Remove that line from product file and try reimporting product

My computer hard-drive has been corrupted (not sure how) unfortunately this means there will be no new releases until I get a new pc or hard drive. The only access to the internet I will have (until my pc is fixed) will be on public computers so support will be limited during this time.

(I will be back online shortly today on public computer to help those who are having problems with upgrades.)

[gamerscms]

Sorry to hear that banana, hope to see you back soon

[MarceloS]

Another suggestion (this is big for me, and I saw other post about that):

Allow us to edit the number of slots. If I have a tournament with 100 slots, will I have to click "+" 99 times?

By the way, nominated and installed, of course.

Just marked as uninstalled. I had the first version going ok, then tried to update it and now have nothing but mysql errors. IF this product gets to the point where it dont mess with the rest of the board functions, I might reinstall it.

Till then, Im stuck with a half uninstalled script that generates database errors. Thanks

BananaLive,

Post your Paypal Email. I think on behalf on everyone on this thread, i think we can all chip in here and buy you a new harddrive/parts you need if we all donated to you for your support, fast response times, and updates.

I think that is fair and everyone here should agree.

I'm donating the first 10$ towards this. please PM/Post your paypal email for donation.

Hello, firstly great mod, im loving it

I do have a minor problem, but i dont know if its something i should post here...

When i view the ladder challenges page, its renders nicely under one template (dark one), but not under the green one. The text in the column headers dont wrap like in the dark one.

Any ideas how i should go about fixing this? Be warned, i am a total noob as of today in vBulletin land:

Dark Template


Bad one

[bananalive]

Update: I've got my PC working again (with new hard drive). Unfortunately I've lost all my data, including some of the new features for this modification I've been working on. There wont be any new releases until my pc is back functioning how i like it with all the proghrams installed.

What exactly is this for though? I mean can we have a tournament set so it tries to boost activity around the forums? Something such as "Tournament for whoever can get the most meaningful posts within one month"? Something like that? If possible, That would be awesome...I just want to know a little about it before I install it.
