Joining a Game Suggestion

[pimphawks70]

Concise description:

• After joining a game for the "join game" page, don't automatically go the waiting for players game page.

Specifics:

• pretty clear above

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

Will make joining games more appealing. It will help to cut down on the number of pages of games waiting for players.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I hate having to go back to the filtered screen I was just on, or re-enter the criteria into game finder, when I want to join more of the same type of game.

Tabs work wonders.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.


But, perhaps having it as an option somewhere in your profile?
"Return to 'Games Waiting for Players' page upon joining a game?"
Yes (default) No

How will tabs help with this?

Open the game you wish to join in a new tab on your internet browser.
The search is still in the original tab, but you've joined the game in the other.


Of course, the tab would still go back to the waiting for players page, but that can easily be fixed.

Ok, because i'm apparently not good at the interwebz, how can I make a link I click open in a new tab? Hold down something like ctrl or alt?

It depends on your internet browser. (I don't know any shortcuts though)
Usually right clicking on the link to join the game should bring up a menu which includes "Open in a new tab" (not all browsers may have this)

Ha, just tried it. Holding down ctrl when you click does this in FF. Thanks!
