Implemented order by round challenges for next version.

Getting a response reply from the email on premium purchase has taken way to long. Not very good for purchasing a script to receive no reply to email help needed. I sent an email along with multiple screenshots for assistance and no one has answered my need for help. I am not trying to throw anyone under a bus but when there are issues after buying the pro, and the website says if help needed to email them, and no answer comes I get upset and feel that people want to just make money but have no time to assist. You registered to my website bananalive and maybe I can get some help at www.elitebattlezone.com.

Suggestions for improvements:

1. Have the ability to add a background image to player created cards.
2. On paid ladders/tournament have ineligible or eligible icons next to team name. Example: Teams need certain amount of members registered and added to team before they are eligible to participate on ladders/tournaments.
3. Incorporate a crown system for the ladders.
4. Incorporate a rating system for teams and participants.
5. When credits are gifted an email should be sent to gifter and giftee stating what has been gifted.
6. When a participant requests to sell credits a pm sent to admin stating the request to be settle request.
7. Additional percentage values added to select menu in admin options.
8. On PayPal Transaction when sell credits has been processed it does not show a name of who received the sell. It only shows user name when someone buys credits. Can this be corrected to also show user name when selling credits are processed.
