NepentheZ Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Youth Player Project Bit of a problem. Apparently, I had 16,600 characters in my post, and we're now only allowed 10,000. This is a big problem for me going forward in this thread, with this challenge. Which leads me to only 1 conclusion. I must create my own thread for this, and give each person, (or 2-3 people) individual updates on each post. Much longer winded, but I want to persevere with it. Thoughts please. (Also thinking that if it has its own thread, it may attract attention and more people may begin doing it..!!) From your challenges thread, Daf.

dafuge Posted July 12, 2008 Author Share Posted July 12, 2008 I'd seen that, it is an issue with a few of the forums that get lengthy inputs from users. I'm hoping that the limit will be raised soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Cheers Daf. Is soon.. "Lets discuss it Monday, and make a decision a few weeks later" - or - "Lets have this done by Monday" ? Because I hate having loose ends, and this Youth Project thing not being updated in your challenge is annoying me. As well as the fact that the coding is buggered and will take me 3 times as long to submit the post anyway Someone suggested in OTF that I do it over 2 posts. May well do that temporarily, I guess. fwiw too, Daf, thanks for all the effort you've put in over the last 24 hours. Theres nothing thats been asked of you thats gone amiss, and we really appreciate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When testing the coding, I tried posting the table for my challenge, I got this message: The text that you have entered is too long (66909 characters). Please shorten it to 10000 characters long.

All you have to do is win the CL on every continent. THE AIM The aim is to win the CL, the Copa Libertadores de América, the CAF MTN Champions League and the AFC Champions League. To add an extra challenge try to win every league you are in as well. Eligible Leagues For the CL: Any European nations. For the Copa Libertadores: Brazil. For the CAF MTN: South Africa For the AFC Champions League: Any Asian country. The Rules * You must go a Brazilian team from the lowest brazilian league possibile to start. Afterwards you can go in any league in the countries you've loaded. * You do not have to do it in the order I have stated above, that was just to show you what you have to win. *Screenshots for anything are encouraged. But at the end of the season I need a minimum of the league table and team squad. *You must set your manager rep to the lowest possible available. I will need a screenshot of proof. *Player naming and tactic naming is allowed. (this is a warning for those who don't want to see it.) *You must not use any third party products. FMM, Genie Scout etc.... If I have missed anything out then sorry. Good luck in this. But most importantly, have fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 For some threads, the OP has been replaced. Obviously, this is extremely frustrating. Us here at Challenges rely a lot on the OP to give a lot of details. Fortunately, not many threads in CSE were affected by this. Can I propose the following. - All threads where the OP was replaced due to the forum time lapse, can the posters of these posts simply quote them in the order they were posted, (so for example in my Youth Project Thread, there are 3 posts ahead of the OP. So the person with Post 1 Quotes his post to put it at the bottom) - and then Dafuge could kindly delete the posts preceding the OP. - In some threads, such as this, perhaps it would be beneficial to simply delete the posts ahead of the OP, as most of them are in regards to the forum messing up, and wouldn't be missed. If everyone is happy with that, I'll dig up all the CSE topics that require this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks, NepentheZ, but there may be a problem - usually you can't delete the first post of the thread without deleting the thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think its possible on VB. Just like we've "added" a first post, deleting post 1 simply bumps everyone up a post. We could use a test topic to test it if Dafs happy with this, and doesn't know the outcome of deleting Post 1. If it so happens that the OP's are replaced or the topic is deleted, we may have a small problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
