Sent, all is fixed. Although the site still thinks we're missing one despite it manually put in.

Is that an issue?

Thanks a lot for your understanding :3

To expand on this (I actually came up with the Charmander idea on a separate CSL stats aggregator that was then implemented in a better way into the CSL page), the problem is that when one registers an account on the CSL page, it only asks for username + id.

Now, it used to be back in October 2010 or so that with that information alone you could find a user's profile on bnet. However, as of aound November-December 2010, Blizzard hid the ability to do this - so it is not usable anymore. However, SC2Ranks had associated username+id with player profiles already, and in its API included a function to find someone's profile by providing username and id as parameters. This doesn't work for everyone - there was some other change in the underlying representation on the Blizzard end of things, so at that time only about 80% of people could be found with this data, which went down over time due to a variety of factors.

As far as I know right now, just having a username and id # most of the time will not allow you to find someone's battle.net profile page. As such, this information is usually insufficient - and results in Charmanders. The only reliable method I know atm is to have the URL link to the player's battle.net or sc2ranks page.

Of course I haven't looked into this for some months, but this is probably mostly still true.

Hmm by chance in the database, for individual sets, are the player entries by username rather than a unique player id#? Asking because my record shows up as 4-2 overall, but I have many more games played than that (assuming that this goes into previous seasons since iMpEndymion is at 20-3). Now, I did change my username late last season, so if the stats page is searching by username, that would explain the discrepancy.
