Hi Dom,

Display issue:

Also, when removing a team from a payed comp, can there be an automated refund process for credits?

And; can there be an option to display team credits. Much like the 'Other Users' Credit' option with the ability to give/take credits from teams as well. In addition having the ability to view transaction with the option to refund. (rather than having to use give/take credits).

[Morpheuss89]

I'm really interested in premium version but only if bananalive can confirm that ALL previous bugs (or similars) reported are fixed.

I also got one question, is possibile to have (in automatic) always clean the ladder from inactives players/teams ? like ESL, if u do not play for X time u are automatically kicked from the ladder.

Couple of questions regarding styling guys - lots of pages so I am not sure if it has already been answered.

On a tournament page, for instance, Counterstrike, you have the boxes as follows

CS:GO Tournaments CS:GO Ladders CS:GO Leagues - This looks too squashed as my style is fixed width, as below.


So I'd like them stacked and not side by side. What template and what edit will I need to do to fix this?

I'd like it so instead of being side by side, they were like this.

CS:GO Tournaments
CS:GO Ladders
CS:GO Leagues

Secondly - I want to use the banner rotator, but it's all out of shape as stock. Has anyone fixed the css so it displays correctly on a fixed width template. In my mind, the carosuel should be self-contained within the image properties, but it's bursting out


So I'd like the text and description field entirely contained within the image. Ideally, I'd also like the image to be 980px. I tried fiddling with the .css, but the tags aren't very clear on what you're editing. Has someone already done this, and if so do you mind sharing the .css you customised to achieve it


I'll very much appreciate any assistence.

Shouldn't it also say, accepting players still until the check in time/date listed instead of in progress?

Changed status in next version.

Most users on my site just keep submitting the score over and over again and don't know that they are to dispute the match.

Is their anyway that you can make it so that once both teams have reported the scores and they don't match up, that the match goes to automatic disputed match!? for example, Team A 2-0, Team B 0-2, therefore the match is disputed and not waiting for teams to confirm / submit scores.

Edit: Then once it goes to disputed it will let user know the match has been disputed etc.

Did as you stated, but it returns this. It now displays correctly, but I am a little worried by this message.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3965

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
%1$s
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.
