Exactly this....

Members joining the site could see it if there are challenges then at a glance on the side of the forums which would entice members to make challenges

Top pic is admin looking at the Ladder they are able to Insert a ladder challenge which then shows up Fine.
The lower screen is a member who can not see that Button to insert a challenge at all.

Tell your guy to click find match then on the right (not obvious) it says create match... I use a nav button mod to make a separate menu to link straight to create a challenge....

Look ...


Or it could be the permissions for that group, can see ladder, can create challenge blaaah ...
