Hey captains - check this out

Hello, tag1153,

The date when each player joined the team is now available when you click on
"Manage team members" link. You can also click on the column's header/title to
sort by that column (click again to reverse the sorting order).

Thank you for choosing GameKnot as your premier chess battlefield!

Best regards,

In response to your inquiry submitted on 29-Dec-11, 20:16 Subject: Team member longevity
Happy New Year Mike! (and to your minions as well 

Thought I would get the jump on the new year with an odd request - is it possible to list somewhere the dates on which players join a team? My team (Southern Chess) has been around for quite a while now. I took over my first year on GK. We have had up to around 60 members at times, but after some humorous political infighting we have trimmed down to the very core of our team. Roughly two dozen guys who each carry the same weight as far as team participation (in discussions, in team events, and of course in playing team games). I would like to recognize them by seniority in a new team theme I'm kicking around. Hopefully you (or above mentioned minion) have at one time or another wondered aloud - "Are those guys whackjobs, or what?" I feel as an old time captain it is incumbent on me to change things up, try new themes periodically, and keep them laughing. That is SC. We really don't care any more about team games than any other games. We're a social team. Most of us are related to or have personally met several others (I've met seven). These guys will flip if I start handing out seniority candy. Any chance of getting that info? Too much work? Regardless of your answer, GAMEKNOT RULES!

that's awesome tag, thanks for highlighting this - a shame though that team co/captains dates
are not accurate, but still a great addition

If only they would do the same thing (can also click on the column's header/title to
sort by that column (click again to reverse the sorting order).) for the following page

gameknot.com

*It would make managing my players easier, by knowing who is playing which team on one page,

*which players game is close to ending based on number of moves,

*quickly view each players team games that they are currently playing, to keep me from having my team members playing the same pairing of games, against a common opponent at the same time.

I see no rhyme or reason to the current listing, or it's helpfulness with-out being able to sort it.
Once sortable it could be a valuable tool to keep track of the many matches going on, and
making GameKnot a premier chess battlefield!.
