"Connection Cancelled" when I vote changemap tbd_mayhem

I got it to happen three times in a row. If I pick that map (presumably any map I don't have a current version of), my connection is cancelled and I'm off the server. My wireless is a little spotty, but happens so exactly when my screen should start to show the map download that something's going on.

Figured it out. I had "verify user made content" checked back when goons were making some obscene maps. So every time an unverified map, like mayhem, started to be loaded, I was kicked from the server.

Also, I forgot that I had official maps only in my server filters for the same reason. I just unchecked that and wow, there are a lot of servers and players!

This explains why servers were disappearing after my connection was cancelled - they were now running an unapproved map and were filtered out.

I suggest a better way to explain to the user what's going on than "Connection Cancelled."

huh... i thought we did have a better explanation... we'll definitely get that in soon.

Also "Approved" maps are simply maps in your <Altitude Install>/maps directory so if you want to play mayhem etc just download the maps to your map dir.

Thanks. That could probably use a better explanation as well.
