A lot of sites have different game modes/types or cater for xbox or ps3 but the teams are all lumped together is it possible the teams section could be in categories so that if you're a ps3 gamer you can click ps3 teams or indeed if you're an xbox user, there is quite a range of things that categories could be used for, football categories fps categories etc etc.

v5.0.7: you can add custom team profile fields, which you could use for team categories or however you want

• single line text
• multiple line text
• Dropdown select
• Checkboxes

Hey Banana.

I have a request which has been asked many times already. Can you please make it so the double-elimination format could have more than 8 players?

I run a fighting game forum and the only respectable format in fighting game tournaments is double-elimination, and 8 is too low. I'd really appreciate if you could do that.

Thanks man! It's an awesome mod.

I cant see the dev updating an old version of vbulletin instead he can focus on adding features into the current version.
