Hi,
In fact the directory structure was almost like this in the beginning. The problem is that the number of a challenge is not a key. Actually the number depends on how you sort your challenge list. If some challenge get's deleted, the numbers change and so on. That's why we started to drop the numbers and give descriptive names.
But I could simply write a script catching requests to /chall/... and redirecting to the correct path.
I could simply use two drop down boxes, one for the section and one for the challenges. Or even just one box with all the challenges and headlines of the groups in between.
Where should it be placed?

how about the login screen. As it is now there is some extra space there,
even a username/password box that afaik serve no purpouse, and everybody
who is a bit security conscious(logging out after every visit) will see that page a lot.

I doubt that putting everything in a single drop down is such a good idea, it would end up
in some tedious scrolling, and probably slow you down rather than speed it up.

ps: talking about digging up old threads j/k

i think rhican has a good point.

Hi,

now it's there.
Try it out and give comments here.

Cu, Erik

It's nice! maybe some server scripts would also be useful, something like:

http://www.bright-shadows.net/getgroups.php
http://www.bright-shadows.net/getchalls.php?group=3
http://www.bright-shadows.net/quickjump.php?group=3&chall=6

That would simplify the client-side JS and anybody can write his own code to jump to a challenge.

Cool thing! And it's really fast too! Love it!

I love this Quick jump list works fine and makes everything faster

thx to Chaosdreamer for this post:

it's also a nice function

what a nice script

Now heres where it gets a little complicated.

I was wondering if it would be possible to implement this further.

You know how on the challenge screen you have 'Done' and 'Not done' for challenges respectively, would there be any way to link this script to a users session so the drop-down list shows the challenge name in green if the challenge has already been completed or red if it has not?

Just an idea.
