 Advanced Player Search1. Team: Doesn't matter Yes No 2. Green Dot (eligible for games): Doesn't matter Yes No While I cannot think of why anyone might want to search for players NOT eligible for games, the "doesn't matter" and "yes" options are necessary. 1. Team (the player is a member of a team). This would improve player recruitment by eliminating players already on teams. 1 & 2 combined would greatly assist team captains in arranging matches. |

Team Rating Just how much trouble would it be to include a green dot (eligible) and team member option? It's been half a year since this was first proposed. How often does GK roll out new features? Also, is there a forum topic or place where we can see what GK is working on currently? |

Current Team Member I really wish I could skip these, and the GK database must know if they are current team members or not. The green dot option would likely require additional processing, as I imagine the status for each player is computed when the team is displayed, instead of kept in a file. What is the delay in implementing the current team filter? Why wouldn't team captains regard this as useful for searching for suitable opponents? |

Thanks, Hamot2! I think about the bandwidth I'm wasting, and GK processor time, and wonder if other team captains have the same issue. GK HAS to know, pretty easily, and could populate the search screen with some radio check box so the team rating fields could be ignored. The second request is for the green dot, but this could be trickier. GK might not know whether the player is on line at the moment in the database, but might instead have to do a look up, and that could be more CPU intensive. So I can certainly understand if that option isn't feasible. But the team option--they HAVE to know--it has got to be right there in the database. |

Four Years Also, GK broke the profile photo several years ago, and hasn't fixed that either. My two pet peeves. |

If they join another Team it's starts again anyway , what about a current Team Rating Button ? |

Team Rating - Advanced Player Search & TOs A timeout flag should be on the game history screen. This one was someone else’s idea, but a good one. The little chessboard icon seems like wasted space, it should be obvious by the link indicator that you can click the win/loss. My recommendation is that the board image be replaced by a clock to indicate games won or lost by timeout. It would be a pretty small, simple change, but would eliminate a captain’s need to examine every game to determine the cause for a string of losses, or if a recent rating decline was the result of timeouts. |
