    Improved Loading Bar Suggestion

    "Loading User Data" tends to take 5-10 times longer for me than before on the R3 Air client, usually on the order of 10-20 seconds.
    It's not a terrible problem, but sometimes the fact the other 4 factors have loaded instantly but User Data is still waiting makes the loading screen look like it's frozen.

    One of the cardinal user experience rules of designing a loading screen is to include something animated to indicate to the user that the program has not frozen and is still "doing something."
    Even something a simple as making the loading bar have an animation on its texture, or have the ellipsis at the end of "Loading..." cycle from . to .. to ... as many programs do will help.
    I strongly suggest adding this.

    k, next update. We already do this for the leaderboards in the sidebar, so this is easy to add elsewhere.

    Edit: Prawnskunk did something, it looks good. Will be in next update.
