[Strafe]

Just want you to know that you're doing a great job and don't let the bugs keep you down Keep up the good work!!! I'm checking the thread multiple times daily for new releases

Btw if you can add avatar image for teams it would be awesome!

[Kaelon]

Great job with these updates. I noticed that you started adding version notes for 2.3.9 -- any chance that will be coming out soon?

Yeah i am getting the same error when i try and create a team

Also some requests/segestions for you next version

When you goto the tournament page at the top you have tournaments
maybe you could add next to tournaments, Teams | Create a Team | join a Team so it would be like this at the top: Tournaments | Teams | Create Team | Join Team

Its just that at first i found it hard to find where to create a team and this will make it easyer for new people to the site

installed, but when i tyr join to Tournament script said me "You are not Leader of any team so you cannot join this tournament. Click here to go back to the tournament.".

All Permissions is done.

*agrees with Firewarrior's suggestion*

When making a tournament thread, the original post adds a bunch of slashes to the bb code."

[COLOR=\"Plum\"][SIZE=\"7\"]see[/size][/color]
[SIZE=\"5\"][COLOR=\"DarkGreen\"]see[/color][/size]

Another error, this ones pretty big:

I hosted a 32 person tournament, and one of the people advanced to the bracket BELOW them. Like person #2 advanced to the bracket that should be the winner of Person #3, and Person #4. I can't regress him, and I can't advance either of the people that are REALLY supposed to be in that bracket, resulting in the tournament being broken and unable to finish.

edit: I was finally able to regress him and get things back on track, but now there's another problem. In the final round of the tourney, iI had my username and another's in the finals. I kept trying to progress my name to the winner bracket, but whenever the page reloaded, it would remain the same. Another member was able to do it for me for some reason, to the other member.

Sorry about the error with creating new teams. I deleted a part of the code when i was adding permissions to limit number of teams created per user. Fixed in next release (hopefully out in few hours )

Are you trying to enter a team tournament? If you are you need to be team leader to enter a team into a tournament.

Fixed tournament thread issue.

There was error with the javscript which prevented one of the players in round 5 winning - fixed it now.

Question regarding Custom Score Type for LMS Tournaments: For the LMS Tourney, ex. A Race determine by best lap time.

Is there a way to set winner to be the person with the fastest time (including decimals and colons) instead of showing the winner who has the highest number?

Not sure if this has already been asked. Thanks for the great hack!

Has there been an update regarding the above quote? Thanks! :up:
