'game finder' suggestion

<Subject>:

add 'all' and 'none' buttons to the map selection on the 'game finder' page.

<Body>:

Suggestion Idea: I work with a piece of software that has some pages with a large number of filters, all with tick boxes to select them. To make the user's life easier, we have "all" and "none" buttons (obviously to either put ticks in all the boxes, or take them all out). Maybe we can have something similar to allow us to choose all maps in 1 click (and to remove them all if we choose it by mistake)

With the large number of maps available to search on now, if you aren't fussy as to which map you want to look for, there's a lot of clicking to allow you to look for all maps.

(ok, so I couldn't think of the best way to split this into 'suggestion idea', 'specifics' and 'why it's needed')

Priority: 3? it would definitly make life a lot easier.

well, there you go... you learn something new every day!

maybe it's not so important to have an 'all' and a 'none' button then

Too many people make this mistake. The current wording for the Game Finder instructions is "Search for games that match the following criteria."

Any suggestions on how to word it better? I like to keep it concise if possible.

How about "Search for games the match ONLY the following criteria. If you don't have a preference on a certain category, you do not have to tick any boxes in that category."

or a slight tweak to that:

Search for games that match the following criteria.
(if you have no preference in a selection category, leave all those boxes unticked)
