Merry Christmas everyone! If you use the Mozilla Firefox browser to navigate the internet, then you'll be able to enjoy this present! I've created an extension to Firefox that will allow you to more easily navigate the forums through the menu bar. You can download it here: (copy and paste it into the address bar because the link is broken after the first plus sign)
upload2.net/page/download/tQVjH6c4eWBJNfp/YC+Menu+BETA.xpi.htmlIf there are any technical questions, comments, complaints or anything else they can be dealt with here. Hope this will be useful for everyone! I'd like to also mention that this extension is based off another one, located here: addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2302/ I'd also like to credit Yonie for beta testing this extension! To Install: just drag and drop the file into Firefox, and it *should* display an install dialog box. Install it and restart the browser, there should be a new drop down menu in the menu bar. Don't have/use Firefox? You can get that here: www.mozilla.com |

I only have one question:
How exactly do I install it after I download it? I don't exactly have a program that handles .xpi files.

Like I already told you over MSN, this works well.
For those others that do download this, I have only found one bug: the menu does not close when you select an option with a middle click.

Before I download this, may I ask what it exactly adds? Or just a little, if it's too much to mention? And is it only for YC or for other forums as well?
Sorry for the many questions, just have to be sure. ^^;

Sorry for the many questions, just have to be sure. ^^; I know exactly what you mean and I'd be glad to explain. In every application that is made for Windows there is a menu bar at the top containing menus that allow you to execute commands, like File, Edit, View, ect. My extension adds a new menu called "Yoshi's Corner Forums" which gives you a list of hyperlinks to make moving around the forums easier. When you click on the menu it presents a drop down menu just like all the other ones do. The menu is divided up into the same sections as the forum. The links that you can click on take you to each one of the sections of the forums like the Yoshi Cafe. The only reason this works it because these links stay constant, unlike the actual threads which change and are created at random times. This extension will only work for this forum, but I have created ones for other forums too. If anyone wants me to make one for another forum I can, just ask. There are also links for everything that stays constant in the forums in the extension. Here are some screenshots to help explain better than me rambling: img365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yc1he4.pngimg299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yc2hc7.pngimg365.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yc3sa2.pngimg299.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yc4nk8.pngAny other questions, feel free to ask away! Also suggestions for improvement or changes are welcome too. |

Thanks for clearing it out! I'm going to install it once I get on my home PC. I just have to see if I'm gonna use it that much, but I think I will. =P
Edit; Looks like I'm not able to install or even open it. =/
