In version 1.1 of the re-designed OGame the "Network" button was replaced with an "Alliance" button. However, the original "Network" button was leading to the mailbox, while the new one leads to the alliance management page. Most of the time this isn't a problem, since there is an envelope-like button in the event list that leads to the message box. However, in Galaxy viewing mode the event list is not visible. This means that there is no longer a direct way to move to the mailbox from Galaxy view - one has to switch to Overview (or any other view) first, which is annoying.

This script makes the icon to the right of the "Alliance" button lead to the mailbox, too. Since the menu with this button is visible even in Galaxy viewing mode, this solves the above problem.

2009-09-25: Version 1.01. Ooops. Completely forgot that if the user has purchased Commander, there is one additional button ("Empire") on the menu - so, it is not reliable to access the buttons by number. OK, fixed the script to look for the button that leads to the "Network" page. Thanks to Andorianin for the tip.

2009-09-27: Version 1.02. Now the icon "lights up" when the mouse is over it. Thanks, jeanc.

2009-09-29: Version 1.03. Rewrote the script so that it no longer uses XPath. Now the script should work not only for Firefox (2.x and 3.x)+GreaseMonkey and Opera but also for IE+IE7Pro.
