Anyone know of a fix?

Can i have some more details please?

Do you get the page to enter the details of the tournament?

Or when you try and submit form to create tournament, is that when you get blank page?

After creating a new Ladder I added two member's names for testing purposes but am unable to remove either of them now.


When I attempt to remove a player I receive the following error:

Click the link again and then can you paste the url of error page here please?

I've compiled v4.1.7, can you both give it test and see if it fixes your bugs?

v4.1.7 fixed my bug thank you very much . I was successfully able to remove my test player from the ladder.

[InfoAddict]

That seems to have fixed my issue. Is it normal for all players to be listed as # "1=" though? As seen here: http://gamers-underground.com/tourna...p?do=view&id=1

Yes, until you enter any scores, all players will be 1st equal.

[InfoAddict]

Thanks for the info. Is there some documentation available that stipulates the default rules for the ladder? Eg. is there a certain limit above you that you can challenge (either in place or points total) etc?

Also, as you can see on your ladder on my website, the Announcement: ticker text is too dark. How would I go about applying a different style to this?

Cheers!
