posts
  • Floating Game Chat
  • Game Link
  • Game Jump
  • Watch This Game
  • Saved Searches
  • Conquer Club Speed Turns (extension)
  • ConquerTell Notifier (extension)
  • Saved Searches For IE
  • Mac OSX Dashboard Notifier
  • Conquer Club Maps And Mapmaker Webpage


How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • This will help group those add-ons that users like the most into one place where hopefully they can one day be built into the site


I'd have to say chatglove, some of BOB, dice analyzer. maybe even BOB

on a side note i see assault odds was listed twice :-$

I think that all add-ons, especially clickies, should be abolished. Instead of making the coding more complex, why not simplify it and get back down to the basics of Risk, strategy and CC? :) I've played my few years on this site with nothing whatsoever besides cunning and brilliance. I built my way from noob to captain, and then eventually major, as a freemium. Why not reintroduce "fun"? :P I mean, what's really the point of fog if BOB's going to analyse every move and tell you what occurred (particularly the snapshot feature)? Might as well play without fog.
