right I think something like active = Y and if we remove him active = N then if the user wants to join again on a later time by him clicking join will activate the account.

Of course he wouldn't start from scratch he would just resume wherever he left off when he was deactivated.

Awesome Bananalive. I'm off to install it now. Thanks for the great mod!

[gorentals]

Ok everything looks good. Except the brackets are broken up. If someone hasn't won there match yet, it doesn't show a box and looks kinda funny.

[gamerscms]

Tournament mod working perfect, thanks for the new update.

I just installed the newest version. I haven't gotten around to testing it yet, but I noticed an error in the style. The one in the top bar is on every page, and the one on the right is for ladder pages only:

Suggestions/Feedback:
- To be able to change the amount of tournaments/ladders to be shown under the 'Recent ___" listings on the main page.
- Ability to swap players position in a tournament.
- Ability to edit ranks for a team from Member - Leader
- I think the elo needs to be tweaked a little. The losing person shouldn't lose the same amount of points as the winning person gains.
- Just me being picky, but I think the ladder stat list should be displayed "wins, losses, draws, streak", rather than the current "streak, wins, draws, losses".

Also, again, everyone remember to vote this for MOTM!:

I've added some spaces to make it display better

It should only do that if two players have same rank, otherwise it works out the probability of win.

[P.Jackson]

Also i think the ability to have a image of the game the ladder or tournament is in the decription would be great!

I just updated to the newest version.

I am still having one of the same issues Chris11987 was having. I still have a "gap area" between the Announcements and Tournaments links when viewing tournament.php

I'm just about to released v2.5.7 which includes the fix.

[JAnders]

is the new version going to have the option to include user custom fields?

they really want the gamertag and the msn of the participants displayed
