Further "features":

-Allow different sorting options. Right now, it sorts on ELO. Which is GREAT. It would be nice to be able to sort on individual life form. So if I am looking for a fade, I can click fade icon, and it shows all who are fades sorted in ELO order.

Move the "Select" button and the "info" button to opposite sides of the player list item. Accidental clicks seem to be a problem.

Also pasting links in the chat box doesn't create a hyperlink automatically.

Thanks Bauer, Simba & Crazy for taking the time to make suggestions

I've added issues (todos) on pretty much everything raised, so it will get done

would be nice if the chatbox filled the page vertically like the other parts do.

Maybe have the ability to mute text from other players from the list of users, not sure what the list does right now either, other than make me hate people idling and not playing gathers :p

Can we have a "never below 30%" skill level?

Denied. Not everybody can be this drunk every day, hera.

.
Make a very high skill level which everyone can just select and therefore does not say anything about your skill.
You could also add a skill level "beginner". It would basicially function as the "fat kid" stamp of the gather system.

-
High, mid and low is enough. You could also go very high/ high / mid / mid-low / low but its too complicated and what is the basis on which skill is measured anyway. Since I am a bad player, I miss my "div 10" skill option though.
Its my excuse for painting the walls with bullets instead of my enemies. hehe

high/medium/low just puts 90% of the players into medium skill. Even if there were more options it wouldn't be perfect,

Also, noticed that people who are no longer online can still be in the gather, if a player isn't online maybe there should be a 5min timer that removes them from the gather.
As of right now the current gather has 2 people who are no longer online, and looking at them on steam haven't been on for 7hrs in some cases.

I think that's what the regather function is there for, crazy.

maybe but if it always goes like yesterday where you regather and even though everyone is there not everyone joins quickly. it would just make the whole process smoother if a player who is no longer online is removed from the gather after 5mins, that allows a player to reboot and not have to worry about losing a slot.

vote regather should be 9/12. There should be a new "vote kick" option to kick AFK's. Yuo can't depend on "regather" to account for that, because it completely resets the gather, and those who don't click "join" fast enough they get removed from the gather. New people take their slots and fuck them.

don't know if it was mentioned yet but in my opinion the design should be changed just so that it's not as incredibly bright as it is right now. not asking for some beautiful interface, but the brightness is killing my eyes at night lololol

Once you vote, the gather music should stop. Like it used to be. Also, yuo should not be able to LEAVe the gather after it has started. That's opening up for a lot of trolling where someone can join 12th slot to spam ppl with music and get them excited, then immediately leave.

i do like the being able to leave option though. it's really useful for when you suddenly realize that you can't play.... you should get like a cooldown though when you leave, like 10 minutes or something - maybe that could solve the issue

+1 for this, the current white one is just too bright at nights, while watching adult movies and waiting for a gather just takes away all the focus

Deano: OK, will take a look (https://github.com/cblanc/sws_gathers/issues/43)
Ryssk, Hera: Done but still need to deploy latest updates
Crazy: Theme done but need to redeploy
Simba: Ok, will do this soon (https://github.com/cblanc/sws_gathers/issues/42)

AWS partial outage has prevented me from pushing updates this morning /-:

Hey!

Good work on this - Much need to have more gathers going :D.

As for the layout I find it a tad confusing, things should be a bit more centered towards the gather itself. I've done quite a lot of UI and as a user, I don't know what to look at first.

Arriving at the page my first focus should be on the current gather lobby, check out the players and such. My initial decision of staying or leaving is based on this.

Then while I wait, my eyes start to wander and find things like the ChatBox and the Previous Gathers list. So here is what I would suggest:

- Current Gather lobby centered on the screen, with chatbox docked underneath.
- Online Players to the right, Navigation items should be on the left if any.
- Then below you add the previous gather and any other info. (Eventually these might become a new page and go in the nav menu)

I'll try to post a pic of what I mean.

Again good job on the upgrade, it's looking good.

New color worse imo. to dark. Would like to see nation flags next to people's names after the gather compiles as well. Anyone interested in a revote button for server?

I like the new color... maybe you should implement an option to change it as you will, so people that don't like this one can get it back to normal or something

Revote server button might not be bad, maybe something like 6/12 would be good

too blue!

Would be nice to have the option to highlight your prefered lifeform, while I can play everything, I might prefer to play fade one day and having it show a different coloured icon would be nice.
would be nice to see more than one past gather too

Let's just change the NSL colors to purple. Looks better anyways.
