    How about a tweek to the status and friends bar in the left margin of the main WGT window/page? 

    How about a 3rd column so instead of just a name and average we can see their tier as well?  With the 50-300 "friends" a lot of players have, it's impossible to keep track of all their tiers and promotions.  Sometimes you want to play within your tier, and sometimes you don't care.

    A third column, or a pop up when I hover over their name (like in the game play window) would go a long way towards helping me quickly assess my acquaintances when I'm thinking about playing a game.

    You can already sort then based on avg

    Not sure, but I think Choppo is talking about the friends list on the gameclient page, not the homepage of a CC.  but you can mouse over the friends list and see a profile summary of the player and that helps in making play decisions.  Not a bad idea though

    When I click "play now," of course I can mouse over them.  But, often times I don't open that window right away.....I'm looking at a forum or my CC forum, etc.  I simply think it'd be easier to put that capability in on the home page.  May save some people a step or two......may be moot.  Who knows.....just flinging some poo at the wall to see what sticks.

    A decent suggestion. Thanks Chop, your input is greatly valued :)

    Has been suggested before.

    However even in the Game Window, hovering your mouse doesn't always pop up their stats.

    This would also be of value in a Leaderboard, hovering your mouse to see tier and basic stats.

    In some areas of the site you can do this, sometimes it takes a click, you wait and it then appears, in that very same area, you can click and wait on a player all you like and nothing will pop up, yet the player directly underneath, will pop up stats.

    The friends list on the left of the main WGT page (Not game client) could do with some tweaking.

    • hovering your mouse to get stats.
    • Improving the scroll bar so it stays where you leave it instead of refreshing in 5 seconds (currently you have to be VERY quick to scroll down to view a player and click on a player at the end of the Alphabet.
    • Check boxes next to each name with options to delete all checked - send message to all checked.
    • User notes - right click a friends/ members name and have a sticky note pop up in which you could take a few short notes. Hover your mouse over the 'note' icon to view a pop up of the notes.
    • Forcing true status mode, so we aren't endlessly inviting players who aren't currently active (AFK) or are actually in a game.
      Similar a time out - if they haven't clicked their mouse in WGT site for say 10 mins, their dot would turn red or grey.
      This can be overided by the player - in case he is having a hit and waiting on a friends invite. But, any new game he begins or next 'time out' should revert to accurate status.

    Please note these down Pizza. :)

    The last bullet would be great.  I've seen sites that time you out (to "busy") if you've not moved around on the site in say 5 minutes or so.  I know it can be done.  

    No, it won't generate revenue directly.  But, sometimes increasing the quality of the regular players' experience generates revenue.
