I am nearing completion of the search bar aspect of the MoDB-Bar (toolbar) for firefox ..

User Posted Image

The toolbar so far has facilities to search the mod databases news ,members,games and of course mods.
It is also a switchable toolbar and this is where i need suggestions.

So far i have plans for another 2 bars the Nav-Bar which may have things like modwatch jumpbox on it, quick links and im hoping to put alerts on it ie TW etc etc.

Also i have plans to create another side to the bar the Forum-bar to ease navigation etc of the forums..

Therefore i need suggestions on things to add to the forumbar and nav bar which you'd like to see or even maybe a (serious) idea for another side of the toolbar (its switchable so it only takes up one slot and switches using a context menu on right click)

So please go forth and suggest .. the more u suggest the better this Extension will be.. :)
