Re: Com Unit
We're aware it's quite easy to hit the com unit link when trying to access the politics page, the problem is a bit depending on what skin you have,
but exist in all and, as crowly said, theres something which firefox really doesn't like about it.
We've considered replacing it with a new "chat" thing, either a updated version of what we have or something new/different.
Regardless of which "option" we choose it might be worth considering moving the link to a less used area, so people don't accidentally hit it, sadly this means pretty much all skins needs changing. Something which in itself is unavoidable with any real change/update we do.

Re: Com Unit
just move it to somewhere where its not close to anything else, how hard can that be...
it does take a long long time to load and quite often crashed my Ffox

Moving the link itself is simple enough, however if you look at the skins they mostly have images for the menu, moving one of'em means the design usually breaks, meaning some change would have to be made to the skin itself, which would be for just about every skin.

Re: Com Unit
I was actually talking about this the other day, glad its not only me who keeps on clicking it by accident.
I thought of just blocking that particular address so at least it wouldn't crash my browser, but I couldn't find how to in Firefox. Anyone know?

Re: Com Unit
it has happened to me several times aswell. But the long loading times in Ffox are unknown to me. SUN Java starts asking something and then it loads in 5 seconds. Maybe you should try dl'ing java to prevent a crash.

Re: Com Unit
Do people actually use the com unit? Are there any statistics on it's usage? Because it seems pretty much everyone either uses mIRC or cgi:irc if they are at work etc...

Re: Com Unit
Didn't we have this whole thing with recalling fleets, ordering ships, cancelling orders, and all the other crap like that.
JUST BE A BIT MORE CAREFUL WHERE YOU ARE CLICKING. It isn't hard.

Re: Com Unit
Why?
You'll just moan then that it is too close to the Universe link, or the Stats link.
'It's out of the way, new players won't find it easily.' Etc.
The last time people moaned because they couldn't control where the hell they clicked we ended up with confirm action tick boxes. Annoying as hell.

Re: Com Unit
Have a prompt that asks "Do you really want to open a crappy comunit that will crash your browser?" Either that or relocate it to some obscure corner where no one will click unless they were actually looking for it.

Re: Com Unit
It's a very minor gripe, if at all really.
It's an issue with skin design and distinguishing it in its own space if anything. All that's required is a slight toggle for clean black (i'm presuming that's what the players talking here use)
