CEO & CTOAfter a recent thread highlighted teams were absent from historic standings it was brought to my attention that there was a flaw in the way standings were displayed. As I wrote in that thread:
The reason this happened is because when a team left a league their points were set as "inactive" so that they weren't counted at the end of the season, but it would also wipe all historical standings for that team in that particular league in the process. Any teams that left the league in other words, had their historical standings erased.
I have changed the code, meaning this should not happen in future. Now, it will only wipe the points from the season that they leave the league, meaning it will keep all historical records.

In other words, it now keeps teams in the standings after they leave the league. But this created another issue, confusing standings on the league information page, with more than 16 teams showing and relegation zones being confusing and hard to interpret. So, I've made some final changes described below.
What has changed?
[list]
[*]For the current season, only teams in the league will be shown
[*]For historic seasons, all teams, including those that didn't complete the season or which have since left the league will be shown
[*]In historic standings, this may result in slightly different results, but it will show all of the historic information
