Thank you

[King Fly]

that fixed it thanks

only thing on the new one i dont like is it puts the users avy over writting when you go to see expand ladder stats

here are some features i would love to see to the ladder part
1. admin being able to submit scores in ladder.
2a. auto thread creation upon challenge acception
2b. the option to have that thread have a poll and be able to set that poll to a winning number [ i use this for rap battles so say when the poll hit 3-0 or 5-w/e it would close]
2c. upon closing maybe have it set to take the poll results as the score the players need to submit, thus eliminaton the need to have players submit the score...especially the ones who lost since i find they seem to not want to input their score
3. ELO ranking in postbit with actual rank number

thats all i can think of for now....let me know if you think you could incorparate this

thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the excellent work . As a request, I'd like to have the ability to add attachments/images on score submission, if that's possible. Thanks.

Ok our members want this feature (we need it bad ):


The ability to prevent certain tourney stats to be added in Hall of Fame! We usually organize open (public) tournaments for every forum members, but now we have organized few "closed" (private) clan tournaments for certain people only. And we want only public tournament stats to be added in Hall of Fame, otherwise it's a bit unfair.

Can this be done easily??

It should look like this
What vBulletin version are you using? and are you using custom style?

[jlew24asu]

will this update work for me yet

[evotion]

I think this makes a good starting point for a video games site before moving over to www.eliteladders.com . Nice work.

I imagine that migration of data wouldnt be too hard either, in both directions.

upload attached file and copy the results of the add tournament here. It will just be series of line numbers so i can work out where the script is going wrong.

Also revert all tournament and ladder templates.

Is it possible to keep a Player from joining multiple teams on the same ladder?
