Is there a way to change the color of the brackets?
My forum is of dark colors, so the brackets can't be seen and I would like to change them from the black color to white or something like that.

[dotatalk]

I didn't read through all posts and dunno if somone already posted this suggestion but it would be nice to have simple betting system, just to keep forum members interested. Like they have 50 points and they are betting on games with points. If their credit is empty they can just restart points.

Anyway, with or w/o this suggestion i think i'm going to buy pro version. It's great mod.

Or


AdminCP -> Competition Settings -> Ladder Settings -> Bracket Colors

Nope, but the number of tournaments/ladders/etc. should display on right hand side of category.

If you have no uncategorised tournaments/ladders/leagues, then it should only display categories.

	{vb:raw template_hook.tmntlist_right}

What vbulletin version you using? Does it display fine if you save anyway?

Also, if you check 'allow reserves' and the tournament isn't full, it will block new sign ups even though the tournament was 32 of 64.

Fixed for next version.

Or manual fix

Find line 5048 of tournaments.php

PHP Code:

if ($showcomps && $tmnt['allowreserves']) 


Replace with

PHP Code:

if ($showcomps && $tmnt['allowreserves'] && $tmnt['freeslots']==0)

didn't receive an email. If it were the email on my vb.org profile, it was incorrect. The one there now is correct.
