I am now looking into the possibility of hosting a ladder on my site, and the {steamicon} addition would be just as useful to my members on the ladder/league rankings table. I think the icon would fit well right after the player's name on the enlarged info screen that appears on mouseover.

My current worshiping of your greatness will become full-blown deification if this option can be added. Thanks again for the superb mod.

[edit]One more thing, in the ladders and leagues, there's a way to display Recent Matches, but is there a way to show all matches played by each player? If so, how? If not, it would be nice if on each person's stat page there was a link that showed all their scores from that particular ladder or season.

At the moment it just mixes the players/teams up and places them in at random

I want to be able to put players/teams in to what division i want
Also the ability to swap players/teams mid season and for the new team to keep the same points
Or
Remove players/teams and the results from those games automatically removed

Hope someone understands what i mean

I really want the league feature more than anything else,lol

Cheers in advance

Available in v4.4.4 (yet to be released)

So when you start the league you can manually choose player/team groups or let them be placed automatically.

It makes the ladder page look like it has errors. lol

Once it is in the sig area or somewhere else is there any way to edit that font.?
also to remove the avatar.?

The font cant be chosen/changed atm, option to hide avatar will be included in v4.4.4+
