Concise description:
  • From my times once frequenting the "live chat" area one of the greatest problems to me was when trying to get a game together, once the # was posted you had to then take that number, find that game, and pray your spot hasn't been filled. I propose you somehow make it so that when a game # is posted, it automatically becomes clilcky.

Specifics:
  • Make it so that the game #'s posted in live chat are clicky.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • It will make the Callouts section of live chat more convenient by saving time and effort in getting to their games
  • It will decrease the number of 3rd party players accidentally entering a game that 2 of the 3 members believe is a rt game. while the third joins and logs off.

pfft - just buy prem and put a pw on it, or ask a prem person to make it and then leave when someone has joined.
but i do agree with you-good idea.

We don't allow "direct join" links in Live Chat, unless you warn everyone that clicking that link will force them into the game. You can already post hyperlinks in chat.

pfft

how about there is another button that you click that posts in your text entering thingy this:
http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=
then people can just paste the game # in the end like this:
http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=2484820
eh?

and why dont you allow game #'s in there? *(as links)

links are allowed. DIRECT links that put you in the game are not.

It would just need to be coded the same way the forum [game] tag is coded. That takes you to the Join that Game page when the game has spots open, but into the game when it is filled.

Examples: Game 2615453 or Game 2573789
