Statusbar shows status and clock with time of next game to expire.
Right Click on Statusbar gives game jump to any ready game.

Please read the help window on install before posting here, thanks.

Impressive. I haven't played with it much yet, but I can immediately tell how great it is for account sitting (since I'm currently sitting someone).

On the help menu, clicking the button shows the menu over all the other buttons. Should it replace the text below the buttons or at least show up below those?

No that's how I had it, but I could change that.

Wow, very nice, chip.

Here are some bugs and suggestions:

You can enter negative number in "reload time". Also, do not allow to enter numbers lower than 5 (I guess) - or people might be able to spam CC API and the firefox itself will get laggy. I tried to enter 0.1 seconds and I was barely able to change that back to normal.
If you enter Auto login and click cancel - the option in menu will be checked but disabled.
If you logout of CC - that changes autologin to disabled. if it is a correct behavior - it is not mentioned in help.
Please change shortcuts description to Ctrl+Alt from Alt+Ctrl. We all know that you need to mention Ctrl before Alt.
I was not able to jump to game from status bar. Sidebar works fine.
Would it be hard to make a list of usernames for fast switching? I'd like to enter all my teammates names there and be able to switch the view for them with a few clicks.

Other than that - looks perfect, already using it myself!

As always, greatly done Chipv ! =D>

(I now use Conquertell for when I have to sit for someones account !)

Thanks for report, Dako, extremely useful. Comments below in red

Yep will fix

This is correct behaviour otherwise you will be logged in immediately after logging out.

Ok
I was not able to jump to game from status bar. Sidebar works fine.
Mind-bendingly irritating, this was working. OK

Has been asked for already, yes I will look into this

One more things. I know that Team View is synchronized with My Games menu <li>. All the time I am confused that I have some turns when it is my teammates turns. Can you detach them so My Games has only my own turns shown, and status bar/sidebar show the number for the setting I've chosen?

This is going to be tricky because a lot of users asked me change this to the way it is now -
i.e. it shows exactly what has been requested. I will need to see a consensus.
(I did have it the way you want at first).

by **Dako** on Fri Jul 02, 2010 1:37 pm

My point of view that if something says "My Games" there should be info only about my games. It is illogical to have there a different number and it makes me feel deceived =(.

So yeah, I would like to see a consensus too. Cause I know you'd like to sync all things together, but I think this one is a different thing (or let me disable it and use previous Ready Turns).

by **kamahl** on Sat Jul 03, 2010 11:36 pm

Why not simply have it as an option, so both groups could have it the way they wanted?

by **chipv** on Mon Jul 05, 2010 5:19 am

That sounds reasonable, ok.

I have implemented ability to add usernames (for sitting accounts) but re-reading your requirement looks like you
can already do this with team view which shows all your teammates turns - is that what you wanted?

I still think there is merit in allowing adding users especially for people who sit for accounts so I'm going ahead with that one.

by **Dako** on Mon Jul 05, 2010 6:36 am

No, I meant teammates not as actual teammates but as in my games but as friends to be able to fastswitch to a specific user (and have his single/combined/team views).

So yes, I would liek to be able to store a list of usernames to switch between them.

Ok I see what you mean but what I am doing is allowing addition of users so you can simultaneously look at
multiple users games rather than having to keep switching between users.

Dako + friend1 + friend2 all together.

You can add and delete to this list quickly. I think this catches what you want?
(This is primarily intended for people to watch sitting accounts at the same time rather than switching)

by **Dako** on Tue Jul 06, 2010 3:18 am

Yeah, that should work as well.

If it will not be enough it will be hard to use - I will post here. Thanks for the add-on.

When im not in a speed game I use both of them....ready turns for me and this one of team mates,or another user...both together works

New version 1.5 available (Firefox will tell you about it automatically, you don't need to reinstall).

Changes

New Sitter View allows monitoring of multiple users at same time in one view (use for sitting accounts).
Can easily add and remove to sitter view using menu.
Change Usernames stores history so you can switch quickly from one user to another.
Assorted Bugs Fixed including game jump from statusbar.
New options (in Tools->Add-ons Options button on Conquer Club Speed Turns):
Force My Games To Show User Turns Only - check this to only see user turns in My Games Tab on CC.
Settings Apply To All Firefox Windows - any change to settings apply to all Firefox windows.
Help window modified to reflect changes

Note: If you have Force My Games To Show User Turns Only checked, you will need to add the
selected user to the sitter list for this turn indicator to show up in My Games tab in Sitter View.
