Hey guys, I just got back from Christmas break. I checked, and all my times viewer/matchups stuff was working fine. Did it break a few days ago and how did you fix it? lol. I'll work on adding the total times to the matchups program. It shouldn't be that hard to do. Having a "last weeks rank" is always a good idea. I can incorporate that into my PR:SR thingy I reckon with a bit of work since I'm keeping backups of the database updates.

Right, total times should now be working on the matchups page.

What new feature?  

I think a Grand Prix record section would be cool...I know that obviously a lot of luck would be involved but everyone has the same opportunity to get that luck so it would be fair. Plus skill would be involved also...and it would be a cool way for people to play Grand Prix more, something which most of you probably never do now. Maybe nobody agrees with me, but personally I think it would be a neat addition.

[secret plan to get my WRs back]Alex, I think only you should start playing Mario GP, it would be much more fun than that stupid time trials mode.[/secret plan to get my WRs back]

but a top 100 can also be a motivation to play a track more and more to eventually get into it. A friend of mine is also playing now and the only thing that keeps him playing a certain track is that because he gets into top 100!

Yeah, leave it at Top 100's...more motivation to play for the lower ranked players. I remember about 2 weeks ago trying to get some of my times under 100th....next update I'll be ranked around the 32nd mark in Average Finish  

Yeah, I had a question.... when are the lists going to be updated next?? not to be selfish or demanding or anything, but i just signed up as a new member recently (like right after the last update), and i kinda wanna see where i stand in terms of everybody else......

I was thinking that maybe it would be nice to have a nation's ranking.  I'd like to figure out where I stand in the Canadian karters

Great work guys, keep it up!

Yeah, I know it's hard work, but I never said it should be an immediate thing, just something to think about for the future , I think it would be cool to have that though  

Daniel its already been done,Mark couldnt get in touch with ya so i did it,and have just finished it,there was about 250 posts to do.

we should make a roster, depending on how long Alex' program is coming...

I thinkIf you dont get this updating issue sorted out quickly most of the membershiop outside of the top 20 places will lose interest in posting their new times on your site,these are the players with most improvement in their times and they like to see how they are doing on a regular basis and they are not getting this at the moment. I know it is probably know ones fault directly but I tkink you need to sort this out very quickly.I don't want to be flamed for this I know everybody works hard but it does need to be addressed

E.T.R.

It's not so much design we are working on it's functionality. Basically we're moving away from a semi-manually updated database. Alex Penev has been working really hard on PERL/SQL solution and already has a semi-working page. It's just a matter of moving his database onto our servers and working out a few minor bugs. Expect changes very soon!
