Website for Global Rankings

[yeldar2097]

i swear we decided amongst ourselves (correct me if i'm wrong) that those times would be changed anyway (in the chatbox on connavar's site...). I'm pretty sure we came to an agreement on it.

Moa Reverse - Venom - Multiplayer --- Definately something fishy going on there.

[Connavar]

Yeah we can delete the times, here's an idea if we want to do it automatically:
- for each mode/track/class combination, we should decide on a limit that can't
be reached, for instance if we could say 21 seconds on SL/moaR/phantom ...

Also I've improved the website a lot yesterday (should be up tonight):
- Fury layout is closer to the real one, much more readable,
in fact it's the layout I'm using now!
- Column sorting is back
- Tables show your own personal ranking with the option to jump to your page,
whenever you're not visible in them
- Back/Forward button (Saturn's request)
- Comments improved
- Matrix has been debugged, and some modes removed: Eliminator, Zone Battle

Don't forget you can filter rankings by country (click on a flag) and by ship!

Would like to say I had corrected my 2 times on the website before, like I had said to pirha long time ago even if I dont agree with the "hardly reproducible" argument that doesnt prove sthing should be banned... dont mistake, I agree these shortcuts were an error from SL though!

- Column sorting is back
- Back/Forward button (Saturn's request)

Thanks so much Connavar. I really missed those two features.

[superpj1]

thanks conna btw is it the only changes you made or are there minor changes/bugfixes you didn't mention ?

[SaturnReturn]

OMG! I only just noticed how the icons at the top change with track, speed class and game mode. That's soooo cool.

[Connavar]

Yeah thanks
We couldn't see before because the comments were in another frame...

superpj1: I added a chatbox that I made in 30 minutes ...
(I already have a much better version locally).
Can you try it just to see if it works ok?

i hate 2 b a pain in the ass but this flag thing is still givin me trouble. i can log in no problem as allready have an account but when i edit my country/flag theres no confirm button and anything i click on from there logs me out. am i missing something?

[Connavar]

It's strange indeed, I just set your flag to "ENGLAND", do you prefer "UK"?

same here....

[shapealot]

englands good for me. thanx connavar

[superpj1]

i can log in no problem (...) but anything i click on logs me out.

same problem here. in fact I'm still "logged in" because when I watch the record tables, my name is highlighted. but the problem is that the site thinks I'm logged out (my name doesn't appear on top).

better with a screenshot :

First of all great job Conna, super fast, well optimized, you're a pro!
The new Fury layout is very good for on screen reading but please maintain the hd layout for printing.

However from my point of view some little adjustments needed.

- In track sorting, to avoid mistakes in entering times, would be better to have the exact order the game record table has. Ok until Sol(R), then Talon's Junction/Talon's Junction (R)/The Amphiseum/The Amphiseum (R)/Modesto Heights/Modesto Heights (R)/Tech De Ra/Tech De Ra (R).

- Flag filtering still a little buggy, try for example TIME TRIAL/Talon's Junction/Venom//ALL clicking my italian flag: RECORDS undefined unde PAGE/(RESULTS), or TIME TRIAL/Vineta K/Venom//ALL clicking il_Nik flag: only the assoartu64 record.

Finally a question, what means the matrix date option?

[Connavar]

superpj1: don't use internet explorer! Even when it works, it's super slow at
executing Javascript code. Go with Safari/Chrome/Firefox.

[Lance]

What about Opera?

[Connavar]

Ok Lance, I just installed Opera to test ... and I fixed IE compatibility issues,
so here are the results:

- Firefox:
- 100% functional
- fast

- Safari (and probably Chrome):
- 100% functional
- even faster!

- Internet Explorer 7:
- images are not displayed correctly
- layout is not exactly the one I wanted
- slow

- Opera 9.6:
- everything works fine except the filters having subsections, I'll work on it
- fast

I'll send a new version with bug fixes to chboing, then we'll see when it's up,
might take a week...

[Lance]

Thanks for the test. I dislike 9.6 and prefer to use anything up to 9.2x or to jump to 10.0.

[Connavar]

Wow apparently it was an Opera related bug, when using optgroup, so I was
kinda stuck, then downloaded Opera 10.0 and ... miracle ... bug is gone!!

So yeah the website is 100% operational with Opera 10.0 onwards.

[Lance]

Cool. The Opera 9.5 and derivative 9.6 were intentionally intermediate builds [codenamed Kestrel] between the earlier series and the intended new 'Peregrine' series being released as 10.0, which is much better than 9.5/6, which is the one series of Opera that I've never adopted as my standard browser.

[SaturnReturn]

Pirahpac just pointed out to me that the official records tables show I have a 1.36.67 on Ubermall Reverse Phantom TT. This isn't true. So please don't update this time on the site as it will mess things up. My best is still 1.41.22.

I have no idea how this one has come about as I haven't even touched that track on time trial mode in 3 weeks, as far as I remember.

Just thought I'd let everyone know to prevent more 'WTF?!' moments.
