Great thanks.

Noticed this as well.. Looks, very un-organised and messy... possible to review the layout?

Thanks you very much!

Since the latest 5.8.8 update the previous tournament bracket update has changed and no longer shows like it did for 5.3.3 showing the W or L or the scores of the matches. Can this be corrected to once again show the scores and W & L like in 5.3.3 update. That was so nice, and now it looks so bland.

I have also noticed the ladder bracket colors have changed to black. I went into ladder settings and changed to #FFFFFF which is white, and they will not change from black. Can you please check into this. I have deleted cache and cookies to see if browser was stuck and still they are black in color.

Email'ed you again, hopefully you will get it this time!

Just to verify you saw.

The tournament list still shows the tournament as in progress instead of awaiting, since it's not accepting reserves until the date.

And the sign up as reserve button should be at the top of the tournament page where the join tournament is, making it easier to see.

Implemented both for next version.

I wanted the same here and tried it

As soon as i clicked to save i got :


vBulletin Message
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.


BUT it shows correctly after saving

This is using the latest version of the mod and v4.2 forums
