It seems that there's another bug concerning making CBUB matches:

http://www.electricf...=0

It appears that matches post themselves as soon as the characters are chosen, before a user can even write out or even copy/paste the scenario.

I chose X-Men (animated) and everything was working like usual. Then when I chose "The Justice Lords", the match was already posted. The option to write a setup wasnt even there. It posted the match automatically after choosing the last fighter in the match.

That's gonna hurt a lot of FPAs...

Just paste you match into the first post using edit. The post is yours, you can edit it at any time.

Only those too lazy to edit.

Not quite what I mean. You see a match posted that interests you, you go look at it. If no set-up is present, you'll say, "what the *vulgarity*?," rate it It's Bad, and move on. Once you've rated it, you can't change your rating, I don't believe. You get the message "You've already voted on this match," if you try. And how is one to know the person that posted the match is going to come back and edit a set-up in? Just sayin', I think match FPAs will be affected by this.

Hmmm... as far as matchmaking goes, it wouldn't affect me much personally. I always made my matches on Notepad, then copy/pasted them in the "Enter your set-up here" space when I was ready to post them, so the "no set-up" look would only be there for seconds at most. However, those that don't have the option of using a text editor beforehand may likely have to spend hours typing up their set-ups all while the match is up, and it may get graded in the meantime.

[DamagingRob]

I pretty much do the same. I use Wordpad, though. I know some write it on the fly, and those are the ones that I'm worried may have their FPAs dropped.

The "write scenario later" option is still up in the control panels:

That may still confuse some users. Maybe matches could activate the same way as forum topics and not open until the topic opener (a.k.a. match scenario) is posted by the matchmaker?

I'm able to vote and rate everytime I look at a match. That may explain the sudden jump in scores after the fight is over. It used to be stuff like 3-5 and not its 15-22.

Actually, the increased final vote totals are more likely due to the fact that "guests" can now vote (but not rate).

Gee I'm pretty sure you can only vote once on a match if you are logged in and once on a match if you are logged out. Maybe more if you are logged out.

I kind of don't take the Votes on characters as seriously as the rating

I just went and tried it out on my own match. I was able to vote for one side while offline and the other while online, and never received an error message. Not that I ever really cared much about a match's final vote, either (unless the totals were really weird).

Darn. I was going to change my match. lol.

I'll work with what's there.
