The current tournaments/ladders are empty, but there are active ladders and tournys in the Starcraft 2 area.

The front page is only meant to show uncategorised tournaments/ ladders. Maybe it would be better to hide the two blocks if they are empty so it doesn't confuse people? Or change the text to 'There are currently no uncategorised ladders. Browse the categories for more ladders.'

That means you have not uploaded and over-written functions_tal.php to directory /includes/

It is my opinion that those fields should show Tournaments and Ladders from ANY Category.

But, short of that, removing them would be fine.

Oops.. I didn't copy recursively!

[Kr33p3r]

Trying to manually add a user that was removed by admin from the ladder, I receive this:

Error. You have already entered this ladder click here to go back to the ladder.

Thoughts?
