Can't help that as users don't have the their updated/current names in there.
That's why I thought it would be cool if you could enter your BT ID.

I think it must be something else...my link does not come up...wickid and Spanky also just to name a few.

That's because my in-game name isn't tigobitties anymore, it's something like "aasvr.us | tigobitties" but I'm not bothered enough to check it.


Actually, I'm pretty sure that this code won't work. The player in question has to actually be logged in. The code that sends you to Battletracker first sends a query to the Auth server to get the player's BTID. The query fails if the player isn't logged into Assist and thus, sends you to an invalid link on Battletracker. I'm 90% sure on this.

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken, Spanky.
You see, I know Merlin isn't playing right now, but when I clicked on his link it forwarded me to his BT. It works OK.

But to make it work better than just 'OK', we would need the players to specify their BT ID so that we could then always link to that one.

It's entirely possible. It was a long time ago that Jonny set up that query method.

new site looks great!
Couple of suggestions:

You are missing the favicon.ico in dist/imgs (or at least it's not showing in firefox). 
In case you need one, made one
Mobile browsers have a problem logging into the site, and this just isn't this look, it was the previous one as well.  Maybe the  divs (class brand) are stomping over the login ul block.  Nothing happens if you are able to press login.
Here is a screenshot in mobile (webkit)

Shad, thanks for the info, but as i already stated we know of this, but there are other issues we need to handle first.

LULZ No.
Well then have a separate page or at least something for the TS. What's the point of having a TS if nobody knows we have a TS or can get the info?

we need to find a better way to do it, the javascript view that we used, its really bad. It bogs down the site.

bogs down how, in terms of connections or cpu usage?  I made a php script that grabs info once per page load if you want a look but there's plenty of better looking examples out there.  You just have to make sure the query account is configured correctly.

The javascript for the ts viewer is blocking, which stops the other scripts from loading.

We don't really need a TS viewer, just some way to let people know we have an official AAO25 TS. Would a link underneath the shoutbox that opens TS and joins the TS be possible? It would say something like "Join Official AAO25 TeamSpeak Server" They'd be able to click on it to open up TS and automatically join.

If not, just the text and the IP would be good. Maybe have the TS server and all of the official LSP AA servers listed too.

"Join Official AAO25 TeamSpeak Server"

What about this on the loading screen?

It's not this because I know my username is right, it just doesn't work.

Hey!

I've got a problem with the 'New' button on threads that have new posts since my last visit.
It used to link to the first post that I hadn't read, but now it seems to always just link to the last post in the thread.
This causes me to have unread posts on some topics and since I'd like to read everything, that annoys me a little.

Thanks for the attention.
