sort order of games in the lobby

Post by chlue »

Normaly I sort the games by status. The problem is, there are nearly always a lot of pw-protected (waiting?) 1players and locked games open. Playing at my latop, seeing only around 10 games (yes I now, i can 'convert' chatplace to gameplace, but I want a big chatwindow) this is quity annoying.

Can the filterlogic be changed, that instead of "green - yellow - red"-state the games are additional sorted by "open - locked - pw_protected". Or even better maybee a button to hide all pw-protected games as long a the button ist pressed. So sorted by state, I would see:
[list]
green open <-- the stuff that matters
green locked <-- maybee worth a look
green pw-protected
yellow open
yellow locked
yellow pw-protected
red open
red locked
red pw-protected[/list]


Another problem with the lobby is, that when I want to review old posts and scroll up, the chat-window allways jumps down, when someone write a new message.

LOL I had no idea you could turn off this feature, it drives me insane when I try to moderate. The sad part is I try to right click for a copy and paste menu all the time by habit, but I never bothered to read what came up and make the connection.

Thanks. My first thought was, 'Damn is it really so easy, and I never saw it?'

Do you have any unknown button for the sortorder-thing too? :-)
Would other people find this option usefull too? And where is the right location to ask for such an extension?

Which is actually broken, when it's off it often just jumps you 3/4 of the way UP the chat history.

we need a filter by mod, by status and by players

for instance

ignore players with 0 players (bots)

Not just sort the list, actualy remove things from the list!

I'd also like it if the ignore feature actually worked.
