Can I build a profile for finding new games?

After various annoying experiences I don't particularly rush to play doubles or trebles any more, I hate Chained fortifications and get annoyed with Fog of War (heresy though that may be to say!). So when I serach for new games to enter I end up ticking the same old selection boxes over and over which is a bit dull, I'd like to be able to set up a default profile for myself that has all this pre-ticked and just search on this each time. Is this possible or could it be developed?

Theres a greasemonkey script that allows this to happen. If you have firefox, you can download the "save game finder" add-on

I was using that and then all of a sudden all my saves are gone and the option to save them is no longer available, so now what? The dull process of clicking the squares over and over and over.

if you want multiple games of teh same kind, just spam-click the create game button after you click each button on the Start-A-Game page.

Click the create button as fast as you can, then end after 10-20 seconds and you will have a LOT of the same kind of games.

it depends how fast your internet is right when you try it.

once, it only started 4 for me.
another time, i ended up with 26 created.
Just repeat the process if nescessary (sp?)

If there is one kind of game that you prefer and only play, that is teh way to go.

yep. not many people know about this one. It basically sends the request to make a new game to the server multiple times, but since you do it so fast, the page doesnt have time to refresh, sending the exact same request many times. But the server cant tell the difference, so it makes each of those requests into an indavidual game.

I dont remember who told me, but it sure does help a lot.
