Clearing my cashe My score and RCG's have appeared, but our score is 1! Or is that the score you put in testing the system?
i made a 1 point score for testing , but looks like you picture of progear was uploded from your side

updating scores is the same like insert them,
the system know if its the 1st score or just an update

your password is still the same
Also - If you want me to do a final translation of the 'How to use the site' page, I'll happily do that for you!
oh that would be nice so other people can also use this site :)

Site looks really nice, though it could use some polish. A good example to look at is VJArmy, which does more or less the same thing for the Beatmania IIDX games. I think it's quite well designed and easy to use.

A few specific suggestions:

-Remove that giant list from the home page.

-Use more drop-down menus, and make them manditory. This makes everything look a lot more uniform. For example, DDP's score list has people listing their ships as "rot, A-L, blau-shot" as well as just leaving it blank. It's pretty messy. Make a drop down menu with A-S, A-L, etc and make them choose one. You could do the same with stages to prevent anyone from being weird.

This would also have prevented EOJ from using Palm (Alternate) on Mushihimesama Ultra. :3 (There's no table for Futari Ultra fyi)

-Link the pictures and remove the size requirement. If someone wants to check them they're there, but as it is there's usually just a line of broken images that make every entry about three times fatter than they need to be. In addition, forcing people to downsize their images might make long strings of numbers hard to make out.

if anyone want to help with the design, because thats not my best part
-Remove that giant list from the home page.
just for the moment, make it much easier for me to see the latest scores
to see if bugs there

Yeah, every game would pretty much require its own unique entry form. They'd all be pretty similar, but it'd involve a lot of bitch work to enter all the different options into the menus for each game.

As for design, it doesn't have to be fancy; simplicity and uniformity work just fine.

Cool - I'll see if I can do it this week and then get it over to you. Basically all I can offer is tidying up the English in the section already done - I just noticed some words were still to be translated, and some sentences needed to be written a little differently. Hope that's not patronising!

Just messed about with the site; it's a neat idea for quick reference. If you can change one thing: I'd hyperlink the latest rows of entries to their corresponding tables...

E.g. under "Name" for the latest entry, clicking on "DoDonPachi" should take me to that scoreboard; rather than going back to the drop down above, and selecting DPP to reach that table etc...
