Beta maps

Concise description:
There should be a link to all Beta map's threads from the game page. I know that there is a link from the my my games, if you click on the map thumbnail, but then if you have 50+ games, and you've skipped 4 or 5 to play later, when you come back, you have to skip them again, whereas you could just left click to open in a new window and not worry about that.
Specifics/Details:
It would be for Beta maps only, link would be removed when map goes out of Beta

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
Well, this is bloody well what Beta maps are for, now isn't it? =D

Good idea. Maybe a similar thing could be used as when tournament games have a link to the tournament incorporated to the game title...

This would be good, so that people can give feedback to the map without having to dig through all of my posts navigate their way around the forum.

I would argue in favor of this by saying that the link should remain in perpetuity or be replaced with a link to the strategy guide.

I like this idea. However, what about making the link from the active game itself?

i would even go as far and say you could leave the link always there.

i often find myself having to navigate trough find games->browse->select map->discussion thread, only because i want to look at neutral starters, amount of neutrals on each country, starting positions @ poker club, etc.

but i can live without that, the beta maps, on the other hand, could REALLY use that link. seems like a great plan to me!

Hard to find something from Queen I agree with most of the time, but agree completely here. Have it there forever and be replaced with a link to strategy.

I second those above who say have it be there all the time. There's another suggestion like this floating around out there on the other side of the "submitted" wall. I can't figure out why every game setting except for what map is being played is listed on the game screen. So once that information is added to the game screen, why not make it clickable and link to that map's foundry page?
