Found a small bug.

When i goto a ladder through the different catergories I get this

http://www.play2compete.com/forums/l...p?do=view&id=7

where the Rules link displayed correctly

but if I click ladder list i get this

http://www.play2compete.com/forums/ladders.php

where the Rules link displays as text instead of a link

Any ideas how to fix this?

There was a bug with the category description, displaying a ladder description instead (fixed in next version).

All links (and all other bb code) gets removed from ladders description on ladders list so that it stays tidy.

[bananalive]

In next version (beta released tomorrow) new challenges will have date/time field, which links into timezones.

Team profile pages will have a new tab for upcoming challenges.

A new limit on challenging same player in same ladder is being introduced. Setting controlled in admincp options.

You can also change how ladders are ranked in admincp options.

For tournaments losing player can now report their lose, progressing their opponent to next round. (Single elimination tournaments only)

There will also some other minor changes/fixes.

Sounds great. Keep up the amazing work.

Not sure what causing that. Hopefully it will be fixed from changing link format.
