Hey all. A few weeks ago I had to re-install windows and lost all my bookmarks inside the IGB. I had a bookmark that I set as my home-page but I cannot for the life of me remember what the site is.
It was a site that once trusted would update with my current location and all I had to do was either click on the Dotlan link or JoveLabs link (I think JoveLabs) to show the current system/region statistics on the Dotlan map.

I have Googled for 2 days now and not found anything. Its not even on the EvE-Online help page I found about 3rd party tools/sites. The site I am looking for is not WormNav. Its very similar but I didn't have to hit "Update with my current location". The site I am looking for did this automatically. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks in advance

No but have a friendly bump because I am interested in this too. Dotlans in game browser functionality is fantastic. Being able to automatically find my current system would be even better.

Are you sure you're not just thinking of the tracking funcitonality dotlan has built-in?

The built in "Radar" function Dotlan has doesn't work properly. When I exit the IGB, it remembers the trust but says its not trusted and I have to re-apply trust to get it working again.

The site I used to have automatically said the system you were in upon page load and all you had to do was hit "Dotlan" and it would show the system stats. I used it for deciding where to head in 0.0 for pew'in ratters. I am currently using the Radar feature but I'm getting sick of re-applying trust settings :(

Windows XP? Quit using that crap. Get on Windows 7 already and you won't lose your stuff.

Okay, if we want to find a site, we need any detail available.

Every bit of text you can remember correctly helps.
Every link helps, as long as it's text.
The title of the website or parts of it, help too.

Close your eyes and remember what you were doing,
when you opend the browser. You can't recall the link,
but you can recall what the site was looking like,
parts of the text, visuals, features, etc.

This will help. Just take your time, no need to be fast (won't work anyway) and then post everything you've got.

It's not Dotlan it's something else.

Still trying my google-fu....

All I remember is that the site has a black background and the links were to View in Dotlan or Jovelabs (I think). There was other stuff on this page but I never paid attention to it as I only used it for getting to the Dotlan page instead of typing it in the search box. Sorry I couldn't be more descriptive. I cant even remember who gave me the link or I would ask them again. I remember someone I gave the link TO, but he hasn't been on EvE in about 4 months :(

So you were a moron and did not install alongside the old Windows installation? *golfclap*. Good job at being a horrible failure. No wonder why you lost the information.

You seem to enjoy talking out of your ass. What if his hard drive failed or some other hardware issue? Are you just some tool who thinks he is smart?

3/10. Not bad, seemed somewhat real, but nerd type trolls lose a few points.

Meh - my Google-Fu broke off completely.

I don't suppose it was http://www.staticmapper.com/index.php?routefinder (it doesn't seem to link to dotlan or Jovelabs though, so it probably wasn't Sad)

Also found http://www.eve-buddy.com/, which seems quite interesting (but still in beta), but I haven't traveled with it yet.

For a minute there, I thought it was StaticMapper... It was one of the BM's I had but sadly not the one I am looking for :( Thamks anyway dude. I reckon someone should update that Third Party Tools section of EvE and put EVERYTHING on it. Then it wouldn't be so hard finding the site... :(
