Perfect!!!! Here goes my final question and I believe I am all set! Love your script and will show our support. We will be upgrading to the paid version in the next month for certain!!! We just wanted to test it out first and see how it handles great activity.

Question: I would like to define a set size for the banner you see above. If you notice the screenshot I shared, I want to make it fit just perfect. Which will allow me to use the area appropriately. Suggestions? It would be best to left align that image area.

So are you trying to resize the banner images?

[Jeromedia603]

What I am thinking in my head: "If I could left align the image to match up with the Uncategorised Tournaments, then I could determine the appropriate pixel width to reach the uncat ladder edge and make it look like a perfect fit. Does that help?

I am not trying to resize the image, rather work in the boundaries that allow my image to be the appropriate width. Or at least that is what I am thinking.

[Gamelobby]

I have a similar issue, but if all the images are the same size.. my only issue is that the 1st image in rotation stays centered, while the rest all go left align.?

The amount of teams that you selected have to be and even "rooted" number as I call it. If you have 12 teams, then you have 6 after round one, then 3 after round two(this is your issue), 1 team has no one to play which results in an error.)

If it was 16,8,4,2,Winner! Then it would be just fine. Hope that helps

Yeah DOH !! lol

Thanks...

Ok i got a small problem again...

I have a singles ladder and when players create a challenge if they do not specifically put the time in a certain way the challenge does not show up correctly, they get no error ect..

But i can see it in all challenges and delete it ect ....

Is that a bug ?
