Re: BOB 5.1.3
Here we go.Sherk I sent u 2 pm's about this.Spoke to K.A for 3 days and also spoke with Dako.I have been having serious issues with BOB ever since the new clicky map feature came out on Monday(Reason why I say BOB is because K.A said that is what it has to be).There are no # of troops in the attack boxes for some terr.Same goes with forts.I am running Fire Fox 3.6-BOB 5.1.4 and Grease Monkey 0.9.1.I have been trying to get help with this for 5 days now and have come up empty handed.Please help me out.I sent u 4-5 pics of this.If u need them again please say so.OH,I do not use any clickable maps at all.I use BOB+Map Rank.I have uninstalled everything and reinstalled.Deleted and downloaded over and over.Plus,the colors are also gone in the assault/fort boxes.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
No offense, I guess it's understandable that this isn't functioning as it used to because of the change, but is it really such a huge loss to not have colour codes or troop numbers in the drop down box?

Sure it is Leehar.I don't have to keep scrolling up to look at how many troops I am attacking or who I am attacking or forting.What do u mean,drop down box?I am talking about the attack boxes shown here:

I know many enjoy the new feature but I was fine with what I had.I never used clicky maps at all and just want what I was using to go back to normal.Is that asking much?

It is annoying when you lose a feature that you have grown accustomed to having. I would hope that this won't be too difficult to fix, as the colours and numbers show up occasionally (perhaps when the attack phase first begins, or when the system is forced to pick a new territory to attack from, because of lack of troops or targets), but they definitely disappear as soon as you choose a different territory to attack from. I suspect this is causing the system to change the drop-down list of targets without letting BOB know.
Re: BOB 5.1.3
Yeah, ender is right. I should test it a bit, but that's essentially what happens, and I'm not sure I can do something about it.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
I tried to update BOB, but when I uninstalled it to have a fresh install of BOB (which I always do) and went to install BOB again, it doesn't do anything after I press 'Install'. I remember somebody else having this problem before and I wasn't sure if they just weren't waiting for the countdown to finish to be able to install.
I click the 'GET BOB' in the first post, go to the userscript site, click 'install' and the usual script install box comes up. When I try to hit the 'Install' button after the countdown is done, the button gets pushed in as if I'm clicking it, but then it doesn't do anything. I have tried rebooting my system with a fresh instance of Firefox running, but still the same problem. Any idea how to fix this?

That kind of problem usually means that you have got your hands on the wrong version of BOB.
Check out the Conquer Club User Guides topic: viewtopic.php?f=526&t=139337&start=0
It contains step-by-step illustrated instructions for installing everything you want for the ultimate CC experience.

Does this happen for all scripts? I know there is a problem with some macs running FF3.6 and greasemonkey 0.9.1, where greasemonkey is the problem.

No, that problem is for installing scripts, and yours seems to be working afaik.
Re: BOB 5.1.3
I can't wait for this script to become compatible with the new server changes. I really, really like this script, but I like the new clickable maps (I never used it before, until the changes.).

It's a Windows XP box that I'm having the problem on. I'll try to install another script on that computer later when I'm near it next and will let you know the result. If it fails, I'll also try to install a script on my Win7 laptop and see how that goes.
Thanks for the feedback!

I'm having the same issues as Big Whiskey. Haven't posted yet as I'm sure Sherk is swamped with requests all the time. It's amazing how much you miss a feature when it's gone.
Thanks for all the work you do Sherk.

Right, if you reinstall it should be solved. But I'm going to rewrite the map inspect thingy before I upgrade the version.

Re: BOB 5.1.3
I'm still finding that if I change the selection in the first drop-down menu, the second drop-down menu loses its colours and troop counts in parentheses.
