The image shouldn't be displaying on the ladders page.

Ahhh.. that is very cool, but it still shifts the page a ton, is there a way to disable it or have it show up somewhere else.?
It makes the ladder page look like it has errors. lol

Once it is in the sig area or somewhere else is there any way to edit that font.?
also to remove the avatar.?

Without going through all the posts can someone explain to me in the league section how would you go about adding the players/teams to a division

At the moment it just mixes the players/teams up and places them in at random

I want to be able to put players/teams in to what division i want
Also the ability to swap players/teams mid season and for the new team to keep the same points
Or
Remove players/teams and the results from those games automatically removed

Hope someone understands what i mean

I really want the league feature more than anything else,lol

Cheers in advance

Hi,

Getting this error when trying to challenge any team in the same ladder as me

Error. This team isn't in this ladder

This happens with every team in the ladder

Am i doing something stupid?

[generalclev]

please ignore, it is working now

Another request if possible mate.

Is it possible to have the comments on each game submitted at the page where the scores are submitted and accepted? So basically put the result in then either add screenshot and also comment on the game?

Cheers

Adding a comments area below the screen shot would be cool, but not sure where it would show up.?

Ran into an issue i cannot figure out.....
My admin group and groups i gave permission have lost access to any of the competition options
as far as new groups/competitions/ ect.... nothing new can be posted right now....

can you point me in the right direction on possible ways to fix this?
in the usergroups all permissions are set to yes
