empty stations cannot be removed anymore :?
You can only fill or empty the stations content, and resize them, but not remove them afaik.

How do I empty the station that contains Shootmania? I uninstalled the game and it's still there. And I have tried pressing delete too.

Some stations cannot be emptied, i.e. the main titles like Storm (including Elite, Joust and Royal), as they're bound to your ManiaPlanet account.
Regarding deinstallation of the open beta and the demo, this is apparently a bug.

At the beginning I was only few stations, then after every game (Shootmania demo, Valley, Stadium demo etc.) more and more of them appears. Now I have 4 stations with games and 6 empty ones. Should I add more? :) I really need more empty stations. :P

After all, your idea isn't bad at all, rat_in_car :thumbsup:

The main title page could (or even should?) hide empty stations, at least after some have been populated.
Only in the editing mode of the titles screen the remaining empty stations should appear.

To make it not to complicated for the beginners, the [+] icon at the bottom should also have a new entry:
"Fill Station: Assign a title to an empty station [FILL]".

And there chould also be the option to hide specific stations, if this is easier to implement than the removal of undesired or obsolete titles.

Those stations are not counted as usuable into Maniaplanet (you can't load another Title Pack on it). It only shows the major titles that you can install via the keys registered on your Maniaplanet account.

Agreed, but if the players had "registered" a demo or beta key, they can't remove the respective titles anymore, so it's like a nag screen now.
It's like you would fill up all empty stations with custom titles, but could never unload them anymore (luckily this is not the case).

If the whole setup was completely free and no game was purchased at all, ok, then it's certainly acceptable to have some advertisement there for the main products.
But people who acutally already have purchased some of the games, which they tried out before and enjoyed, would also like to have the freedom to remove what they definitely do not want to keep.

ManiaPlanet obviously knows which titles are registered to each account, so why not let users remove the titles from the stations and have them add titles again to the stations, just like custom titles?
Its only a question useability and of customer satisfaction, please think about it :)

Sorry for turning a bit the topic into a different direction, I hope it's still ok in this case :oops:
