After our humble start on CFC a year ago, we have come a long way.
At first Mel and I had to manually adjust our own posts on cfc. Things improved a lot when we moved to CDZ and we could access each others posts. Still it remained quite cumbersome to manually maintain all running and finished matches. So the most dramatic improvement we had last year was the database Digger developed for us. [goodjob]Thanks again to Digger, I don't think we would have a ladder today without your database!
So a lot of things changed for the better but there's still some room for improvement. My maintenance hasn't been on a day to day basis last year and here's where I want to change things so the ladder will be accurate on a day to day basis. Also I'd like to improve the accesability of the database and the design of the pages.
To start things of I added new search and mail features to the ladder database today and slightly improved the graphics. Just look around and you'll see you have more options now.
I'll be adding the possibility to enter your own running games next. This will however mean you will all get a password to prevent funny people who're passing buy to fill up our database with 'new' challenges. You'll be hearing more of this soon. Next step will be automated finished game entry.
That leaves the graphics. It's quite obvious that my graphical design skills leave a lot to be desired. So if someone has suggestions or can offer some help here it would be much appreciated.
That's it, happy new year and civ on in 2004!
