I have a much bigger beef, something that really prevents me from lurking the forums here as much as I'd like to (from sheer annoyance). Everytime I click on a thread it automatically shows me the bottom post and I have to scroll all the way to the top of the thread to read through it. If the thread has multiple pages, it'll put me on the last post of the last page. I'm using internet explorer 9? (the one that comes with 64 bit windows 7). It also does this in google chrome. I don't know if it's my resolution or not also but when I scroll I get some screen tearing. Never had this happen on any other website altho it may be that I run pretty high res (1920x1080) and on a 40 inch lcd.
Also, I agree with the rating/popularity idea. I would love to help out some mapmakers test their maps during the beta downtime but I have no idea where to start. Maybe a 'needs testing' forum section where people could go and post comments. Rather than play an individual map and post comments on the download page of the map itself. For one, the project might be semi-abandoned and the tester is wasting their time and two, if you find a pretty bad glitch and post about it you will discourage other people from downloading the map and playing it, even if there's a new version out and the glitch has been fixed (if the creator didn't mention in the update they fixed it.)
I'm pretty confident they'll add another search feature or two. Would be more or less pointless to even have a drop down menu if the only options are blizzard maps, popular and... I don't even remember the other 2. I went through the list the other day and played just about every map on it (including the ones way down on page 4 or 5) and I found that the best maps were the most played ones. I agree though this will be a problem when games no one has played will be so far down you can never ever find them. I'd like to see a 'popular author maplist' down the road 'new maps' and 'new popular maps.'

Where can we get the map to help you test it?
