And this seems to be the link for that "/ladders.phpleagues.php?do=view&id=16&sh=3"

Also im using a dark theme with red as the main color and the "Your Matches" is in Blue. Where can I change this to red please ?

Thanks in advance..

See above also for bug fix

To change colour, open includes/functions_tll_sidebar.php and find

<div style="padding: 5px; background: #95B9C7;

I have your vB version but would love to see it on Xenforo.

I'm not sure if the demand is there for xenforo. If it is I probably would look into doing a modification for it.

Thanks for the support, I edited ladders.php but still cant accept 4v4 ladder matches:
As soon as I click "Accept Match" I am redirected to this page and the match has not been accepted.

/ladders.php?u2=20&do=acceptmf&id=25&s=&securitytok en=1380715083-47a72a7902a33f2f8cbce829d3ceeb220f29a1a6

[JesterP]

Is there a way to add a tab to the ladders for comments...like the tournaments have?

Thanks!

That should be re-directing to ladder_match.php rather than ladders.php

Fixed in attached file.
