For example, in the tournament "Goin on Walkabout" (http://www.wargear.net/tournaments/view/27), there is andyj330 (http://www.wargear.net/players/info/andyj330) who hasn't logged in in over a week. This is especially worrisome since it's a team tournament.

I suggest that not only should a player have to have uploaded an image to join a tourney, a player should also have finished x number of games (say 5) to join a TEAM tourney.

Yes that's a pretty good idea... the impact of dropping out of a team tourney is much worse than a regular tourney.

Big thanks to IRoll11s for the awesome job he's done on the Board explorer code - this now looks fantastic with full support for Fill and Dual Layer modes.

I know that I'm just pretending to be Yertle here, but when I use the fill thing to view the territories on "Across the Great Divide" the whole map turns yellow and everything becomes territory 114. I've done like 20 other maps and haven't found that issue anywhere else.
My maps are all fine, I just can't figure out the bonuses on any of them.

Yes there does seem to be a problem with that board - we think it's the only one.

The Player has been updated to fix a few longstanding bugs + update the game win messages:

12/05/2010    Player: Fixed bug when trading cards midway through placing units which caused an error in the Player
12/05/2010    Player: Artillery attacks in foggy limited attack games to territories with the minimum number of units now count as an attack and show the unit count on the target territory (http://www.wargear.net/forum/showthread/603/Artillery_Borders_+_Fog)
12/05/2010    Player: Fixed bug when reloading game during transfer phase resulted in the transfer window appearing off screen (but still responsive to keyboard input)
12/05/2010    Player: Added missing Rules to Boards tab
12/05/2010    Player: Update game win messages to include ranking and other stats

Now to go win a game so I can actually see it...

The last one has been a long time coming... really should have done it a while ago. There might well be some unforseen issues / bugs relating to this so please let me know and I'll fix them asap.

Raptor - I've tested on IE8 and it all seems fine, what specifically isn't working? Have you tried a refresh (F5)?

I see you fixed this.  Thanks!

But now...I just finished a tournament game on GearWars and it popped back in my list to Rate, but I've already Rated it: http://www.wargear.net/boards/view/Gear%20Wars:%20Episode%20I/Ratings

This will save me years over the course of my lifetime. Now, what to do with that time?

Great, I'll just delete all that convoluted login logic I just finished for the extensions. 

Seriously though that is great, that one computer or browser at a time thing was frustrating.

This is probably a dumb question, but what is the "Board Explorer"?  I tried searching the message board, and I clicked around some of the board tabs, but didn't see anything? 

It's under the 'Board' tab when you click on a board in the Boards list - e.g.

http://www.wargear.net/boards/view/Ancient%20Isles%20of%20Kjeldor/Board

IRoll11s put together the clickable bits which show the borders, continents etc.
