Tilted Forum IE Toolbar - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

An idea my buddy and I began and decided that it should be left to the professionals before we really ruin something.

But what we were attempting to create was a toolbar for IE that would log you on automatically to TFP by a click, so certain searches, have the jump forum bar, and have a Favorite Forum feature.

We have the Google Toolbar for spell check but we needed something to do when we have a little time remaining in our computer resource center.

Anyone else think the TFP Bar would be handy? Anyone think they can make it?

Well, if you were using Firefox and wanted to invest just a timy amount of time, a guy over at the TivoCommunity.com website created a similar extension. TivoCommunity also runs on vBulletin 3, so it should be an easy conversion. (I'd also recommend asking permission to hack on his extension, to be polite.) There's also a second extension on that site that creates a search plugin for the bulletin board.

wouldn't this be the same as an RSS feed?

...:Is confused: Aren't RSS feeds just like scrolling news feeds, I have them going on my chat program. No, what I was thinking about was like this new Google Toolbar that came out, http://toolbar.google.com/T3/index but having it designed for TFP: spell check, forum searches, forum jumpers, and even a favorite forum drop down.

"Today's on fire / The sky is bleeding above me / And I am blistered."
Great song.

oh ok. Sorry I guess I was sorta confused. I know that TFP currently offers RSS feeds. I probably wouldn't use the toolbar but it would be pretty cool to see
