Consolidate map list [Done]

[e_i_pi]

Perhaps we add a browse link that opens up a popup window with all map thumbnails?

I think that would be a good idea. The wow factor (to quote gimil - hehe wow factor) of seeing ALL the maps at once is great. It shows clearly how much community involvement there is in the site, and it as good an advertisement as you could possibly get for the site.

[Natewolfman]

neat advancment, I think i personally would still have liked to see them separated into the 3 groups (easy, intermediate, difficult) as was dicussed at some point in the past, but that may be more difficult then it sounds lol just my thought

[Boss_oss_ss]

Why select all maps, when you can select none? Are the instructions not clear?

if you have no preference for a particular criterion, just leave those boxes unchecked

Lol where does it say that :S

"Search for games matching the following criteria (if you have no preference for a particular criterion, just leave those boxes unchecked)."

its above the grey search box

A browse all button is all you are missing I think, Lack. Otherwise, excellent improvement.

[tlane]

Ungh, why ?

Could there please come an option in your profile to set this back to original ?
I really don't like this.

Scroling ftw !

yeah i like the old game finder much better

[jako]

I like the old way better. I much prefer scrolling the page with all the maps laid out. I hope we are given an option in control panel to either use this new way or use the original way.

[Natewolfman]

I must say i like this ALOT more it makes tournament organizing a ton easier

Before - I would have to make a round with say 10 different maps id have to scroll up and down the list trying to find the correct map, sometimes glossing over it
Now - I simply go to the list and find the correct name, a ton easier on me

I'm not sure that Lack is all that keen on allowing people to switch back and forth. He hasn't ever given that option before except for a brief transition period with the site moving to AJAX.

I am usually a bitcher about some of the upgrades......but this one......this one is good. Thank you!

[Stephan Wayne]

dude this totally sucks i loved the pictures some times i pick a map because of the look

[LB Ninja]

ok yes this is a lot more organized but the old way was a lot better to me... i liked to beable to just go down and look at the maps.. plus when i first joined the site thats what really got me was seeing all the variety of maps the site had to offer.. i really hope this gets discussed some more and maybe have a poll to see what the majority of the people on the site want

[cvlngnir]

This is a horrible change. I like to be able to look for an interesting map, click on it for full size image and decide if i want to play it. This will most likely stop people from trying new maps. They will stick to the ones they know the name of. Also new visitors have no (easy) way of knowing what the maps look like. Bad decision, imho.

[wcaclimbing]

you might want to add a small thing that says "hold [ctrl] to select multiple maps".
That just make it easier for people that don't know.

[codytmeg123]

I don't like this new scroll screen......
what happens when you are a visual person and remember things by how they look then you have to scroll through all of them to find the one you want.

it was a good idea but it was not necessary to put it in because it hinders as much as it helps

[PLAYER57832]

I liked simply putting the games at the top and the other stuff at the bottom.

[Pedronicus]

what i like is the breakneck speed of the updates on this site.

work finished December 23rd 2008!

[demonfork]

so much better! great suggestion!

One thing, Is there a central location that one can go to look at the maps?

This update works great for me because I am already very familiar with the maps, I know already know what I am getting into before I set-up a game.

To someone that is not familiar with the maps, it would be nice to have a place for them where they can still preview the maps (apologies if there is already a central place to do this)

never mind, I see that a preview is now there next to the drop down menu, if i am not mistaken it was not there earlier

Ummm... you know you can still use the browse arrow buttons and click the thumbnail to preview?

[Gilligan]

I think a choice would work well for us tournament guys. I can't speak others, but when I create my tons of games, I look at the map to select to see which one I want, not the title itself.

[jobatrout]

If it isn't broke don't fix it........what was wrong with the old format?...personally I thought the original format was much more user friendly. I get the idea about changes needed per page space considerations, however, I wonder if the modified format could have been better thought out. Perhaps ideas from members could be solicited and then a concensus choice could be arrived at........Just a thought...if I'm all wet feel free to comment...thank you for your time......Jobatrout

[TheTeacher]

I think it would be a good idea to have some text saying "Hold Ctrl while selecting to select multiple maps" Also, I suport the idea of an option of showing all the map thumbnails. Options are good.

o yeah

[Barry Zuckerkorn]

the old way is much better -- you will lose new customers with this new system, as it's seeming complexity will scare them away
