That's weird, I only ran across it when I upgraded to 2.8.1....


When I try to use the Admin/Mod ability to schedule a match between two people, It just refreshes (after I choose which teams) and does nothing.


Also, sidenote... two users accidently reported a ladder match score wrong... anyway to delete it or edit it?

any word on development with double elimination tournaments or league format?

btw the option to include screenshots when reporting has been added, thats great. however it is only for a link to a screenshot, could this be improved to upload an attachment? also, what about a dispute system?

some of the other features i suggested were
-twl style ranting/predicting before matches (vote whos going to win and talk trash in an individual match comment area)
-free agents for single players who would like to sign up on team ladders but don't have any team.

Great little mod love the new additions

I recently updated to the new version, however stats in postbit no longer show. I have selected "yes" in the options. I did a search and found nothing.

Anyone else have this problem or a solution?

thanks

No, this doesn't seem to be working for me either. I am running the 2.8.1 BETA

also, i'm unsure why but the uploading of team images (logos) is not working for me. where do these files get stores? could it possibly be a permissions issue? ive made sure the height/width restriction are fixed properly but it just shows up as blank after editing the team information....

also, tournaments. it seems administrators simply are able to advance tournament winners but is it possible for the players themselves to report their win similarly to the ladder style. do admins always have to administrate tournaments by manually proceeding the winners without the competitors themselves reporting the win?

i was also thinking, how about a method of showing the latest reported matches or upcoming matches, or latest completed tournament results on forumhome. or fed as xml/rss so we can place them where we want, or others can subscribe to them.

I haven't done anything to do with either of those.

players can report matches, referee (tournament moderator) can see screenshots, scores and who reported match

Have you chmod teamlogos directory 777?

No just tournament moderators and tournament creator can.

No, it's possible to change score as it nots possible to work backwards with elo ratings

Thanks for the quick update and fix! I downloaded and updated, except now I get 404 page errors on tournament links.

I guess it's not my day.
