Say you've made a really cool replay, and you really want your friend to see it. But say he has no type of file sharer. I'm thinking when you go to setup > replays there should be a option that says "Server view". You just click the replay name, and hit that button. Then the people in your server can see your replay.

Reason: Typo :/
K, so you want a nice easy way of passing a replay to other people without having to use file sharing sites etc. That I get.
You also want a method of doing it via the client.
ATM your current idea just wont work - well the bit where it forces everyone in the server to see it. That's just asking for people to abuse it. Middle of a match & someone decides to play a replay? It'll become the new rage quit -> rejoin.
ATM we have a replay storage thingy on the site. *points at the replay option on the menu bar*
Thing is it's on the forum & not ingame.
An easier & probably better solution would be to add support for that ingame. Add the option to upload a replay to that from ingame & add a browser (with search filters) so people can "play" them from that.
Make more sense?

There could be dedicated "theater" servers, where you don't play, you just queue replays of yours to be seen. That way, not 1 person is controlling, and we could keep replays off other servers.
