This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I think the server redirect should remain blocked unless a popup is shown -- it is too easily abused by bot servers.
However, the reserved slot functionality is gold. I used to use reserved slots as carrots to my community and prizes for winning in our tournaments....

I do like how Valve implemented the min/max variables - good call and thanks for listening! Regards, Fred john @ GamersCoalition wrote: > It's a tough cookie.
