Can there be a page to show all the members who are currently online. I have been on number of times where there are only 30ish people online, no games available, then I create a game and waited for 5 mins but on-one joined. If there is a list of who is online, next to their user name you can see if he's playing a game or not, so I can invite a member who currently isn't playing a game instead of just waiting.
thoughts?

Perhaps, as an alternative, you could have a message output in the chat area
(similar to "Your friend xxxxx logs in") which announces something like:
"buddytobud's game (Original Ranked) is now available"
This would mean that you wouldn't have to keep checking to see if there is a game available (and going through each game type one by one) to determine if there is some other lonely player waiting for someone to join their room.
Of course you would have to have the option to enable/disable these messages in the same way as you can disable entry/exit messages (preferably a separate option for each for each game type).

That is an excellent idea!
Especially for killer and carom. Quite often i see people in the members bar having to type it themselves.
"making a killer/carom game please join"
Nice idea, i like it

Very good idea, best I've heard in a while! Would be very useful.

The only problem I can see with this, is the fact that back when we had 30 plus announcements there was a lot of unwanted lag! Now this clearly doesn't effect either me or you dave but I know a fair few disgruntled users often complaining about the ye old lag!
But other than that it's a cracking idea!

There's also a possibility in modifying an old suggestion Nick had about the invites system.
Rather than be restricted to one player, you could have dropdowns to show :
All Online, Friends
In Game, Waiting, Chatting
With the option to invite chatting players, or join game if they are waiting.
Game types, rank preferences etc could also be incorporated.
This would give you the options without interfering with the game as it is, and let you filter things when there are 300+ players online!
