Bookmarklet Help Section
Need help with bookmarklets? This is the place to be.
General tips
- Firefox and Chrome work best with these bookmarklets. They are the officially supported browsers.
Try the bookmarklet in a different browser if one is not working. - If stable is not working, try the beta version if one is avalible.
- Local versions need to be reinstalled manually to update.
- Try different settings, something might have changed in the game.
- If you are using a live bookmarklet, the webserver must be alive.
- Unframing is needed for most bookmarklets.
Many have this built in but you can try unframing manually with Unframe-MW. - Accept the fact that some bookmarklets are harder to operate than others.
- Don't panic! Be patient.
Bug reporting
When reporting a problem or bug, it is importat you tell us what version of a bookmarklet you are using.
Look at the version number in the top right corner when the bookmarklet is running.
If the bookmarklet does not start, the name of your link can be a clue, e.g. "AttackX Beta"
Bookmarklets not tagged (local) are likely to be live bookmarklets, that means they auto update.
Remember you need to manually update local bookmarklets, delete and reinstall to update.
Be patient, we are doing this on our spare time and can't give step-by-step instructions to everyone.
When submitting a report/question try to include basic information like:
- Browser and version, Mac or PC?
- Bookmarklet version?
- Where you used the bookmarklet?
- What you expected to happen?
- What actually happened?
- If avalible, error message.
Missing to include information will only delay the help. Remember we are doing this on our spare time.
Saying bookmarklet x does not work!!!!11 requires a lot of follow-up questions and will be low priority.
If you find the solution yourself, please post in your thread what helped. It will help others.
Contact
There are a few ways you can get in contact with Spockholm and Pistol Pete.
Primary information channel is the Facebook fan page. Check the wall for recent updates.
Discussion board may contain an active topic on the bookmarklet.
Maybe someone else has the same problem, look at the first few pages before starting a new thread.
Reporting problems in comments to wall posts is not recommended, they tend to get lost in the noise.
Please please pease use descriptive topics, it helps everyone when looking for answers.
Third party Toolbars
The official recommendation is to NOT use any third party toolbar for getting bookmarklets.
Go to the source and install the ones you want instead. Take control of your own browser.

It would also be nice if you linked back to the original page and made us aware of your mod.
