Userid has to be number (not zero) and username is text string

Sorry to keep replying but I really love this mod..
Another suggestion that should be really easy yet really helpful..

Tournament Creators can "PM ALL" Participants.. to either let them know its starting.. let them know who won.. next round... last minute changes etc.

Whatddya think?!

[mlthmp]

I am just amazed at how quickly this mod if progressing!

Installed 1.8.

Few more suggestions.
1st, Might it be possible for the tournament winner to be shown in another color? Maybe the player or team that wins be shown in red, etc?
2nd, I still really think a space between "pairings" on the administrative side of the event would be helpful.. to minimize confusion. (For the first round)
3rd, Ability to show in user profiles Tournaments won.

Keeps getting better and better

Looks GREAT banana. Excellent work. Voted MOTM, btw. Anyone running a live demo of default 1.8?

If I install 1.8, will it overwrite old custom templates? Will it keep current tourneys in place? I know I'll have to edit the old ones to match the new features.

Yes it keeps current tourneys in place.

Yes it overwrites templates (I think.. I always say allow overwrite)..

Yikes. I'll back up. Didn't see any images with the dload package you spoke of. Any screen?

[Reinhart]

Heres what the icons look like for anyone interested.

[glorify]

Nice--don't see the icons or cannedreplies.xml in the dload package

I think the readme for the xml to import has the wrong name.
