    So while trying to get the uberbar to work inside of external UI I've encountered an unexpected issue that seems to completely break the uberbar inside of my PA (and therefor make it very hard to understand how it is supposed to work :/).

    The issue is pretty simple: I use 2 accounts to quickly be able to test lots of things without having to ask others.
    However it seems the uberbar stores account specific information in the local storage, like i.e. the friendlist is cached there. I've just made a simple test:

    1.) Copy away my whole localstorage fiels, so the whole thing is empy
    2.) Start PA 2 times, Account A & B
    3.) Add A and B to each others friendlist. So far all works. Both show the other as online.
    4.) Restart both PA instances, login with A & B
    5.) Now suddenly both instances show only A in the friendlist as "offline". From this point onwards it's all broken basically.
    :(

    Could all account specific data please be stored ONLY in the session storage?

    Just noticed a command line option, though haven't tested it. --localstorageurl

    May be a work around, I'll try it out. However PA should be able to handle multiple accounts by itself imho.
