  It would be a big help if the friends list would move with you down the page, I've missed numerous invites because of this...not sure if there's a noise when you get an invite as I never have the sound on when playing...thanks

  Kind regards...Akatiger74

  Stylish is an extension available for several browsers, but unfortunately Internet Explorer isn't one of them.  : (
  
  Using Internet Explorer for all Internet stuff is like trying to lead a full and active life from inside a straitjacket. Just my humble opinion mind you. : )

  Sounds like I'm back in the stone age sir...which browser would you recommend also is it the stylish extension that makes it possible to put that background on your profile page...very cool indeed...many thanks.

  I'm sorry if I implied that you are back in the stone age because you use IE, you're not. If IE does everything you want it to, then that's fine. But there's no harm in removing the straitjacket to try on another type of jacket, you might find a better fit.  : )

  Personally, I like Chrome. Sometimes it's a pain in the ass, maybe all browsers are at times, but for what I do, especially messing about with HTML etc. the developer tools are great. (I think all browsers have developer tools).

  The Stylish extension is not responsible for my profile page background, anyone who has a little HMTL & CSS knowledge can do it without the need for any extension. Installing Stylish and using it to change how things look on a webpage only changes it for you, no one else sees what you see, unless they have the same extension and the same styles installed.

  Thank you.  : )

  If you want to temporarily experience the non-scrolling friends list for yourself, you can do so by injecting some Javascript into the webpage. But you'll have to use the developer tools to do it.

  Right click anywhere on the page, but not on the friends list ironically, and click on Inspect or Inspect Element from the menu. In the developer tools, click on the Console tab. In IE and FireFox, the text entry cursor for the Console is at the bottom of the Console window. Copy the following blue text and paste it into the Console then hit CTRL + the enter key. In browsers other than IE, just hit the enter key.

  $$("#widget")[0].style.position="fixed";$$("#widget")[0].style.zIndex="100";

  Now close the developer tools with the exit button [X]. If you now scroll the webpage your friends list should remain stationary. If you leave or refresh the webpage the Javascript will be removed and things will go back to normal. To make it permanent you need the Stylish (or similar) extension.

  Thank you so much for your time and effort in replying...I have tried Chrome before with WGT but found it to be very sketchy with my swing meter so I just reverted back to IE...as I said I'm useless with computers...heck I type with one finger lol...maybe this is just not for me...I just didn't like missing peoples invites because I was reading the forums...someone in my CC told me there is a noise when you get an invite so maybe the easiest thing for me to do is keep the sound on...but thanks again or your help...you seem to help a lot of people on here so tyvm for everything...

  Personally I can't stand I.E. I never use it. But if you like it use it to play and use Chrome for everything else.
