Indicator in address bar
Tue Dec 11 05:03:20 2007 – HardikI updated to the newer version today and the WOT indicator in the address bar is no longer there.
I cannot locate an option in the settings to enable this feature.
Has this feature been removed?

Tue Dec 11 09:04:07 2007 – SamiYes, the address bar indicator was removed from the new add-on, because feedback from our users suggested that very few people were using it.
But let's have a poll, how many of you would like to see the address bar indicator make a glorious comeback in the next version of the Firefox add-on?

Wed Dec 12 07:14:27 2007 – Hardikwell i kinda liked it
its unobtrusive and gives u quick assesment
can we have an option to keep it on or off?
I would like a comeback.
Wed Dec 19 08:03:09 2007 – r-winI would like a comeback. Specially because I'm partly colorblind. I cannot see the difference between the green and red icon of WoT, so I used the indicator in the address bar to see the rating of a site. Please return this grand feature (and change the colors of the icons) ;-)
I would say...

Indicator in address bar
Wed Dec 12 08:09:43 2007 – MT_POCKETSI updated also and my indicator symbol is still there. Does that mean I didn't get upgraded? I got a successful upgrade notice after completion of the upgrade
Re: Indicator in address bar
Wed Dec 12 08:25:14 2007 – SamiThe indicator symbol in the toolbar remains, of course. Only the optional indicator at the right end of the address bar isn't available anymore. It wasn't visible in the old add-on unless you enabled it in the settings.
Anyway, the easiest way to see if the upgrade was successful is to look at the rating window. If it looks like this, you have the new add-on:

Thu Dec 13 15:36:41 2007 – khmereverI also really like reading the indicator for each site I surf.
Without this indicator, I just feel I don't have my WOT installed.
address bar and block access
Fri Dec 14 20:57:37 2007 – seanieseanHey, what happened? WOT used to have a nice colourbar and blocked access to dodgy sites, and now it has a difficult to read icon thing and doesn't block access. I just got redirected to "megavideo" because WOT wasn't working as usual. What's going on?
Edit- i can block sites now, must have needed to warm up the old engine, eh.
Re: address bar and block access
Fri Dec 14 20:57:39 2007 – SamiYou can still enable blocking from WOT settings. The jury is still out on the address bar indicator...
Yeah, i found out how to
Fri Dec 14 21:13:56 2007 – seanieseanYeah, i found out how to block, it didn't work at first. I don't know about the jury being out, i've only seen negative comments so far. Though, just then, i was thinking that the different safety levels might be useful...
I definitely preferred it
Fri Dec 14 23:45:58 2007 – seanieseanI definitely preferred it the way it was. Also, why was there not a huge warning with neon signs and a loud bell saying that the new update will completely screw with the user preferences and allow scumsites to be freely visited? Sorry to be a pain, i thought wot was good before. If something isn't broken, don't fix it, as they say.
Re: I definitely preferred it
Sat Dec 15 09:34:31 2007 – SamiChanges in the new version were made based on feedback from our user survey, where hundreds of users told us there were plenty of things they'd like to see improved.
Address bar and accessibility
Thu Dec 20 08:24:09 2007 – anuHi all,
thank you for the feedback, it does help to see what you consider important in WOT.
It's an excellent point that the color-blind might have a bit of trouble detecting dangerous sites with the current coloring scheme - something we should have considered before removing the address bar. This clearly indicates the indicator did have a justification beyond nice-to-have-ness.
The WOT development team will re-assess the need for address bar indicator and depending on this, it might resurface in a future WOT version.
WOT development team thanks for the feedback, don't forget to stay tuned for more updates :)
Please!
