Here's my stylish script for a floating left navigation bar, as requested. It's not perfect, though.

Edit: I've put the script on userstyle here:

Hey! It worked like a charm! Thanks!

Do you have a similar one for the Groups menu?

2> Here you go, but this ones a greasemonkey script:

It's quite unpolished, with no user-interface for changing the list of groups. You'll need to edit the script yourself to change them. It should be pretty straightforward. Note that if you use this in combination with the stylish script above, it will increase the height needed for your browser to keep it all on screen.

Seconded!

Brightcopy -- could you modify the search box in the sidebar to do a Google search of the current group, or all groups? (If you don't, I'll give it a try. JavaScript will be a new experience, but I'm pretty handy with the old cut-and-paste.)

Thanks everyone for the kind words. If only the same were true of the products I actually get paid for!

5> That'd be nifty. I'll look into it. And since it seems there is so much interest in this, I might try to see what I can do to improve the floating nav bar and fix some of those bugs. May require a greasemonkey script in addition to the stylish one.

Brightcopy,

In my "A simple(?) change to the navigation bars in Groups/Talk?" thread in Recommend Site Improvements, user legallypuzzled mentioned that he has developed a Greasemonkey version of the floating navigation bar. Maybe you could contact him and collaborate?

Another suggestion: float the bug status box too -- the green sidebar on the right of Bug Collectors posts with status and other information. It would be nice while reading the 75th message to see if the bug is currently open or closed...

The combo of the two scripts is wonderful! Now I have a list of all the groups I actually check, right next to where I am in any topic. Hmmm...now I need to figure out how to apply both of them to the individual group pages (the other place I frequent in Talk).

But I see what you mean about height of the browser. My list of 12 groups just barely fits on the page in my desktop screen - have to check if it will work on my laptop.

Updated this to work with the new talk.

Regarding the overlap when posting, I'm afraid there's not much I can really do. From what I've found, this only happens when you have your window size set fairly narrowly. And what happens is LT scrolls to the right. You probably don't even have to resize your window but just scroll back to the left again.

Every solution I could think of just had annoyances in other ways.

I did make one slight tweak, though. It makes it so you don't get an "interweaving" effect when this happens where the message headers will appear on top of the floating bar but the message text goes under it.

My screen size is 1280 x 800 and the browser is the full screen size. This is not exactly small.

As I said, it's magic when these things work so it's not a big problem that it has a quirk.
