TF2lobby opens to the public

Perhaps you don't have the TF2 fonts installed to your system directory like I (and many) have done for using them in photoshop and the like.

I seem to be able to read those just fine...?

Wouldn't hurt to change the chat's font though... Really don't see it as much of an issue though.

I never said you can't read them, I said they have low readability. It's a standard design thing. Fancy fonts should never be used for large amounts of text (or stuff you actually READ, not just bits of information) because they will slow down the reader.

this is really, cool, but I think you should link people's steam id pages from their names on the current users tab, and make it more clear when you are logged on

Just played a really intense game that ended 1-1 after a stalemate in the last round. Easily the most fun I've had in TF2

I know many are afraid their skill level is too low to play, but I urge everyone to try it at least once. It's just for fun, and the average skill level isn't that high (I'd say I'm about average based on the 3 pugs I've played). I haven't found many elitists at all, either. It's all pretty relaxed.

Looks great. I'm going to chuck a couple of Playstuff servers into the pool. Checking it out now.

I do have them installed, but then i was just going by what i saw in the OP's picture. Where it does look like Arial. Obviously, there, in the images you pointed out, it could be an issue.

I have to say that I really dig the layout and style of the site. The main reason I've never played a PUG is simply because IRC is completely alien to me and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same, so thanks for making something that brings everything together in a nice neat browser-based package.

like it alot - unfortuenately i can't get it to see my server so cant make a lobby..... any ideas?

 

[Nutomic]

This is what it looks like for me in 1920x1200. As you see, a damn lot of unused space, which lets me always scroll up and down in the lobby list, totally annoying. Could you probably make that bigger (esp. height)?

 

[grazr]

First thing i see when i sign up is a funny man:

and 4 people screaming 9000!!!! at each other (edit: as conviniently demonstrated by Nutomics pic). Is Mangy the only mod?? Because these people are pretty immature.

Also, i think i just found a way of crashing all the Lobby servers. Mangy i added you on steam friends.. er, i guess i'll talk to you when you accept/PM or something..

Most of the people using this are the same people who are on the steam forums. Not much we can do other then ban them and that would cut into the player base greatly.

 

[grazr]

Banning people isn't the only form of moderation or punishment.

 

[martijntje]

Awesome, I absolutely love it.

After playing a few days, I got two suggestions
-Move the ready button up, new players get confused because they have to scroll down
-A ping meter would be nice, since there are hardly any european servers and some people cant stand lag

 

[Nutomic]

You can at least see whether a server is eu or us, and on your continent, you should normally have a good ping.

btw, i guess your sig should be building tutorial

No dignity, damn it.

Being positively parked postmatch by your peers (+)

Just felt like pointing out a spelling mistake there.

 

[Westerhound]

I'll post a spelling mistake too then

If you're new to this form of gameplay or want to brush up on some of its conventions, you can check out A Beginner's Guide to Competitive TF2. Enjoy!

Or is it just my fail English giving false alerts

People really like it when you go spy in comp.
Always go spy no matter what. If they yell at you, it means they are jealous.
