For the benefit of those who don't frequent SGS.

Here is a link to an add-in for Firefox/Chrome that improves the amount and quality of information that is displayed in Battlelog. I've installed it myself, and I must say, some of the changes are really good. You can get a lot of additional weapons stats in the weapon tab and weapon descriptions, your awards will show how far you are from achieving each medal, and it also has the ability to flag specific players and/or servers that you think as suspect. BL will then warn you if are about to join a server where the suspect players are currently playing.

All in all, it's a great little enhancement to BL.

Get it here: http://getbblog.com/en


High Detailed and "Secret" Weapon Information

In cooperation with a very good weapon database called symthic.com we are able to serve you stunning new information about every weapon. Now you really get all available details for every weapon. Accuracy plots and charts give this feature a amazing finish.
Inline Youtube Videos

Some users wanted a more "epic-looking" forum post, platoon or profile presentation. One thing we did for you was to replace all Youtube links with the embedded player. Now you can view the videos instantly.
User Radar

Everybody hates cheaters and hackers. From now on, you can avoid them on the battlefield. We are proud to present a feature that warns you before you join a server. Mark anybody via the new "radar" button and you will see a notification above the "joining server"-button if one of your marked users is currently playing on that server. Share your list with your friends or other users to increase your possibilities to play on clean servers.
NOTE: This is your own personal radar, you have to fill the list, because this is not a global option that communicates with other cheater or ban lists.
Server Radar

Use the radar feature not only for users, but as well for servers. As in the user radar, you will be warned if you try to join a marked server.
NOTE: This is your own personal radar, you have to fill the list, because this is not a global option that communicates with other cheater or ban lists.
Flame Radar

Use the radar feature not only for server/player, but as well for forum users. All posts of marked users will be hidden as the screenshot shows. From now you not need to read flame/whiner stuff again.
NOTE: This is your own personal radar, you have to fill the list, because this is not a global option that communicates with other addon users.
Known Bugs, minor Improvements

In Battlelog exist some bugs that are not fixed, though huge systems never are perfect. We fixed some minor and major bugs in Battlelog with our addon since they do get annoying sometimes. Still, it is not the focus of this addon to bug-fix Battlelog.
Contextmenu (Right-Click)

Well, every mouse should actually have a right button. Why shouldn´t we use it? In some parts of Battlelog, we added a contextmenu which improves your browsing experience especially for bblog´s own features. In the BBLog menu or by the shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + M you can highlight all areas which offer the right-click ability. More information here
BBCode Support

Most older boards and also some new ones have a BBCode support. This gives you the ability to easy format text in posts with predefined codes. Battlelog also support some bbcodes, but they give you nowhere the information how it works. We found the supported codes and integrate a easy to use interface to format your text.
Favorite Threads

This feature extends battlelog with a favorite thread list. Now you able to see on one place all you currently relevant board threads. It's very frustrating to search all the threads again and again, now you have time for more important things. Hope you enjoy it.
Platoon Images

The internal battlelog platoon emblem editor is - let us say, simple - Some clans and platoons have there own typical logos which requires a image upload. BBLog add it in the most simple way to the emblem editor. One button - Click and forget.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I pimped this little addon, and I wanted to say that if you don't have it yet, you really should download it. It takes about 30 seconds to install, and the extra info it provides in battlelog is awesome.

http://getbblog.com/en/download

The latest version is integrated with BF3Stats as well so every time you log in to battlelog it'll update your history in BF3Stats and chart your progress graph. There are a miriad of different little enhancements to BL in the addon, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Including little things like splitting your weapon categories up finer, so you can view shotguns, pdws etc. And showing the progress towards each of your medals (in terms of number of ribbons still required).

Follow the link, download the addon for your browser (firefox or chrome), and enjoy.

Seriously? Have you installed the new one? It integrates into BF3Stats, so you'd immediately see the timeline stuff on the bottom of your homepage. If you don't get that, then you've probably not installed it properly.

It awesome, seriously. If you are a stats wh0re you need this! As J said it links into bf3 stats to give your more detailed info on your stats, weapons and awards. They even have spread charts and all the rest of the secondary information you need to see how a gun will behave with foregrip etc.

Will give this a whirl tonight. Battlelog's navigation is my biggest gripe with it.
