Really nice system but if the limits are soo small it seems that using an outside bracket system would be better.

They are built in.

Would be cool if that was color coded or broken down by section.

Find in tournaments.php

PHP Code:

if (!in_array($sort, $allsorts))
    {
        $sort = 'id';
    } 


Replace with

PHP Code:

if (!in_array($sort, $allsorts))
    {
        $sort = 'status';
    }

I mean all I want to do is change a few or your images to a different text. In the code below, in the example below I simply type hi before the image tag and it want even save.

I am wondering if your file was imported with an error and there is a new version?

 		<vb:if condition="!$game['flag']"> 
			<a href="ladders.php?do=reportchallenge&amp;id={vb:raw game.id}"> 
  				hi<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/report.gif" border="0" alt="{vb:rawphrase ladder_report_challenge}" /> 
 				<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/report.gif" border="0" alt="{vb:rawphrase ladder_report_challenge}" /> 
 			</a><vb:else /> 
 			<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/redcard.gif" border="0" alt="{vb:rawphrase ladder_reported_challenge}" /> 
 		</vb:if>

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I want to make a few changes to some of the templates.

I think that's the changes you are making, I don't get those errors.
