"Find You" in Hall of Fame

[yawgodemt [new user]]

With the new rankings in the Hall of Fame, would it be possible to have a "Find Yourself" link?

This would open the page that you are ranked on, so you don't have to trudge through pages of scores to find yourself.

It might be possible, but what if you aren't on the relevant list? for instance farmcritters on the dragonkill lists?

Also, finding which page you were on would require loading the entire set into memory and then iterating through it (at least to show you in context/discover which page you were on). This is expensive and not something I wish to do. The pages are done with the LIMIT search keyword in SQL so it only returns those results which are relevant for that page.

(Moonchild, search between 500 or 5k isn't a big difference for SQL)

... but ... any browser as the cabapibilty to respond when your press CTRL+F, so I think that the option isn't too much needed.

Also, if you use IE you can download Google's toolbar which has an oustanding system to search and highlits keywords within a page.

Too bad it looks like Admisn won't be on the list, like seeing even the best of my compition.

I removed admins from the list because a large number of them, myself included often augment their stats or levels as they are messing around with something. It's not fair showing that they are the 'most powerful warrior' in the land when they are only that way because they can edit stats.

Since there is no way to know if an admin has edited themselves or not, I chose to remove them from the list.

It's not searching in SQL that's the problem.. It's doing the php loop to figure out what index in the 'full list' your entry would be. That would be somewhat slower with the 2000+ members of the central server though it would work fine on my 150 member server. Since it doesn't scale well, I choose not to do it.

Makes sense, thanks.
