Messy FZX track rankings.
Post by JordanS88 on Apr 29th, 2003, 3:00pm

Whenever I look at the high score tables, on just about every page there are instances where (strangely enough) the text overlaps itself, so two names are displayed in the same cell approximately every ten names down the list.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but it's appearing on the FZX pages in particular (mostly because those are the only once I visit).

...?

It doesn't happen in my IE6. Do the pages take a long time to load for you? I often wonder if slow d/l times (being on 56k, for instance) can cause problems like this.

I do know that some of the stat pages look all messed up in Netscape, I haven't been able to fix that problem yet. Not an easy task when the pages are generated by a Microsoft product (Excel).

Anyone else out there having similar difficulties with stat pages? Please give specific examples and say what browser you're using, this helps me troubleshoot the problem.

yeah, it happens pretty often to me. but it probably a loading issue cause every time that I reload the page it corrected itself.
I've got IE6.0 and ADSL.

I've begun testing .php files to replace all existing stat pages. This will be a long, slow process of conversion, but perhaps it will solve the loading issues.

And yes Anders, the newly redesigned SNES profiles will be the first pages to be upgraded to the php system!

I have IE6 as well, but I am on dial-up.

Loading times are fine considering the speed of my modem.

I don't know about FZX, but the FZMV pages load fine except I occasionaly get an instance of some of the cell borders missing, creating an effect of three names in one cell.
It still reads the same, though and it's good enough for me.
I would however like to recommend that you get rid of those 23 slots above me. It would free up some space on your site and speed up everyone's loading time!

Thanks, Kort!
I've been doing a lot better since Leandro mentioned that whole 'straffing' thing. That makes a HUGE difference!
