Turn Order Suggestion

I am still working on my Campaign in roll20. So far, I think the site is amazing. Great work, guys. Here's one suggestion. When I, the GM, advance the turn order, can you have the associated token automatically selected? Just for the GM, not for any of the players. Would be helpful since I will have several orc tokens on the screen at the same time and they all look pretty similar. Thanks!

Currently, if you hover over someone in the initiative order it highlights the corresponding token with a yellow box. I hope that helps - Gauss
That is helpful. For some reason, I wasn't noticing that. I still think selecting their name from the Turn Order layer would also be more useful. Especially if you have a group of tokens that look a lot a like crowded around the same place on the map. Easy to select the wrong token in that case.
I put in a suggestion to have the token highlighted with some kind of symbols while others have asked to have the map center on the token.
Currently, if you hover over someone in the initiative order it highlights the corresponding token with a yellow box. I'd add to what you're saying here that only the user doing that actually sees the yellow box: it's not streamed to the other participants, so its usefulness is somewhat restricted in the sense of communicating to others who is acting next and such things.

Thanks for the reference, Axel. I think selecting the token and zooming on the location would be ideal.

it's mentor only. Here's my suggestion for marking which is the active token. Even if it's at the Mentor forum, it's good listing it here for completeness.
