For over 5 years, everytime my party's bars got all screwed up because I'd accidentally dragged them, the only way I knew to fix it was to close the lot and drag them all off again. Not easy when everyone's running every which-way in a battle.

Today I learned there is a way to 'unlock' one bar from the others and move it.
Doh!
For the benefit of anyone else who's a 5+ year noob, here's how:

Hold down the alt key and single click the bar you want to move, then release the alt key. This unlocks the bar, you can then simply drag it to wherever you want it.

:embarasse Kinda sad it takes us so long to find out things isn't it? Thanks for the info! I didn't know either....

You can add me to the list of those that should have known that but didn't. Thank you for the info too

I didn't know either. How come the simpliest little tricks are so hard to find out about?

I think we need a place to add our little 'tips' for everyone to read. I mean 'little' not page long or complicated things.. just nice little tricks that make UO life more fun and easier. Anyone have thoughts on it? Hmmm what am I saying... I could do that in LS, but we want it for everyone to see. Ideas on location?

Well that's kinda hard Snowy... I knew the party bar thing... and I thought everyone did.

I don't mind a "did you know" thread as long as people aren't rude in it. It's a very difficult thing to start though because right now I can't think of anything to post....
*ponders*
Did you know that blaze is a "neon" hair color from the NPC stylist for elves and doesn't require the lady Melisande hair dye?
Stuff like that?
Did you know there is an option for "toggle honor virtue" on the UO macro page?
Did you know if you have high taming and lore if your pet is only "very happy" or above you can command it to "Wonderfully happy" simply with sucessful commands and feeding is not necessary?

How am I doin?
Let's hear the rest of everyone elses "did you knows"

Never knew that myself, nor the ones mentioned by flutter. I would like to see more "did ya know"

I need more of these helpful tips (looks like I have been playing in the dark for a long time)

LOL I didnt know about the party bar thing or any of the things flutter said so I guess that makes me a 6 year noobie:shocked:

6 year newb here. Only one I knew about was the toggle honor thing because I was setting a macro and stumbled onto it.
