    The forum jump feature at the forum is excellent... this is really another way of doing that isn't it?

    I took a look at your code. You seem to be taking the opportunity to throw some of your ads in there. Fair enough I guess, you've taken the time to offer something free.

    I wasn't sure, though, what was going on with the microsoft links
    <menu class="menu-iconic navbits" label="Microsoft">
    	<menupopup class="digitalpoint-main">
    		<menuitem class="menuitem-iconic dp" label="Microsoft Forum" onclick="digitalpoint_open(event, 'http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=43');" oncommand="digitalpoint_open(null, 'http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=43');" />
    		<menuseparator/>
                   <menuitem class="menuitem-iconic subforum_new" label="AdCenter" onclick="digitalpoint_open(event, 'http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=82');" oncommand="digitalpoint_open(null, 'http://forums.digitalpoint.com/profile.php?do=editpassword');" />
    	</menupopup>
    </menu>
    
    Code (markup):
    Why does clicking on adcenter take you to your edit password screen?

    And why the need for a separate login screen at all? Given that plugins self update doesn't this lead you open to allegations of phishing as in the future you could switch that login screen to one which goes through a 3rd party site and stores the username & password before logging the user in. I'm not saying you'd do that... but you are leaving yourself open...

    When I try and use your link for the .rar file, then change the extension to a .xpi, it says Page not found.

    I'll fix that now, however even though the oncommand link was to the editpassword section here on dp it didn't actually go there when pressed, not for me anyway ? but thats correct now, expect to see Version 1.0.4 shortly on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9781

    Plug-ins only update if a plug-in has an updateURL, even then its down to user, as when they open the add-ons tab they see a (usually) green icon representing an update is available.

    Some concerns drew my attention to the fact that I could manipulate the login page, and possible gather DP members usernames and passwords etc... so with that in mind, I have an updated Version 1.0.5 available, I dropping the login page completely. Download it Here. Please be assured that no malice was intended what-so-ever. I hope DP members feel more comfortable using this new version, and find it useful. Its basically just one big BookMark.

    For me personally, I had originally BookMarked the 'Solicitations & Announcements' section, but as time goes by, I found myself using different sections of DP more and more, so I was logging into one section and then browsing to another, with this add-on, I can go directly to the section I want, much faster.

    Alternative install and instructions:

    1, Download Attached Version : digitalpoint_forum_navigator-1.0.5-fx.zip
    1.2 Rename the file extension from .zip to .xpi

    2, Open Mozilla
    3, Click File at the top and select Open File,
    4, Browse to the downloaded (renamed) file and click Open

    Mozilla will do the rest and suggest you restart your browser...

    Its not a competition mate, use whichever addon you want.

    Yes I saw that already, just thought I would come up with something that doesn't take up space.
