Just a suggestion, but one of the difficulties I encounter is identifying the skill level of a member when deciding to join a table. I do not wish to apply to join a table that has, for example, experts. However, by the time I check the prospective partners skill level, the place is filled.

It would be nice if a person's skill level was identified by colour coding or code letter after the username. Another useful fact would be to know if the person has a profile. I dislike playing with someone whose skill level is 'Private', and has no system identified.

Does anyone else have a comment?

Welcome to forums, I understand you not wanting to join a table of experts :D

Using BBO Windows you can choose which level of players you want to display so you could exclude Experts and Privates. I dont know if this is available on Web BBO.
However, beware that what someone chooses to display in their profile often has little resemblance to reality.
