Rank and Name Scoreboard Search

A speedier way to do it would be to just have some sort of database inquiry such as a name or certain ranks, etc. This way you don't have to wait for the entire page to load full of names.

or just paginate it, and put a search field at the top.

Give search options in other words. Then he should move on to clan statistics. (or more like the clan provides the statistics)

Looks good

Hopefully that will save you some bandwidth.

Speaking of, I was wondering if it was possible to use CSS and layers to get #'s on top of the maps, I know it wouldnt look as good, but it would save a lot of bandwidth.

That's possible, but the numbers overlay counts for only 10% of in-game bandwidth. The vast majority is the game log. When I bring in AJAX technology, that should drastically reduce the bandwidth.

Yea, I was hoping you would bring in AJAX

Its a php class library for AJAX, makes it a lot easier IMO.
