There should be one like this too.
Obs. Dont post suggestions already beeing posted. Dont post without thinking it through. Not that i believe there will be a flood of comments in the first 10 minutes, but if this is going to be usefull to Panschk it must be organised.
Im not posting sugegstion I already posted in the other threads. They're not that many and it takes not too much time going there and finding them :)
But as for new suggestions, here is 2:
* Shotcuts in the startpage to, latest replays, and latest maps and latest topics. perhaps to the right. would look even more pro :9
* Favourite Maps List - There are a lot of good maps in the database already, but i can`t remember every name and don`t want to lose the overview. That`s why i suggest to give those, who want to have it, an own account to log in, with the possibility to have a Favourite Map List displayed in the personal window.
* A number or percentage of all maps with a chosen Tileset (like 15% of 234 maps have Jungle as Tileset)
* or the twilight tileset has a rating of 5,21 in 2 player maps and 6,25 in 4 player map
* or something like that, have to be thought of what would be good and what not
perhaps there should be a divide between the finnished map section and betamaps. to avoid betamaps to be mixed in the already finnished maps list. perhaps this would create a small melee mapamaking community, and also clean up the finnished map list. I think listoric already made this suggestion somewhere else, and i second that.

I will do something like that. Don't know if having a right frame too is such a good idea. The space on the right would be occupied, If you have a rather small resolution that may leave not enough space in the middle. Right now i'm thinking about including it to the newspage.
* Page reload when you post a comment
No problem, will be done with the next update.
oh, and i can make basic graphics to the site if it is wished for too.
Some graphics might be good for the looks, but only small ones. I want to be able to surf on the page with 64Kbit, something I can't do on broodwar.de or staredit.net, as they are too slow:)

That's something that would take much more work to implement. I will not do that in the weeks to come, maybe later.

You mean having a statistics page, where the data from hundreds of maps is analysied? That would be cool, but we should have 300+maps before that makes reals sense imho.
*increased mapnames to 40 - like the image files
That's alreade done, but the old entries are still false of course, as you don't change the old entries by changing the maximum length (only if it becomes less^^). Tell me which mapid, I can fix the problem manually in mysqladmin.

Well when I want to view only "final" user maps I click on "user-maps final" on the left frame.
You probably want only high qualitiy maps in a section that consists of classic+pro+user-final.
That can be done quite easily but does that really improve much?
graphics: tell me what you want and i see if i can come up with anything artistic.
user-beta maps: I think it would feel like more quality if the beta maps were separated.. but perhaps not. i think what im really getting to is that the automatic listing isnt good. the maps should be listed by date and name. currently i dont know what they are listed by at all :P
Another thing I would like to add is an overview over all replays and a replay counter for each map. I go home and try to do at least some of those things now.
also adding a lighter blue color to every 2nd row in the map list making it easier to see and avoiding clicking the wrong button and getting the next map picture instead of the one you wanna look at :p
those commentsreplays is (almost) as good as i wwould like them ;) can the b but in a row? and given another color, like red or green, something that shows. And finally, the maps which actually have replays have not had the replays counted. all just says zero
hmm... i`d change the position of the replay information, its a bit too much imo. the mapnames are shorter than the additional information behind.
i`d say it would be better to have a own column for comments and one to get to the replay page (if there are replays up). sorta like it is now with the melee maps and obs maps, its only displayed if its available!
The reason some comment numbers and replay numbers are off is that the number of replays is a integer variable in the "maps" table, it does not actually count the number of replays/comments, it is just incremented each time a comment is added. So when there were comments before the feature was added, they don't count. It is possible to put the correct numbers in the table manually, but not really worth it imo.
