Works great for me, was a very simple install and all the features have worked well on my site. After installing it all I had to do was configure it a little in vboptions(you can enable or disable navbar link there I think), and you definitely have to set permissions for every usergroup. Unless a mod is interfering with it I don't know where your problems are coming from.

I have about 7 major add-ons on gamescrim.com, but I definitely found one or two that were either poorly coded or just interfered with my main mods and I had to disable them.

[floggerss]

I have a problem, the thread tah is automatically created shows a bit of the template code

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: tmnt_threadtemplate -->
Prueba

No Players: 4
Type: LMS

Description:
Hola probando probando
View all Tournaments Here

<!-- END TEMPLATE: tmnt_threadtemplate -->

Other thing i want to know where is the code in the postbit template to add some color.

[floggerss]

Other question whats the difference between LADDER and TEAM?

[floggerss]

None?¿

[rizvihot]

does it incorporate with voting/poll thread, so if a contender won the vote then she can move to next ladder? e.g photo battle

[Neomega]

A. A ladder is a competition, i.e. you have 10 teams let's say, if team at the number 2 'rung' on the ladder beats the team at the number 1 'rung', then the team moves up a notch and becomes 'king of the ladder' until someone beats them to knock them back down. You could also call this king of the hill, the object is to win your way to the top and defend your top spot as long as you can.

A. I don't think it incorporates the voting/poll, it's pretty much it's own system.

This is a great league/ladder mod, and thanks again for making it BananaLive. I know you're busy with other mods and other things, and I know you've been asked this a lot probably but here goes:

Do you plan on updating this for vbulletin 4 when it is released?
