I'm not serious about the title.
Happy New Year's you guys! I'm sure there's a lot of resolutions to become better battlers. =P
Anyway, I don't have much to say for this month. It's really nice seeing tournaments getting over 8 entrants, which is really nice for a small community about a game turning a decade and a half in couple months. We haven't had any new breakout players lately though, but I have a hunch a certain someone will soon. Also congrats to WaterWizard for finally not sucking at tournaments.
Currently, Harrison and I are doing some small coding and stuff for the site, so far we've done:
-Added Spoilers
-Removed the Sticky/Lock Icon column
-Changed some of the coding so it should be a bit faster, but too insignificant for anyone to really notice.
And we'll be adding eventually:
-Sticky/Lock/Announcement prefixes to topics.
-Whatever else might be cool.
Currently, you can't differentiate which topics are Stickied, Locked, etc, but it shouldn't matter too much. If we're too slow and it annoys anyone, we can temporarily put the icons for them back up. I like efficiency, user-friendliness and simplicity, so we're reducing unnecessary crap.
For those that don't know how Spoilers work, it's really quite simple. You just highlight your text and click this
, and your text will be spoilered so it'll look like this:
This is common on most forums/boards, but apparently it wasn't here so we added it. It's nice if you want to hide images (so you don't lag everyone to death and give us never-ending scroll bars), or if you just want to hide some text from people that don't want to be spoiled, etc.
One last thing, for January we're currently running a BL tournament, and February will likely be Single-Elimination UU. I'm saving the next OU tournament for March as a sort of anniversary tournament as we turn 1 year old. It'll be full out Pools, Seeded Double-Elimination and hopefully we get all of the big names for a massive tournament. Should be fun, and if we need to, we'll cancel April. =)
Have a good 2011 you guys!
EDIT: We pseudo-added the prefixes, by replacing the old images, but it's a bit stretched and looks bad in places with little to no Stickies/Locks. Again, we might just go back to the original images for those, but it'd be nice to get the prefixes working properly.
EDIT 2: Went back with the old style since it wasn't working properly for everyone. It doesn't really matter, but I like doing small projects like these. :3
