TOPIC: small events page suggestion

That was quick and the results are fantastic. The events are now listed from newest to oldest. The result is less scrolling down to find the current VTD event.

Thank you to Rachel Stemm for starting this thread and bringing the change to fruition.

Doug also added a cool "jump to" buttons that appear if you have a big enough list of events. Thanks for the good feedback Rachel and John.

Amazing change!!

If you have any other suggestions for fixes/tweaks for td.events just let me know.

Ooh, I have one: when choosing classes for a particular run, could you make it possible to select fewer classes than the number of tickets I have?

I enjoy "double-down" runs (5 actual players each holding two tickets). Today if I have 2 tickets, I either have to select 2 classes (one of which is effectively a dummy placeholder and only serves to confuse people) or none; I would love to be able to just select the 1 class I actually plan to play.

Thanks!

Thank you for the changes. This makes it very convenient for the adventurers.

I sent Doug a PM on this suggestion. I have run into the same problem when purchasing a ghost ticket. I offered two possible suggestions. Hopefully one will work.

I'll take a look at the choosing less characters than tickets idea. I have a feeling I might have made some assumptions that they were always equal in other parts of the code in the admin and if that is true I'd rather leave it as is then risk breaking that code.

Thanks for checking!

If it isn't possible to fix cleanly in the code, adding several explicit "none" or "ghost" values to the list of eligible classes would also solve my problem (i.e. with 2 tickets I could select Cleric plus the first available "none". From the system's perspective I have still chosen two classes, but in human terms all the other real classes remain available for others to choose along with more "none" values)
