Fun Bet
This Bet is JUST FOR FUN!

Fun-Tokens have no value.

Description / Terms
I bet that the webmaster can't add all the following functionality to this website by 8/12:

1)  Sort by bets "open" or "no new offers".
2)  Add the ability to select by bet type; fun, cash, or product.
3)  Sort by the person that authored the bet.

My verbiage is not important, just the basic functionality described.

No offensive to the webmaster here, I love this site, but that is only a week away and I don't think the sort by author will be anywhere near done by that time, of course I don't know what is happening on the test server and all.  Speaking of which, do you all need Beta testers over there or do you have it all handled?  Big Grin

I love a challenge!

In this case, the sorts are already on the drawing board and two new sorts were added today, including your first item.  

1) Use the "Sort by Close Date" option and it moves all the open bets to the top.  I did that this morning.

2) The ability to see just Fun, Cash or Product is on the way.  It'll be fun to try to make your deadline.  Smile

3) Technically the best way to sort by author is already handled by using the Member Directory, or just by clicking a member's name in any transaction.  You get their profile, along with their entire bet history.  In the near future, you will be able to create a "Buddy List" where you can see just the bets authored by the people in your list.

That will be awesome if you get these out there!  Since the author sort is already available, only 2 to go!  Good luck Joe.  Thanks for fixing my icon!  If my age was verified I probably would have put cash on this one.  It would be worth a few beers to see accomplished.

I'd like to hope I loses this one, however, I do not think I will.  Does insider information on this one mean I can't be involved in the bet?  GO WEBMASTER...GO AND PROVE ME WRONG!!!!  Cool

For what it's worth, if anyone jumped on after I finished, I could see him not accepting their bets.

After all, he challenged me to do it by the 12th, and I don't think he (or I) anticipated getting it done by 12... PM.

Yeah, now I can see how to get things moved along quicker, and outsider may want to place a bet that you can't get the revote issues all taken care of so he can get his win from the whole matrix contraversy, lol

WildBill,

I just noticed that your icon is a bit fuzzy and that's because it's very big and being shrunk by the browser to fit our normal icon size.

The trouble is that the icon image you're linking to is nearly 1,800,000 bytes, which is huge.  Some people with modems will never see it because it could take several minutes to load it.

Feel free to link to this new version which only takes up about 3,500 bytes, and is much easier to read.

Here's the URL, which you can paste into your profile.

I can make something else for you if you'd like.  Just ask!

Diddy, you have a similar problem, but in your case the image you are linking to doesn't show up because they are blocking outside links to it.

Here's a version you can link to:

YIKES!Eek  Talk about jumping on the bandwagon!

I've already won it, so he's not going to accept any offers after the point where I wrote the code to do it.

If he does, you guys are going to clean him out! Eek Eek

I'm not sure if you've tried it, but all 3 items are done and available on the top right side of the bet listings.

The left column lets you sort by: Activity, Author, or Close Date.  Therefore by sorting by Close Date, or Author, you can see the "open" bets and "no new offers" sorted... (#1 & # 3)

The second column lets you see either All, Fun, Cash, or Product (#2).

I voted for a win here.

I'll check your ID status, it seems your ID was submitted but not automatically approved.  I will email you to help get you verified ASAP.

Unfortunately, due to Kahnawake Gaming Commission rules, uBetWHAT partners and staff are not allowed to bet cash or products, so I wouldn't be allowed to bet against you.
