Helpful Tools
Hi all! Just wanted to link to a post I have been working on, which lists a few helpful tools and tricks that people can use to make RPing easier. Things like LJ Login, Texter, Tab Renamizer, etc.

Both newbie and veteran players alike can take something away from this, I hope, so without further ado: enjoy!

( Helpful RP Tools, Tips, & Tricks )

(This fake LJ cut leads to the page on my Touma journal, so that I don't have to redo a dozen comments to repost it here. XD But feel free to comment on either post!)

ETA: Fixed the cut. Thanks, Haunt. I fail. OTL

	The tab re-namer was super useful! /renames everything, you don't know how much I hated the weird IJ tab titles... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I know, right? I think I heard about this from Parsnip, and I was like "TELL ME MORE". Glad to hear it helps. :3 (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I wish...I didn't hate IE and Firefox. ;; /goes to demand Chrome developers to make similar tools But this is super helpful! o/ (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Firefox is love, though. ; ; IE can DIAF, IMO. /acronyms (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Firefox crashes on me too often for my liking, which is why I no longer use it. =/ I might give it another try because of this.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's a shame to hear about. If you keep having trouble, let me know, and I'll be glad to try to help, because -- as you say -- Chrome developers aren't quite in with the RP crowd yet. ...or, at least, if they are, I haven't heard about it. If you find anything, please tell me! <3 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Will do! o/

I did a little bit of searching, and I think Chrome has something similar to the Tab Renamizer here. I'm still working on playing with it, but it seems pretty simplistic - click the icon and it lets you rename the tab. You have to do it manually for each tab, and each time you open a tab (if you had closed it before). It's really basic, and I'm not sure how the renamer for Firefox works so unfortunately I can't give any comparisons, but...it's functional?

	That's pretty much how it works in Firefox, except you can invoke it with F2 and you can automate it to an extent. But yay, functional! If you don't mind, can you make an info comment in that post, just as the others? ^^ if not, leave details here, and I'll look at it and cobble something together to add.

	This is AWESOME. Thank you for sharing all this stuff. I was wondering where to get some of it! Now it's all in a nifty list =D (Reply to this) (Thread)
