Although you may not have seen anything change, I've been working non-stop on the site this week. Most of all the stuff I worked on was fixing bugs you've found and adding feature requests you asked for.

Here's what's new :

1.) I fixed tons of bugs and issues.

2.) You can now pause replays (moved the slider all the way to the left to pause)

3.) It now shows you how many levels there are on the tournament page AND inside the actual game

4.) Scores of zero and disconnects no longer count towards a tournaments player count (and are awarded no exp/gp)

5.) You may have noticed lots of "cheaters" flagged in tournaments. About 90% of those cheaters didn't actually cheat. I am still working out the last few bugs in the cheat detector. It "might" be perfect now... I'll have to see over the next few days if it flags someone as a cheater incorrectly.

6.) Replays for easy tournaments are now free to watch for all. This helps new players learn from the more experienced. Medium and harder tournaments still require geek points to watch.

7.) It now shows your current best place in each tournament on the main tournament page and inside your profile.

More to come soon :)

I'm glad you're getting the streamlining/optimization of the main engine out of the way now... That will leave more room later for tons and tons of 'scares you S4-less' player-created stuff. This place, because it's still so young and tight-knit of a community, has so much potential that the bigger sites just don't have any more. Makes me proud to be a member of the community.

Thanks for your work, it is always a pleasure to see enthusiasm in action!

One tiny idea from me - on the "Games" page, for the list of tournaments might be useful to have a filter "For me" or "I can play" or something like it. By checking it only tournaments in which you can actually participate should be displayed.
Honestly, most of the times seeing tournaments in which I am not allowed to play is a bit distracting...

Great game, great site, wish you even greater success!
