Concise description:

Change layout of game page to this

Specifics/Details:

as shown in the image below

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

We can get 140% larger maps
there are no downsides at all
currently, large map size limit is 840x800 and small is 630x600. With this change, the limits could be upgraded up to 1200x800 and 900x600.

Do you really need map rank during games?

Anyway, it could be put under the t-shirt?

Care to elaborate?

The main advantage of this sug. is, that we could get 140% bigger maps, without requiring for horizontal scrolling even on 1024*768 resolutions (if they use small maps).

This wouldn't even increase the need for vertical scrolling. All the things I moved above the map image are things you very rarely need during games.

i already have to scroll up and down, this would map it more difficult for me

Yes natty, this is perfect. You have filled the screen with all of the things that you need to play the game, and made everything else, available with the scroll. I have been an advocate of this for over 3 years.

I don't like this suggestion because it clutters the top portion of the layout. If this were modified to have each menu as a JS hover over drop-down under the current top menu (bascially you have a button for each category, and the four sub buttons drop-down when hovered over). I wouldn't be as opposed to this. However as an option this is actually a decent idea.

I try these,but nothing hepend,because i dont have support from moderators.
( i dont know where i lost images,but they diferent then yours example).
Any way,if you get support from moderators and Lack,then probably you have chance for change,all other support are more or less dont worthy to much.

i like the smaller maps, lets me focus on the whole thing at once. When I switch to the larger map I have to consciously make sure to check all corners of the board individually, otherwise I'm liable to miss something

Small maps would still be an option with this layout.

I think that what he was saying is, that he is forced to play the small image because the whole map fits within the screen.

With your proposed layout, more of the large image will fit. The menu's on the left, and the player info. on the right, take up space that would be better used for the map and action buttons.

YES! Bigger is better and better is best, therefore this should be implemented. My logic is infallible.

There is a suggestion to potentially increase the number of players possible. If that were to be implemented, where would the extras go?

Same place.
