Improving the website

As you may have noticed, there are 2 new elements in the player profile pages - rank distribution chart and small green/red level rank charts. (Both these ideas come from Ibanez - thanks!)

This is the first of many planned improvements i'm going to implement before releasing BoD v2 (the most important ones are the search facility and Freestyle competition revival)

Stay tuned

AWESOME but im not a bar graph person so can someone explain the rank distrubutions meaning?

in short: bars on the left are "good", bars on the right are "bad"

the graph shows how many of your games are ranked inside a given interval (interval is on the horizontal axis).

for example

mike flips: from the first bar we can see that most of his games are #1 (this is the highest bar) - and the last bar tells us that his lowest rank is #29 (there is only one such game - the bar is low).

i think it would be more useful if the bar represented points instead of rank. or would it be any different?

It's a histogram, Bones.

These are nice features!

FYI, I had to refresh my profile for it to work correctly.

Mr.pickle.

awsome,now I know that most of my times are top 50,second to that are beetween 100 and 150,and then I have a feww games back in the hundreds(these will probly dissapear after I get around to standerd)anyway sz this is awsome!!!!!

Mr.pickle.

Mr.pickle.

Cody

Nice. But I can't find the red and green bars on profiles.

Cody

Nevermind.

Mr.pickle.

I stil can't find the green and red bars

Lee

I see your difficulty P... there is a little red/green "rank charts" button in the top right of the my profile page... but it only shows up on my screen when I'm in a maximised window... looks like there may be some limitations to the layout of the site at this point.

Mr. Pickle. I can't get it with IE6, works with IE7 except there is no horizontal scroll bar - works perfect with Firefox though

PiNerd

That's because Firefox is pefect

Kristopher

But how many hundreds of memory leaks won't be fixed until FF3?

Spence

You can use the beta 4 version of FF3 now. I'm using it on my laptop but the only thing is that most of the add-ons aren't compatible yet.

Cody

How about fixing the Head to Head on the profile?

Lee

if you have a bug to report - best to email it to Sz direct... he doesn't moderate these forums or spend as much time here as us nutters

Cody

How come my #5 game is considered top 10 but not top 5?
