LMAO!

I had eliteladders and i can tell you, its a complete an utter waste of money - total shite!.

This MOD is far better than that crap I can tell ya!

[mozik]

Yea, This mod is much better then any ladder system on the net.

[Gleedo]

In the vbOptions for this mod, it says:
'Number of Latest Tournaments' to display on the front page.'

Now, when set to 'yes' - should that display something on the homepage when using vbAdvanced or is it for something else?

I do have the usergroup setup to all 'yes', but cant see anything on my homepage

Sorry for being dense.

[edytwinky]

Any word on if double elimination brackets will be added?

This should be a number.
It controls how many tournaments are displayed at competitions.php

I'm in the middle of adding support for up to 512 single elimination tournaments but my server where I am doing the work has been down for 2/3 days After I've done this I'll start work on a double elimination script.

Just spotted a formatting error when you view the ladders list.

The text formatting gets displayed/cut off - ([Color= etc):

cheers, I'll fix this in next release

[Kimberley]

sorry for my dumb question but I just installed and have set it to create thread.. I put in 252 as in the url it said f=252 so I assume that is the number I put in...

I created a tournament to test but no thread was created. can someone please tell me what im doing wrong

Edited: I don't think this is what I was looking for as I looked at screenshots and that just confused me more being a nooba :S

I was wanting the arcade tournaments to make an auto thread when one was created.

Can someone point me to the right place please. Sorry for the inconvenience and mishap post
