Utility Script: Add Links to Main Menu

This simple script just adds some more links in the new client for what I consider to be the most used external sites (planets mag, donovan's, vgapcalc, DIE HARD), plus the old forums. Maybe you find it convenient, or maybe you don't? May not work great on smaller displays (< ~1000 px width) Regardless, here it is: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/174140

Sweet. It looks pretty nice. Just the links we were missing. :)

Something isn't quite right yet though. The links are only added sometimes... Can't quite pinpoint it yet, but will let you know more later.

What would be neat is external links in some key places that open a new tab to the calculator and imports all values, planet growth, ground combat etc

Perfect Beefer! To all the players new to planets, get this script, and digest the information contained in the five links beefer added here!

Nitpicky comment, there's an extra space between Upgrade and Forums on Chrome, so it obvious what was the orignal stuff on the page, and what you added on.

Kedalion, if you find out why it fails sometimes, please let me know. I think it is likely the same reason the tenacity breakdown script sometimes doesn't work occasionally. Refreshing seems to fix things in both cases, but I'd like to know what's causing it.

Veldan, I did notice that little gap, due to some formatting on the original menu, but just left it because 1. I'm lazy. 2. I actually like a little separation between "official" and user-added content.

I'm not sure how much use this will get, since players that are into the game enough to be installing scripts they find in the forums are probably familiar with all those sites already. In some ways, it's just a little underhanded promotion for the planets mag and DIE HARD pages. And it seems to me they belong there.

I got to test more. Both in Firefox/Greasemonkey and Chrome/Tampermonkey the chances are pretty slim of the links showing up. Installed directly in Chrome without Tampermonkey gives me success in 9/10 trials. Which browser version are you using?
