Re: BOB 5.1.3
If I am using any version after the "Dec 7, 2010 22:03" version, the left menu appear and than disappear before I can move back the mouse to select something when the "Hide Menu" option is "On".

I'm getting the same problem.Silver- wrote:If I am using any version after the "Dec 7, 2010 22:03" version, the left menu appear and than disappear before I can move back the mouse to select something when the "Hide Menu" option is "On".
BOB 5.1.4

Vista
Re: BOB 5.1.3
Same problem for me
Re: BOB 5.1.3
Ah, I think the size of something on the left was adjusted by lack's changes, which caused this to occur. Thanks for noticing, I'll make it a bit more flexible.
Re: BOB 5.1.3
BOB doesn't auto-refresh under Firefox 4. I've got the latest version and it works on initial map load, but it doesn't update as I take my turn short of a full F5 refresh.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
I just ran into the Hide Menu problem today, and, unless it is my imagination, I found that I have better luck if I try to access the left menu lower down the page, such as over the BOB Menu, rather than over the Game Menu.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
Yes, it is a bit flaky. It may have more to do with the differing speeds of the machines I use at work and home.Namor wrote:ender516 wrote:I just ran into the Hide Menu problem today, and, unless it is my imagination, I found that I have better luck if I try to access the left menu lower down the page, such as over the BOB Menu, rather than over the Game Menu.I think it's your imagination. It works occasionally (about 1 in 30-40) anywhere, then not again, even if you use exactly the same spot.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
The trick is finding a way to turn it off from a menu that does too good a job of hiding.Calidrmr wrote:ender516 wrote:Yes, it is a bit flaky.

I keep a second window open, that isn't in a game.ender516 wrote:The trick is finding a way to turn it off from a menu that does too good a job of hiding.Calidrmr wrote:ender516 wrote:Yes, it is a bit flaky.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
That works if you have Hide Menu set to Game, so the menu isn't hidden on other pages. I happened to have a window open like that, which helped me when I was testing the reported problem, but once you set it to Hide Menu: On and all your pages are reloaded, you are stuck.Namor wrote:I keep a second window open, that isn't in a game.ender516 wrote: The trick is finding a way to turn it off from a menu that does too good a job of hiding.
Re: BOB 5.1.3
yeah yeah, I need to fix it soon. But the problem is that there is an area between what BOB sees as the white and green part, and if your mouse is detected there, it will hide the green part. So moving quite fast with your mouse could do the trick too.
Btw, that seems to be almost impossible when there is no content in the green part, I guess there could be some truth in what ender said.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
i managed it directly after a log-in, it seems to take a few minutes to re-hide then for me...lol...especially when i have new chat because for some reason "game chat" affects the hide menu sometimes. or have somebody hit your wall or send you a PM, then menu won't hide...

Re: BOB 5.1.3
Has anyone else have BOB stop working since BORK BORK BORK showed up? Or was timing just a coincidence?

Yeah, I lost because my strategy sucked...

Re: BOB 5.1.3
My isn't working either.
So the idiot that thought his April Fools trick was funny, has caused mayhem. You can imagine the screaming that will be going on in the clan challenges (if last weeks hitch is anything to go by).

Re: BOB 5.1.3
I'm using version 5.1.0 and it works just fine. Very strange.
Highest rank: 48th. Highest score: 3,384. Feb. 9, 2014.
Re: BOB 5.1.5
just upgraded the version, it doesn't detect the settings correctly so it's not perfect today. But most things should work.
And I tried to do something about the hide menu too, but haven't tested it properly yet.

Re: BOB 5.1.5
Thanks Sherk... you're a hero
BTW, hide menu still isn't quite there. With the cursor left most, then moving back to the right, it fails just at the point it reaches the menu boxes. If you're lucky enough to catch it, then it fails, once you move up, within the menu.

Re: BOB 5.1.5
By the way, every game looks like standard with no team as the naming has changed. Guess we can bear with it.
