    I'm not sure if this has been talked about, but it would be very nice to have the default lobby browser filter for 'filter modded games' set at BOTH modded and non-modded.

    I see server mods are becoming more and more popular, but it is extremely hard to fill a lobby with a server mod since players don't see the games in the browser, and probably don't even know about that filter.

    +1 to this, but I don't know if it's needed just yet.

    I think the modded (or not) column needs to be more prominent if we're to do that. Maybe it needs to be closer to the name if the game so it's the second item seen.

    A better lobby change would be adding secondary colors.

    I don't know much about programming, but these fixes should only take a few seconds to tweak I imagine.

    A few minutes really, but they may have more UI tweaks that they want done first so that it doesn't mess up their plans.

    Also needs to be in red lettering. Red lettering solves all problems.

    I agree it sould be in "vanilla" PA, but there is a UI mod which do exactly that.

    +1 to op. I would also like an option to filter out locked games.

    Yes, as long as modded games have yellow text or something that makes it obvious they're modded. Its really hard to fill a modded game lobby otherwise, and vanilla balance isn't really fun....
