Hey Cliff good on you mate. Don't worry Mark has just been beaten up so much lately he is a little defensive.

Salute!

I've long been an advocate for being able to see the actual games played by members, including the opponents thereof.

When we look at the Muster for the various armies, we can see each officer's totals for Victories, Draws, and Defeats, but that only scratches the surface of the story.

If we can see the games/scenarios played, and the opponents we can get a real understanding of the player's abilities.

The totals don't mean that much all by themselves.

However, I also don't want to necessarily create a whole new web page that requires constant updating.
I'd rather look for a possible solution that would utilize a pre-existing format...

The first thing that comes to mind is the following:
When each of us logs into the DoR/Game Registration section, we can see the profile for ourselves, that shows our career as it were.

This lists by dates our medals, honors, etc, including battle results.
This information includes the game played, and an ID #, but not the scenario played by name, or the opponent(s).

If the profile were to be accessible by anyone (rather than just ourselves), and if the details of scenario and opponent were added to the display, this would provide the information we are looking for.

These are my thoughts on the matter.

Regards,

Sire I have no underline motives or wish to start another club I just thought it was a bon idea then. If I raise eye brows up, It was not my intension. You have more information on me then I have on anyone and I just felt that it would help others. My games will end and it would be nice to know what is poplar. I love playing these games in my retirement that is all Mesi :frenchsalute:


Our DoR Reports list both the number of games played in each of the titles we support, as well as the forty most popular scenarios played. You can readily see what is popular from the information you already have in hand.

I think what you are requesting my actually be full Administrator access for all members. I have asked Dominik if there is way to allow a person to see a record without being able to alter a record. Perhaps there is, I just honestly do not know all of the functional details of his database system.

I will, however, find out.

Maybe something similar to the email list function could be worked into the DOR.

Question:
How do I get a GAME completed when the opponent is no longer in the club and not interested in playing here, any longer. It has been one year since the last file exchange, but only a few weeks since our last contact.

Very simple, Ernie. You just let me know, and I will override the confirmation for the absent party.

Thanks. :frenchsalute:
