Sidebar does not collapse. Is there an issue, and please let me know, thank you.

[Gamelobby]

Is there a manual that goes with this to know what everything does.?
Like differences between leagues, ladders, tourneys, race mode, groups, seasons, etc.. If you have n't used this all along, it is pretty confusing to start. lol

[Gamelobby]

Also i have a small issue.. the 1st banner in rotation is centered, while the rest are all left justified.?
Any idea why, & is this something i can change easily.?

Still love to get my head around this mod & that manual.
Thanks

The best way is just to have a little play around creating things.

Also where might i be able to adjust the width of the columns.? (not front page)
In a category i have ladders, tournaments & leagues all listed, but the tournaments (listed first) is about 500px wide, then next is ladders & only about 200px wide, then 3rd is leagues & only about 400px wide.!?


Also & not sure if related or not, but the title of the 1st ladder get wrapped even tho it is the shortest title it goes onto a 2nd line.!?


Thanks, this looking so much better than in the past.!! :up:
