I think you should add a limit to the number of people who can RSVP to a specific lobby.
Why?

No, because many people don't show up in those huge lobbies with 40 people RSVP'd

I can tell you that from personal exprience, but even Spades and AJ will tell you that too

whenever someone posts a new map the link in the shoutbox directs you to the discussion section, the overview tab would be more fitting to be directed to

I wish there was a way when you rate a host that you could give them feed back.
3 minutes ago - Fuzzle:
you mean private feedback?
3 minutes ago - Charles Stoot:
something like that.
2 minutes ago - Charles Stoot:
Because when ever I ask people on what I can improve on They never respond.
2 minutes ago - Fuzzle:
you can send the host a message or you can reply in the thread itself i dont see a use for it
2 minutes ago - Fuzzle:
ah okay
2 minutes ago - Fuzzle:
maybe they are just too satisfied
1 minute ago - Charles Stoot:
But what they say is it is so much work. Not my op ion but I think if a pop up comes up after you rate the host saying would you like to give feed back. This would help.
1 minute ago - Charles Stoot:
This will also clarify that you rated the host.
A moment ago - Fuzzle:
i like the idea

My concern with that those who don't rate won't get the opportunity to respond. Some people might be left in the middle of "should I vote up or down?" because of a stipulation concerning the match. This could be better addressed if everyone who RSVP'd could be sent a mass message from the host. For example...

​

"Thanks to everyone who attended! Below again are the maps that we played:​

(the following have links and authors)​

blah #1​

blah #2​

blah #3​

I was particularly concerned about blah #2. Did you have (this random issue)?"​

This is not my point of view i get awesome feed back for maps and Mini games. I am referring to the aquatically lobby and what they revolve around. That is the opinion that I am looking for in a this message.

You can report them to a staff member. Abusing the system will be harshly dealt with, on either the host or player side.

I noticed on a mobile device or specifically iPads, I can't see my inbox, alerts, etc. options. They are completely covered by the search bar. Gets really annoying too, having to navigate around this.

Try the Light style (though it lags behind in updates), it's designed for mobile use and the Dark style is not currently.

Maybe add how many players (not which players, just how many) have RSVP'd when browsing Halo Customs (not having to go into the game, just being able to see the number of people while looking in Upcoming View). It would show up in the info box. Home>Customs>Upcoming View. I just think it would be helpful.

There needs to be, for the host of a lobby, a button that allows you to message, to X-box live accounts, all that are in your lobby. This would be amazingly helpful when your running late, or you need to move your time, etc. This would also be helpful when sending messages to, X-box live accounts, the one's that attended in telling then to rate lobby. P.S: I know about the ! mark thing but that some times doesn't work when trying to get the people that don't normally get on HC to rate lobbies.

Xbox.com doesn't allow you to do that, as far as I know. However, if you control-click on each RSVPer, it goes to xbox.com to send them a message

Ya but then you have to wait a whole 25 sec before you send another one. and seriously there isn't that function, don't they have select all on your friends list. Huh I though there would be a way. Well that would be very helpful. have you considered my other comment above.

 

[NinetysBorn]

What if on your profile page there was a tab for your current/future customs. Kind of like the maps tab, but for custom game lobbies instead I think this would be really awesome and helpful. Especially, when looking for lobbies by your favorite host. Psssst Insane54 is anybody there?

I tried the light style, but it still doesn't work. My profile name/options are still hidden behind the search bar. Again, this only happens to me when I use the site on an ipad.

I think that the "Top Maps" system could be improved a bit more. It is based solely on ratings, and I think you should use total downloads as a secondary method of calculation. My flood map should be #5 under top maps for flood, but it is tied (in terms of rating) with nine other maps for that fifth spot. This puts it at the tenth slot, but because it has more total downloads than the other 5-star one rating flood maps, it should be above them, in fifth place. This would be just enough to put it in the "top maps" bar at the left.

"Top Maps" is actually already based on a mix of rating and downloads; download count tends to take priority actually

Really? That can't be... then how come Battleship isn't #5 under top flood maps? (It has more downloads than the other maps with equal rating) Or am I missing something obvious? The top maps system looks to be based on a mix of total ratings and the average rating, with downloads not at all being accounted for.
