The Propeller.com Sitemail Notifier is compatible with Firefox 1.5 through 2.0.0.* and the latest release of Flock.
Friends' Activity Sidebar
The Friends' Activity Sidebar (FAS) extension helps you keep tabs on what stories your Propeller friends are submitting and commenting on. A new toolbar button (shown below) features Chad, the older, more mature brother of AOL's little yellow chat mascot. When there is new activity by your friends (i.e., a new comment or a new story submission), the button will be activated and Chad will send a friendly wave your way. Clicking on the activated button will open a list of your friends' activity in the sidebar, allowing you to easily browse their stories and comments. Each time you view your friends' activity, you will only be shown activity that is new since the last time you opened the sidebar.

Note: The sidebar limits activity to five stories/comments for each friend. To view more of a friend's recent activity, click on their avatar or username to be sent to that friend's profile.

The Propeller.com Friends' Activity Sidebar Notifier is compatible with Firefox 1.5 through 2.0.0.* and the latest release of Flock.
