Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

Care to elaborate? I'm looking the the gxboxlive options (I only have General available) and there is nothing about the navbar or tabs.

Thanks a ton! I knew it was something simple/stupid.

is it possible to use this leaderboard with other things? Like I run a sports website and would love to use it for teams my users have.

Works on 4.1.2. Except it is showing the avatars as broken images. Is this just a problem with mygamercard or with 4.1.2?

Mine only seem to show broken images for any new members adding themselves to the leaderboard.

I don't know if it's anything to do with Xbox themselves but i've been noticing a lot of problems with Xbox Live recently. For example : http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live when you login it's meant to have your avatar in the top right with your gamer score etc. Now it just stays on "Loading" with the sign out button underneath. I've been noticing little things like that increase over the past few weeks.

I've tested xbox.com/en-US/live on multiple PC's and proxy sites, all load up the avatar and info fine once signed in. More than likely an issue with your machine. Try clearing your browser cache and flushing your dns cache as well.

Ah well I just noticed it works fine in IE but not in FireFox since updating to the latest version. Ah well no biggie. At least this MOD still works. :up:

That is such a BACKWARDS statement, lol. IE > FF, wow.

I'm sure Microsoft will fix that soon enough. Obviously it'd work in IE.

Got separate issues with some users not even being in the XBL list any more, which is odd since they are still active and the field is still set. Investigating...
