Your Forum URL is wrong.

It should be

http://www.yoursite.com/forum

it is currently

http://www.yoursite/forum

which is causing the problem

Yup, that was exactly what was wrong, one of my mods found it out right after I posted this. Thanks alot for the help!

It combines all the fixes, and is the non-beta release of v2.8.1.

It includes:
- deleting categories
- improved elo rating system
and some other things.

Hey banana, I solved my "You can't leave the team" issue, I had to make the templates back to default. Also, here's a suggestion & a question if you don't mind:

1), When a user creates a tournament, will he automatic join the tournament as well? As I could add the person very easily in the tournament list.

2), How come you can add multiple usernames (exactly the same ID) in the tournament list? Is this normal?

3), Suggestion: Possible way to swap players position on the list rather than a rename?

Hi banana,

is it possible to get a looser bracket in a tournament ? That will be the importen thing for adding this mod.

When I created 2 Teams (for testing) I can?t delete any of them. I set all permissions for me as admin.

But the links in the Team Tab now, DELETE TEAM or LEAVE TEAM, they only show links to Javascript when I hover over them.

My Javascript is fully operational and working, I tested that on my occasions. This is what these 2 links show when I hover above them.

• javascript:deleteteam('2');
• javascript:leaveteam('2');

I run btw. the latest Version of vB Tournament.

What do you mean by looser bracket? more padding/ spacing? more css control?
