You might want to take a look into Firefox's alignment problem. Chrome & IE work just fine.

[RizeJodo]

Yeah, Firefox has a bit of an issue with the alignment on the Server Strength By Timezone page as well when you open an individual server for information. The average PPT takes up too much space so it runs over into the rank row and the rank is below on its own.

Looks great otherwise.

I also approve of Ehmry repping the Canadian flag.

The firefox layout problem is related to this bug

https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=488725

Been present in firefox for 6 years and it's still not fixed...

Anyway, found some work around so it should be fix for my site.

EDIT:

- Fixing bug in live map javascript. The bug was that if you lost your internet connection while it was trying to update, it would not restart to update after you get your connection back. Now it should work.
- Adding favicon
- Adding title
- Adding description

I got to tackle that SEO thing real soon...

[Gudradain]

Hmmm little problem. My cheap hosting plan ran out of memory last night and the database process crashed taking the whole website down for a few hours. Not sure if it was the surge of user that seems to have happen last night or the match up prediction calculation that took all the memory but I might need to change a few things soon...

Your website is gaining popularity. It's convenient for all needs, easy to read, easy to understand and is loading very fast.
It's pretty easy to see the path from the early day.

Adding 3 new sections

- FAQ
- Useful Links
- World Population

And my server again ran out of memory... Next thing will be to upgrade it.

Website back online...

EDIT : Resize is complete. The server should no longer run out of memory (for now)

So, I'm working on a graph for the timezone section. Here's what I got so far but I'm a bit stuck on the design side. Any suggestion to make it better?

[Biff Rangoon]

Could you group them up according to their matchups (rather than server order), and then give each matchup its own swimlane so the lines don't get mixed up with the lines in other matchups (i.e. T5-T7)?

If this is more meant to be an historical graph that uses data from several matchups over time, then each server will need its own swimlane. If you hadn't thought of doing an historical graph, and it's possible, I think it could be really useful. I'd use the average ppt in each time block across the previous x number of matches.

Having that line next to another that reflects the server's position on the rankings (or Glico score, or matchup results(1st, 2nd, 3rd), etc) over the same period would effectively express how confident we should be about the server strength line.

Anyway, I personally prefer the lines you've used here because I find the continuity much more intuitive for this sort of thing. I think others feel differently (based on previous comments), but you have at least one fan right here!

Yeah, might be better if I group them by match up as it will be more clear. I wanted to have them all together to make it easier to compare with servers in other group but it doesn't look like it will work out...

Historical graph is coming at some point (in another section). The data is already saved in the database.

You kind of lost me here... (Not sure what you mean)

A server's average ppt doesn't provide enough information to know a server's strength. Imagine a server that had historically been carried by great SEA coverage recently lost two major SEA guilds (say, two weeks ago). It would take a while for that to be reflected in average historical ppt, but it would be reflected immediately in their matchup results. The reverse is also true... if that same server received lots of transfers into their anemic NA coverage, then they'd get a major boost to their win rates.

The second measure adds a "how strong is this server" to your "when is this server strong".
