Just noticed in a tournament bracket that on long usernames, the Regress Player option is hidden. It's not a problem right now as I don't need to regress the particular user, however it obviously could be an issue in the future. In the attached image, notice user xGRIDIRONxGURUx towards the bottom.

As well, just simply for a seamless look, it'd be nice to see the Regress Player image appear in front of the player's username and be the mirror image of the Advance Player. That's obviously just a personal aesthetic note but thought I'd mention it.

This can be fixed by increasing the Tournament Bracket Width setting. Keep making the size larger until it is long enough to fit both the longest name and the buttons.

Thanks for the info!

Have an issue.

While using the Ladder System:
It is supposed to number the players.
Example:
1. jason
2. Jander
3. fred

For some reason it looks like this

1. Jason
1= Jander
1= Fred

A link to show it can be seen here:
http://www.gd-gaming.com/ladders.php?do=view&id=3

could use a fix for this.

NVM figured that out!

After finishing a tournament, it doesn't seem to be adding wins/losses to the ladder? Do I have to do it manually?

Hi!

After upgrading to 4.4.7 the system is not showing the brackets!

Just a blank space. I noticed that the code is in the document, but the browser is not showing them.

I tried reverting to 4.4.3 but was useless. hat solution do you think can I use?


Example here:

Greetings.

Your container css has float: right property

Simple solution:

Import attached file to includes/ folder in your forum directory (allow overwrite)

When linked to a ladder, tournament winner(s) can be given some experience or elo rating points.

Thank you for your answer. It worked!

Another issue I forgot to mention. Before the update, the auto complete function adding players to tournaments was working, but now it does not work. Do you have idea why it could be?

Greetings.
