I don't know what's complained about, that stupid scroll menu was a pain in the ass (and us iPhone users aren't allowed to type in the first few letters) so it wasFOREVER to scroll, and my tournaments started with a "B"!!! If it goes back I will never name a tournament with anything that starts with anything after B, bcuz I'd be wasting WAY to much time scrolling the stupid thing.

You're right, the scroll menu was a major pain, which is why it was suggested to have one scroll menu for completed tournaments, and another one for currently active tournaments, which would be a much shorter list.

This "fix" has replaced a Major Pain with a Colonel Pain.

I still don't like the option of having any drop-downs at all tho, because with the amount of options still to go it makes it a real pain for page loading. I know how much it's irritated me before when needing to map rank from game finder and how long it took to load the page, so I really wouldn't want to go back to that.

As an aside, I really like the Game Label option a lot. It makes it so easy to search for your specific team

The sarcasm wasn't required. When I posted on these matters in the Tools & Enhancements forum, I did give more meaningful information. This being the General forum though, I was more general here and basically just engaging in chit-chat.

But if you want more informative feedback here it is: The universe is a perverse place. When I first started having problems with Tour Stats etc, I thought it might be because my version of Firefox was getting old and not running the latest updates etc., etc. So I upgraded from FF3 to FF4. The next day you made that post that the fixes would would with FF3 and FF5 but not FF4. Like I said, the universe is a perverse place.

Anyway, I was busy and didn't do anything else about it for a few days, but at the next opportunity I upgraded from FF4 to FF5. Well, maybe the fixes work in FF5 but they didn't for me. In fact, I couldn't get Greasemonkey working at all, not just the CC tools in question. So I gave up, deleted FF5 and went back to FF3. Everything worked fine. But now they've gone and changed the Game Finder page again <sigh> and now once again neither Tour Stats nor Saved Searches works for me.

So I don't know now whether to complain again in the threads for the individual tools or to just wait.

After updating 75% of my tourneys this weekend I have become used to the new system--it is not that bad at all. The old way was simpler and qwerts idea probably even simpler, but ultimately it is not a real hard ship at all.

Just my opinion

It's more of a nuisance than a hardship for most tasks, but that's not the point. A change is supposed to make things better, not worse, even if it is only slightly worse.

this update is an improvement...now u can look in the games in the tournament and press the back button and be back on the same page with all the tournament games....
before u had to go to the drop down again after u went into a specific game....much more work...

I've found my workaround: I keep an "App Tab" on FF4 for all tournaments with myself as the TO. So, I'm done complaining for now.

Lack has updated things once again.

Subject: Recent updates fixed

The game finder is now automatically pre-loaded with active tournaments for TOs for quick lookups.


We are still investigating other methods to improve the feature.

Now the tourneys I am running are in a drop down box when I go to game finder--that makes it just as easy as before if not easier in respect to running my own tourneys. The rest is no problem because most of the time I am not checking games within another tourney--more likely clicking on the link from the game itself and going to the thread.

I am still good with the changes but now even better with these changes
