Improvements/General Update

Hey all,

You may have noticed the new Stat Attack Extra feature, which we added. This was as a result of a few members feedback - so thanks to them for getting the ball rolling. Its always interesting to see how people take to new tools and this one has gone down well with quite a few of you and the feedback has been great so watch out for some more developments and improvements to it in the next while.

The System Builder Upgrade we are working on is coming along very nicely and although i cant give a guaranteed date at this stage expect it soon. The upgrade will include some new categories, improved features and more. Its going to be great.

The Ratings Machine V2 continues to take up a lot of our time and we are hopeful over the next week we will get the Stall calculations on and also some additional features so we are close to how it will actually be at launch.

In this respect it is important current users of the Ratings Machine are aware this will be replaced by the V2 and although we will run both simultaneously for a short period it will be removed completely once things settle down. As the V2 works on a completely different structure there is no way to simply move settings across and it would be a foolish move on our part to attempt to do so.

Please keep all feedback coming - thanks to all members for your continued support, the site genuinelly would not exist without you.

I will write again soon.

Ratings Machine V2 in first working format

Hi all,

After what has been a testing few days we now return to getting things moving again and progress.

The RMV2 is now loaded in a first working test format - basically this means it should all work but we need to run plenty of tests on it and ensure all calculations etc are being formulated correctly. The only section we are still finalising is the Stalls - ill give an update on this in my next blog.

The HRB Test set we have loaded has literally just been created now using a relatively standard approach, at launch time we will obviously have put more thought in and tested substantially for whatever we decide to include as our standard set.

Anyway, i shall not waffle on and just say thanks very much to everyone for your continued support, which is really fantastic and by working together we are gradually getting there.

Ill post soon, hope to hear from you with any feedback at all you may have.

Problems

Hi,

I had hoped to bring better news at this stage but instead im afraid i must say there have been several issues, all culminating tonight in a complete system crash.

We have had to completely restore the whole thing and unfortunately you may have lost some data saved in the last couple of days. If you have i am genuinelly and sincerely sorry.

Please contact us with any issues and we will try our best to help.

This period of development has been a particularly difficult period and all i can really say is thanks for your patience and be aware it will all be worth it.

Again my sincere apologies if you are one of those whose data has been lost. We have restored as much as we can.

The development is getting there and i guess with advancement there are sometimes disappointments on the way.

The one positive is that we got most of it back. But the stuff thats corrupted is no use to anyone.

Ill post soon. Sorry again

Chris
