Already did that. 777 on all the files. Uploaded to server as ASCII, as Binary, and nothing.

[EDIT: ah, usergroups... OK, i'll give it a try]

Instaling 1.4 and testing on Monday Will provide a live link once tested.

where the heck are the brackets?

[glorify]

Well, I pretty much finished the style I was looking for. More of a threaded look with a collapsible tourney info box at the top. Finalize, edit, and delete buttons all appear at appropriate times.

The last thing to wait on is post order by last post, and an option to have an indefinite number of players, or be able to start the tourney whenever. As soon as i get that nailed down, I can go live. Also still getting the sql error when trying to go to 1.4b. I also have a question. Do the comments paginate or do they just go on and on? Haven't screwed with it.

bananalive, great mod. If yer interested in my templates, lemme know. I'd release them, but they are pretty messy lol.

Edit Template tmnt_postbit
Add at the beginning (replace X,Y,Z with forumids)

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(X,Y,Z))">

Add at bottom

</if>
