I am trying to install this on another server and it keeps forcing the navbar buttons to the Right side of the fourms got any ideas how I can get the Tabs back on the left side of the navbar

[vash911]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to advance someone in the tournament. I hover over there name and nothing happens, other than there avatar picture gets a bit larger. Other than that everything seems to be running just fine.

Can anyone help?

[FireflyP2C]

Has Bananalive dissappeared off the face of the planet?

[ProFifaLeagues]

Think he did say a little while back hes gonna be extra busy with his workload for a while mate!

Can't wait to see his next update though as he always gives us a great mod to use and with the extras that have been mentioned it would be the best ever!!!!!

[FireflyP2C]

Definately. I love this script. Can't wait to se what we get next with it.

Any way to update this mod with League option?

[en4cer]

this mod is looking better and better since the last time i remember looking at it. i see that there's been talks of things to expect in the next version, but is there a full list somewhere with all the things planned?

seems like this has a lot of potential but a few key things still seem to be missing...are there any plans for the following to be added?:

1. detailed match reports, including maps played, result screenshots, match comments, for example something like this: http://roladder.net/index.php?sub=la...l&game_id=3850
2. more detailed team profiles/statistics including complete match history (click on a team profile in the link i sent for examples)
3. full match records database
4. rung ladders
5. ability to run individual ladders each using a different for of ranking

thanks and keep up the good work!

Maybe for a future update to the ladders you could allow for a ladder to be closed so that new teams cannot join, but the teams already in the ladder can still play. Would be helpful for leagues and playoffs.
