Possibly, but at least that way he could say he's the best in his country.

True. Very true.

What other ways could it be organized?
Here's the list of ways mentioned in this thread so far:

-Sorted by Total Time
-Sorted by Total Lap Time
-Sorted by Total MaxSpeeds
-Sorted by Country

Name
Rank
Date Joined
Birthday(If folks REALLY wanted to submit that information.....)

Of course..... Let's not bog Dave down TOO much here...

Then again, My last suggestion (Birthdays) there is just a bit off the wall (Give me a break here, it's 2324 hrs PDT, LOOOONG day....).... lol

As for the Date Joined option..... Dave would have to go through each and EVERY news posting to get everyones join date.... Don't particularly think he'd want to do that as that could take a few hours up to a few days (depending on motivation to implement that option [No offence, Dave. ])...

Plus, there's also the 'Best -> Worst' and 'Worst -> Best' options to be considered too.

Keep this thread in mind for the future. Let me the features that we already have converted over (it'll take a while, trust me!), then I'm sure we can add more sort options such as country and totals.

Okay.

Once the conversion is complete we'll dig this thread out (Or start a new one).

Just out of curiosity. How long do you think it'll take?
Take as long as you like. I can wait ^^.

Well, I've been working several hours a day for the last 3 days to learn what I'm doing. So far, if I uploaded what I have right now, I'd have a grand total of 3 SNES profiles created. LOL

Of course, the pace will quicken greatly in the future because I now have a much better understanding of what to do. But we're still probably talking about MONTHS of work on top of my regular updates to get everything converted. Now once some of the site is converted, I might change plans and add some new features before fully completing the renovations. But I'm not making promises today. We'll see what the future holds.

I just thought of another feature that could be handy.

In the profiles could there be an option to see a particiapant's times in each system.

Like say I'd like to see DVM's times in NTSC. There would be a link above the list. Where you can switch between PAL and NTSC. Would that be possible?

Would this take a great deal more time?

LOL ... it all takes a great deal of time. But it's a good idea. I'll keep it in mind. Right now I'm going to be working on the SNES track rankings and then FZX track rankings in PHP. This is because those items aren't properly viewable in Netscape currently, and I know that the problem will be fixed with the switch to PHP.

After finishing those two projects, I'll start work on making the rankings pages sortable by country and total times. The country option will be a pull-down menu where you select a country and you'll get a page showing only the players from that country.

Only once those things are completed can I even consider creating the "opposite system times" idea. Plus I'll also still need to change the GBA track rankings, FZX and SNES profiles, all player rankings pages, and all records pages to PHP. Umm, not to mention building the ENTIRE Gamecube competition framework from scratch. This is why I suggested that everything may take months to complete. All of this has to be in my spare time ... I have a family and a full-time job to consider, plus helping my wife with her new business venture.

Wow, I'm even busier than I thought!

All this leaves almost no time to actually PLAY the games.

Dave

Whoa. I never knew you were that buzy! O.O

I noticed you had the snes profiles done. Next is F-Zero X?
Like I said before. Take all the time you need ^^. There's no rush.
I guess you intend to finish this by the time F-Zero GC comes out? ^^

EDIT: By the way, the pull down method for the Country sorting was excatly what I had in mind. What a coincidence huh?

I'd love to have it all done by then. Depends on what roadblocks life throws my way, ya know?

OK guys, give me some feedback on this test page:

http://www.fzerocentral.com/FZX/fzerotest.htm

Clicking on a country will bring up a ranking of players just from that country. Let me know what you think about it.

Jamie Thompson got the same thing. But it works fine for Leandro and myself. Very odd.

Just out of curiosity, tell me if this link works:
