Click the little half white/half orange circle on the right hand side of it.


Which minimizes it, but it's still there kinda uselessly. I never use it myself, which just inspired me to find that if you know how to apply some user style rules (Adblock or Stylish extensions for FF would be a couple of ways) to BB pages, doing:

div#toolkit {display: none;}

... will make the toolbar disappear. (I won't help anybody who doesn't know how to do this themselves, sorry.)

The 5 icons are active, but the orange circle isn't.

Not only does it merely minimize it, but as I said in my initial post, it opens again on EVERY PAGE.

Unfortunately, I'm using Safari, which makes it nigh impossible to add such a rule. The Develop page doesn't allow for style edits AFAICT...

That's weird, I think it may be a Safari thing.

I use Firefox and it has stayed closed for months.

It's usually out of the way because it extends out into the margin, especially if I go full screen, but I could see that on a lower resolution monitor, it would really be annoying.

Also when you print, it shows up at the top of the page. If you are printing your roster, it covers up the first player's name.

Could it go up on the banner to the left of the ads, or on the banner with the clock?

If it's not staying closed, it sounds like you're having a cookie issue. When you minimize the toolbar, do you have a cookie that looks like this?

No idea where to find that info in Safari.

BTW, see (EDIT: link removed by Marin) for user style editing info:


Safari for Mac

1. From the Safari menu, select Preferences
2. Click on the Advanced tab
3. From the Style Sheet dropdown, select Other..., where you can browse to your own .css file.


The CSS I gave above might hit some div#toolkit divs on other sites, BTW.

it's definitely a safari issue. try using firefox and you shouldn't have any problems minimizing the tool bar and having it stay that way.

Yes, it does work in Firefox. Telling someone to change their browser isn't a real solution, though.

If a site component isn't working in Safari, I'd be more apt to blame the site, and not Safari at this point. When someone tells me to use IE for something because it doesn't look right in Firefox, I resist... using a broken tool to use a broken page might do the trick, but it's not the right thing to do. I think some Safari users feel the same way about Firefox, and maybe rightfully so:

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3#Layout_engines)

Anyway, I don't know the answer here... maybe it really is a Safari problem, who knows.

It's a BB bug, I'd bet.

(/BBWeb/javascript/toolkit.js)


var toolCookie


var screenWidth = 0, screenHeight = 0;

[...]
var toolCookie = readCookie('toolbar');


I think the no-semicolon line is ok (brushing up on my JS), but redeclaring a variable probably shouldn't work (although it likely does in some browsers). Here's what JSLint (http://www.jslint.com/) has to say about that page:


Error:

Implied global: document 2 39, myLeft 12, myTop 13, navigator 3, readCookie 23

Problem at line 3 character 54: Line breaking error ')'.

var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")

Problem at line 3 character 55: Missing semicolon.

var arVersion = navigator.appVersion.split("MSIE")

It doesn't minimise in IE either.

No dice. Browsed my cookies and there is no toolbar cookie on the list among the buzzerbeater-related cookies. In fact, none named Toolbar at all...

I think I'll refrain from messing around then. I'm not familiar enough with style editing to try it.
