On the games list it tells you the # of the map but that's not that helpful. Can we turn that into a link or a hover-over that actually shows you what the map is? Sometimes I've joined games only to find out it's a really dumb map and I could've sseen that just by looking at it.

I agree!! I usually go into the "create your own game" section to look at the map before I join a game!!! Would be a very nice feature!!

I've figured out a way to turn the comment field into a link to the map image stored on the SBW site - see my last two created games for an example. If anybody wants to know how, send me a message. It uses what, in the wrong hands, could be a minor security risk on the site, so I'd rather not post it for all to see. Obviously, a more straightforward way of showing the map would be better, along with a removal of the risk.

Oops - the games with the map preview looked fine on the join screen, but they're messing up the Current Games list pretty bad. These are games 39757 and 39758. Not a viable technique, then. Sorry for making people's tables ugly.

I have added this in. You should be able to see the map by mousing over the name on the join screen now.
