Idea/Suggestion Type:
Lobby page
Description:
Simplifying thumbnails so that a lazy admin doesnt have to manually do a few clicks to update the thumbnail for a new version of a map.
For example, if someone makes a map that starts with "cp_granary" (like the new cp_granary_pro_rc8) a generic cp_granary thumbnail is used
Or if someone creates cp_logjam_rc4, the older rc3 thumbnail is used.

I hope i made myself clear. Basically, make it so TF2Center detects that the map name says "granary" or "badlands" and automatically apply a thumbnail :)
Pros/Cons:
Pros: Thumbnails for freshly updated maps everytime !

Cons: Newer versions of maps might have misleading thumbnails

I want to decide which version of a map we should default to; that includes a thumb and auto complete when creating the Lobby. Besides, we want only one version of a map to be the "right" version, so that way we encourage consistency across TF2C.

well you can decide based on the etf2l active map list or whatever but the thumbnails have NOT been updated in months making at least 5 maps have outdated thumbnails !
