"Find all my games with <player>" link on their wall

[Queen_Herpes]

Concise description:

• When you go to the wall of any other player, a link is displayed that says "Show all my games with <player>"
• Link takes you to the list that you get when you go to Game Finder and type in your username and the other player's username

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• Allows players who are searching through "Join A Game" to find out a little bit more about players hosting or in a game in a faster manner. I find myself trying to determine if I've played players before and whether or not the experience was good or bad for different reasons. By the time I've typed it up in game finder, find out that the player-in-question isn't a douchebag, go back to "Join A Game," the game is full or the spot on a team is taken.
• I've certainly used the "Show all games with <player>" link, but it helps to be able to quickly find out if and when I've played the player before.
• Could have other uses for other players looking to jump to particular games with regular teammates, etc.
  
  Potential Bug in this suggestion:
• Circular reference when going to your own wall, not really a bug but the programming would need to be paid attention to for just such a situation.

Also difficult to type some of these player's names in on gamefinder considering the variety of letters and numbers that make up a lot of usernames. I know I can highlight, copy and paste to gamefinder, but that takes time, too...you gotta make sure you don't copy the rank, etc.

[Queen_Herpes]

Also helpful when someone posts on a forum thread... "...have I ever played this A-hole before?" would be nice to have a quick way to find that out without having to take the time to go to Game Finder.

These are all good reasons for your suggestion, and I would like to see it implemented.

Also nice to have this on a page when you need a quick reference to a player you are considering inviting to a game.

Good suggestion, and I'm glad to see it become a part of BOB. Thanks!

Wow, that was quick. With turnaround like that, we will get spoiled!

Well...spoiled by chipv anyway.

Are you the BOB script writer?

I can't use BOB or any other scripts because I don't use FireFox.

I'm still hoping that this gets set up for all users, especially ones like me, who lack the ability to use scripts.

I am not. I'm not sure who is (probably chipv), but I noticed it after updating the last time. That is unfortunate that you can't use scripts; all of the really useful innovations seem to be user scripts, plus they're more quickly implemented.

The BOB job has been taken up by sherkaner, see this thread for current developments.

this is a really good idea that I would love to see implemented for all users.

It would be nice if a moderator could comment on this and let us know if it is possible.

It's not part of the site, but it has been added by BOB.

And those of us without BOB are just pissed.

You do realize that BOB's not exactly difficult to get, right? Seems to me you should only be pissed at yourself.

Sure, but it may be a matter of browser preference (IE diehards are out of luck), and this change is REALLY simple.

You really shouldn't need add on's to get all the options, all i was saying was its a short term solution, should still be on the to-do list imo

Sorry for pissing you off. But it is a nice feature to have in BOB, so I put it in. I guess LackAttack would be slightly hesitant to this change, since it seems to be the place where mods have some additional links too (Nightstrike said he didn't like the position). Which creates the need to make it optional, and Lack kept the amount of options per user very low so far.
Just a guess though, maybe Lack will find a way to implement it.

OMG, my browser doesn't support it and I'm not about to switch over to Firefox for it. I made the suggestion so the site could improve...not so that those-who-have-Firefox can get another cool thing added to their already long list of cool things that they get.

It doesn't piss me off that you added it to BOB. It does piss me off that a perfectly reasonable suggestion has gone without update from the powers-that-be--yet the people who run BOB have quickly added it to BOB. This indicats that it is a really helpful, useful addition that people want to see. Unfair to force people to change their browser or add a script to get more out of the game.

It's silly for you to complain about something you have the power to remedy yourself.

That's like bitching and moaning that Halo 3 is only made for the Xbox360. "OMG my PS3 doesn't support it and I'm not about to buy an Xbox for Halo 3. I made the suggestion so Halo 3 can improve, not so those-who-have Xboxes can get another cool game added to their already long list of cool games that they get. Unfair to force people to change their console to get a game they want."

Or that an iPhone app doesn't work on your Blackberry. "OMG my Blackberry doesn't support it and I'm not about to buy an iPhone for it. I made the suggestion so the app can improve, not so those-who-have iPhones can get another cool app added to their already long list of cool apps that they get. Unfair to force people to change their phone to get an app they want."

If you really wanted a solution to this problem, one is available to you, albeit through a sacrifice of some kind. Just like everything else in this world.

Suck it up, cupcake.
