Ahhhhhh just think = the person who made the floaty bar had been thinking it was a complete flop. Dejectedly, they bid farewell to it, casting it into the 'pixels of failure' bin.

Then, out of nowhere, groupies appeared, chanting 'Viewport bar, viewport bar, bring it back, bring it back...'

Someone, somewhere, has a nice warm glow this evening Grin

I'd like it back too please.

Ponders · 05/12/2012 22:02

there should have been a VOTE!

(or was there, but it didn't say "floaty bar" so none of us knew what it was about?)

RandallPinkFloyd · 05/12/2012 22:03

I like that Lougle Xmas Grin

Whoever made the floaty bar thing Wine we liked it!

Well it has a much better ring to it than 'viewport bar' doesn't it!

Maybe that's where it all went wrong, you need to sell these new ideas. Viewport bar doesn't exactly roll off the toungue and leave you excited and expectant.

'Floaty bar' sounds all magical and woo Xmas Grin

Yes! Don't bring back the viewpoint bar, invent and launch a lovely spanking new magical floaty bar!

Can I add my name to the disgruntled floaty bar fans please - felling a bit lost without it Sad

Sirzy · 05/12/2012 22:14

Another floaty bar fan!

FloatyBeatie · 05/12/2012 22:45

I was overdue a namechange so I'm going out and proud with my bar love.

Kewcumber · 05/12/2012 22:50

I miss my floaty bar.

I have been tryong to find out what I'd done wrong with my compueter for about 20 mins - it hadn't occured to me that MN had STOLEN my floaty bar Xmas Sad

NagooHoHoHo · 06/12/2012 12:24

I'm now on the lap top and i really really miss the floaty bar.

I can't scroll fast on here, and I know I can press Home, but I need to use a function key for that and it's a PITA.

PLease please bring me back the floaty bar.

AnyaKnowIt · 06/12/2012 12:31

And I'm still missing my floaty bar Sad

Lougle · 06/12/2012 14:28

HelenMumsnet, can you reveal the creator of the 'floaty bar' so that we can build a modest shrine? Grin

CuttedUpPear · 06/12/2012 14:29

I want it back! Xmas Angry

ouryve · 06/12/2012 14:33

So it's not just me, then.

I thought my laptop was cross with me or something.

WheresMyJinglingCowBells · 06/12/2012 14:38

Joining in with the chants of "bring back the floaty bar". I didn't realise how much I used it until it wasn't there anymore.

Tis vair sad Xmas Sad

SolomanDaisy · 06/12/2012 14:45

I miss it too!

FloatyBeatie · 06/12/2012 14:47

I'm picturing hordes of dead-eyed Mumsnetters slowly crowding in on HQ like zombies, murmuring "Flow-tea-bar, flow-tea-bar, flow-tea-bar" in a menacing rhythmic chant.

LoopsInHoops · 06/12/2012 14:48

Oh my God. It's been taken down on purpose? Shock

Seriously, MNHQ, this renders the site practically unusable by me. I have slow internet connection and have to have whole page threads because I lose connection so quickly. Please reconsider or I will bombard you with daily emails

lubeybooby · 06/12/2012 16:17

Gahhh pleeease give it back, please please please

notMarlene · 06/12/2012 16:19

Yeah, we need it. I loathed it at first but it's great and I'm lost without it

MrsSantasCervix · 06/12/2012 16:29

It's still bloody bugging me with it not there. I'm completely lost without it. Please bring it back MNHQ!!

LittleTownofBethleHelenMumsnet · 06/12/2012 17:56

Hello. We are working on putting it back - as an opt-in, rather than an opt-out, feature.

Please bear with us while the Techs sort it.
