Lack already knows the screen resolution of every CC users, as its all in Google Analytics. So he should know which width is best for the most amount of people.

It's just slightly irratating that we in the map foundry have been limited to what width map we can make, and then Lack goes and tosses in huge width feature.

BOB-bug, I'm gonna wait until the dust settles to create a new version, but if you update BOB now, that should work again.

I completely agree. For BOB users, this is the only thing that has really changed, and I do find it kind of annoying. If the spoils get moved to the first column, I could deal with the change, as I would have no need to horizontally scroll, as I usually check there for card information instead of down below with the rest of the BOB stats. IE users would still get all of their important information, just in a different order.

Please take this seriously TeamCC, this is the worst update yet! Seriously, take it off my screen. Please. It looks horrible. Or at least make it an option. There was no need for this if people wanted this they should get BOB.

Cheers, JB ;)

Why is it showing the total number of territories in a game with Fog of War? It should only show the territories you can see. This is giving more information that it should give...

Bob is far far better, the options which are color coded make it much better. Can't stand scrolling to the side to read useless information which I already have beneath the screen. I find that and you must remove the data on fog games. It should only show what you can see. Please give me a remove button!!

Really, we need an option to not display this update. At the very least the spoils need to be back by the players names.

All in all, I can't stand this update.

If people wanted this and were not using Firefox they had no option of getting BOB. The argument to "just get BOB" is not a viable one.

It is. ;)

Make the horrible update optional.

This needs to be turn offable via the user profile and the previous version of bob that does all this stuff already maintained as a separate entity, I think its a good thing in general especially for non-firefox users but it needs to be a bit less unwieldy and certainly optional.

BOB gives you this information. It starts by counting your initial territories, and then adds and subtracts as you conquer territories and have yours conquered. This information is right there in the game log, it just saves you the time of reading through the log and doing the math.

No, making a blanket "go get BOB" statement on anything is not a viable option. Even if it were to be made optional, saying "just go get BOB" is still not a viable option.

Ok ok, I know OP. Sorry buddy I just have strong feelings about this new update and I agree that "just go get BOB" is not viable. Making it optional would be really really good though.

Its about time the playing field was leveled. I myself love not having to turn on Bob now though, which slows down my computer to a near standstill at times.

Just move the chat somewhere where I don't have to scroll up and down. I cant stand scrolling up and down especially during speed freestyle. Put it to the right of the map......or split the log and the chat......or give us an option to choose. The positive about the new update is getting rid of BOB, which is too slow and takes too long to load. Goodbye BOB.......about time.

Since some people are having to horizontal scroll now....which really stinks....can we have an option to decrease our entire font size when playing? That would solve my problem and maybe some others who are horizontal scrolling. Maybe have smallest, small, medium, large, extra large fonts. Then I could have everything up maybe with the smallest font size........? (I don't want to change my standard Firefox options just for CC)

I would rather scroll up and down than side to side. My mouse has a wheel and it's so easy to go up and down.

Something I just noticed: this is nice to have when playing the Conquerman map, which fries my BOB ever time. I definately think this should be made optional as opposed to straight up removed.

Command — (or) Control — will decrease your font size in any browser. It's already built in. ;)

This information is available by simply reading the log, it's not giving anything away.

That would help clean it up quite a bit...

the spoils are a matter of getting used to... nothing bad about putting them at the end.
but yeah some structure in the table would be nice


Perhaps these 4 words could be centered over their respective numbers to make the columns more even.

On a slightly side note, in the next month or two some redesigns may help give some much needed love to the Foundry. ;)
