How to add the server browser to your in-game menu
Here are the instructions. Got this from Bfunk, thanks.
1) In the Explorer go to <steam install path>\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\resource\UI\L4D360UI
2) Open up the file "MainMenu.res" in notepad
3) Before the final } add the following text (just copy and paste the code below)
Code:
// Server Browser
"BtnOpenServer"

I can confirm this works and is easy and useful,
I have added all the TG servers by using IP addresses and this is now my preferred method for getting into games,
It feels like I am in control again, I can
> see all the TG servers
> see which servers have people and who they are
> see what game mode and campaign/map
> join by double clicking
> also in friends tab I can see what servers my friends are on and join games on them
