Feature Request - Bring back the show progress bar

Just in case Verizon is looking for suggestions here, can you please bring back the progress bar that was behind the start/end times in the guide? In the current guide, there is no quick graphical cue to represent how much time has progressed in the selected show. Yes, you can look at the start, end, and current times, but when browsing through shows that start/end at different times, it really slows browsing down.
I've uploaded two images to illustrate the issue.
The first image below is a screenshot of the v1.9 guide. The second image is a mock-up that shows the feature that I am talking about. Note the progress bar for the currently selected show in the guide that appears behind the start and end times ("7:35 AM - 9:30 AM" on the right side of the screen, in the middle).
This was available in the previous guide, but was omitted in 1.9. It is a very useful feature. Please bring it back.
(NOTE: The white progress bar at the top of the screen does NOT represent the progress through the show selected in the guide. It just shows the current time.)

I'm sorry, but I just do not see the benefit of the elapsed time thing you propose. What difference does it make to see some kind of indicator how far into the program you are? You can't change where you are, you are there, period.
But if you really, really want to know:
1) Just look at the start time and end time shown in the current program in the middle, and look at the TOD shown at the top, and estimate where you are.
- or -
2) Hit the Info button once and see a bar that definitively shows how far in you are.
Could you please explain why you think having that feature is so useful? I just don't see it.
Thanks.

Is there a way to bring back the actual tab "bar"?

So in switching from FF3.6 to 5.0 I have noticed that the actual "bar" that holds the tabs is gone.
Observe:
[http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg http://i.imgur.com/eU7lo.jpg]
It's visually slightly annoying to not have a distinct separator between the tab area and the button toolbar, but that is something I can live with.
However I can NOT live with the extremely annoying functionality drawback that comes as a result of this. In 3.X and before you could right click anywhere in the tab bar and it would bring up the tab management menu. Now you can't bring up the menu from empty space because it treats that space as part of the rest of the UI and gives you a different menu, forcing you to mouse all the way over to a tab to accomplish the same end.
So my question is, does anyone know of a way, or an addon, that can bring back the actual tab bar? I find all of these UI changes to be nothing short of infuriating. I swear, Mozilla, Facebook, Pandora, Google, and Microsoft must all be in cahoots with each other because they're all introducing horrible UI designs at the same time.

Well I guess that's kind of cool that you can add buttons in the bar as well, but I honestly don't have a use for that and I think it would get in the way more often than not in most scenarios I can think of (there's a reason buttons were segregated from the tab bar and it wasn't tech limitations). The previous functionality is much more convienent and useful and, well, functional.
As for why FF5, well I've had the FF5 installation since before 6.0 was out, but the UI changes angered me so much that I abandoned it after about 20 minutes and went back to using my 3.6 installation; I've been letting the community stew and cook up solutions to the UI problems (status4evar for example) and like any good stew, giving it more time is better. Also a whole bunch of my addons (some of which are mission-critical to my browsing needs) were not [and a small few are still not] compatible with anything above 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x so I had to wait for those (mmm, stew). And then to top it off I figure the possibility that I'll run into upgrade problems is smaller if I go through the chain of updates rather than jumping from 3.6 straight to 7. And don't get me started on the whole rapid release schedule. :P

Feature request: Bring back Idea's undo/redo buttons

I get the convenience of swipe to undo/redo and I've been using it very successfully, but for me the big advantage of drawing on the iPad is the ability to zoom quickly. I'm finding that the undo/redo swipe is getting in the way of pinch/zoom working smoothly. Could we have the option to have a undo/redo button and turn the swipe gesture off? Thanks

I'd like for the undo and redo buttons to be added back to the tool bar as well. I think the gestures for undo/redo and pan are conflicting (both two fingers and swipe) and it takes a moment for the app to register what gesture you are trying to make. A lot of the time it's delayed or doesn't respond at all. It's just so much easier to tap on the undo/redo buttons than to hold two fingers to the screen and wait for a gesture to register.
For what it's worth to other users, the gestures seem to respond better when using a pressure sensitive stylus. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the way the app is designed or if it's because using a pressure sensitive stylus slows down the process enough where you don't notice it as much.

Show progress bar before loading the applet or application

hi ,
My application size is large and take some time to load . Now i want that to show progress bar . how can i do this .Please Help me
sorry for my english.

Do everything in a seperate thread. Create a progress bar in the main thread, then create a new thread for initializing your app. Once the init is done, hide the progress bar and make your app visible.

The bookmarks disappeared in safari on iPad and I am unable to create new ones or bring back the bookmark bar

During the day yesterday, the bookmarks I had in Safari disappeared, as well as the bookmark bar. In preferences I still have the "show bookmark bar always" option marked. When I hit the bookmark symbol, to create the bookmarks the display has changed and it looks like it is creating a new bookmark, but when I go into bookmarks it is no longer there.

Tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Safari off then back on.
Give iCloud a minute or two to sync your bookmarks.

I would like to know if it's possible to bring back the status bar in Firefox 4 without having to install any addons.

Does anybody know how to bring back the status bar in Firefox 4 without having to install any addons? The reason why I ask is that for some reason, when Firefox 4 was made available to the general public to download, Firefox 4 was missing the status bar and also the save and quit message was turned off by default. I got the save and quit message turned back on but I just don't know if it's possible to bring back the status bar without any addons.

Please read this article:

Any chance you are bringing back the Status Bar?

Any chance you are bringing back the Status Bar, because all updates past FF28 don't have the Status Bar which is where most of my favorite Addons are located (such as eQuake Alert and ForecastFox. This is really annoying. I've had to turn off auto update because of this and stay with FF28. I'm sure one day FF28 will become obsolete and then I won't be able to use my Addons.

'''''"Any chance you are bringing back the Status Bar?"'''''
Little to no chance of that happening. As you are well aware, there is one or more extensions that restore the Add-on Bar to Firefox 29 + versions.

Bring back the little red X please?

With Adobe's continued regression into silent-movie-era palettes I'm having a harder and harder time distinguishing which one out of multiple open documents is the 'hot' one (the one I'm working on at the moment). Could you please bring back the red X box in the image window? It's not like I'm demanding that horrible blue bar from CS3 or anything. I mean. a little color to tip us off to what we're working on can't make all the monochrome purists run in terror can it?

Bump
Working on a crapload of images in multiple open windows today and this "feature" continues to make my work more difficult than it needs to be. And no, I don't do tabs.
If you're going to suck all the color hints out of the UI maybe you should get rid of that blue box in the upper left corner of every image window - it's just sooo annoying...

Bring back the community feel to 'Skype Community'...

My suggestion for this 'community' - bring back the community feel.
I've not been on the forums for some years now, so I'm probably just out of touch with what the skype forums are about these days. Anyway, I get the impression that although the forums were renamed to be 'community', the content seems to discourage a community feel.
consider http://community.skype.com/t5/Translations/From-India/m-p/2638631/highlight/true#M719
"The Skype Community does not support friendship requests."
under the old skype forums, I remember many people used to post introductions to themselves and some such users included people who later went on to become skype moderators \ influential members of the skype community.
it's possible that the OP should have been advised to post more content \ a little more about themself, but to say that the community does not support friendship requests seems a bit of a contradiction.
I personally don't post 'friend requests' here or on any other forums, but when socialising it's natural to see people introducing themselves especially when they are integrating into a new community....
The old skype versions had a 'meet me' feature. this was suspended as it created more problems than anyone expected... too many idiots being idiots because it was a one-to-one exchange. however I believe that the old forums had a 'coffee corner' where people did introduce themselves and it was encouraged. perhaps this 'community' needs such a section to truly be a community. it doesn't seem sensible to be stating that skype does not support friendship requests....

ITunes Store - Will not go beyond the dashed progress bar, will also freeze any outside Internet activity

Alright, I've read numerous discussions and have tried to find an answer and have come up with zilch. Here's what's happening:
I open iTunes, and it attempts to connect to the iTunes store (presumably to update the Cloud). When it does this, it remains on the dashed progress bar. While attempting to connect, it will also freeze any other Internet applications, specifically any pages open in my browser (Chrome). I'm not sure why this is, I haven't seen anything on that subject. However, if I click the (x) next to the progress bar to tell it to stop, it will do so and I can listen with ease. Now, I'd actually like to use the iTunes Store, but whenever I do, it never gets anywhere. I get the dashed progress bar, which on occassion will move on to the solid progress bar, but it will completely freeze from there. I have tried doing the winsock reset, looking for conflicting programs with LSP, reinstalling, updating, none work. After running the network connectivity diagnostics, iTunes determines that everything is good except that a secure link to the iTues store failed. This led me to believe that there was a firewall of sorts that was blocking it. After adding iTunes to the list of exceptions to Windows Firewall, the same results were thrown back at me. I do not have any other programs that would block it (that I know of).
Please help? I just want to buy an album all legal-like.

Hi there,
So it's sounds like you've already tried a majority of the main troubleshooting steps, but I would still recommend taking a look at some of the published troubleshooting found in the articles below.

Please bring back the Modern Skype App for x86 devices

The desktop Application is unusable on small tablets, due to its fiddly controls, missing features and extremely high demand of system resources (RAM, CPU, etc.). It's sad to see Microsoft once again neglecting its creations (like you did with Zune). Especially, when theres no logical reason for it (RT users can still use the app, you're just blocking us out - it's the same codebase!). People, let them hear your voice. I know, many others share my point of view, but they won't change anything if they don't see any complaints!
