Hi guys, I have two suggestions to improve our lives here at tf2maps.
The first is for the website, specifically for browsing screenshots of maps. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but if anyone has ever been over to FPSB, when you click on any screenshot in the set thats listed on the map's page, it brings you to another page that has both the screenshot you wanted to view, and a little bar of all the other ones associated with the map, so you can easily switch, instead of having to open all of them at once, usually filling up your tabs (like on here).
The second has to do with the server/website, and how they could be integrated. Now I'm not really sure how to do this, but I'd like to just suggest something. Let's say when you're playing a map on the server, be it gameday or just regularily, and you type in "!map" or "!thread", your steam overlay will open a webpage that searches this website for the map that the server is currently playing. This would involve no input on the admin's part (as in, having to put in the URL for each map that gets uploaded), and would probably improve the feedback mappers get, because most people are too lazy to go search up the map they were playing on. This system would also give us better feedback, because the user can easily switch back and forth from the thread they are posting in, and the map they are commenting on.
Anyways, those are my suggestions, what do you guys think?
