    in general, what's the difficulty in adding a graphical mouseover?

    my thought would be that as you mouseover the tourney name on the tourney tab that you could get the tropy to appear as the tooltip. would be really kewl and save a few clicks to get into the tourney to see it (couldn't think of a better way to add it to the info without cluttering it up even more).

    I'm a man.
    But I can change,
    if I have to,
    I guess...

    Good idea, I added a new column for this.

    that'll work, tho the popup placing needs fixed. if you mouseover one of the ones towards the bottom of the page (without scrolling down) the popup appears half off the screen

    on further looking its currently tied to mouse placement (upper left is tied to mouse).

    Ok I tweaked it a little, plus the player profile trophy pics as well.

    nice, if you get your cursor just right, you can get to trophies to go back an forth continually without moving the mouse (Somewhere just right of center in between trophy images).

    It can go anywhere really... where do you have in mind? Board images?

    Aye, seems like a lot fast than the WarGear Board Browser and no clicks.  I guess you lose the ability to scroll, but still seems like it could be faster.

    Board Preview on the Game Info page too.

    ...I think I would actually prefer it everywhere images pop out to the Board Browser thingy (Games List, profile images, join/create game, etc.)

    not entirely sure that having it everywhere would be a good thing. it's a neat do-dad and makes those pop; but it is rather annoying already when scrolling down the page and everying is popping up and down. to have that happen everywhere you turn could just be overboard. plus this makes it special...!

    I agree this can be over used.  I dislike the new Google image search for this very reason.  Every picture pops up over the search results so you can't click on anything near the popped up image.  I do not want to see this on the board browser

    Since it already exists for tournament trophies everywhere else, it would make sense to put it on the "players" screen of the tournaments.  At least I just joined the seven tourney and was disappointed the mouse over didn't work there.

    The bottom trophy image runs out of room to display so it gets clipped by the breadcrumb bar that is at the bottom of the page.
    Would be cool if it supported transparency as well. If it can't do transparency then I don't currently recommend it for Boards.
