Quick bump of my Forum Code Tool. Especially useful for new managers who are not familiar with formatting on the site who want to get nicely colored stat tables for their HQ. Detailed instructions are inside the tool.

Knockout's Forum Code Tool
I've read a couple times last year that some people struggle with coloring rider tables in previews, HQ roster presentations or wherever you might want to post rider stats. A while back i made myself an excel table that made that process a lot quicker for me and I've used it for basically every HQ post with rider stats and also for the tables you saw in the Conglomerate previews but i've only ever shared it when someone asked me if i had one because the previous version was super raw and messy. I finally decided to clean it up a bit so that i could share it with you.
What can this do? This tool creates the HTML code for colored rider stat tables and links the correct flags. You can quickly hide columns (e.g. if you only need the stats MO, HI, TT, RES, REC, ACC, DH for a stage race preview, that is done very quickly). You can also change the color and the threshold values for the used coloring of stats.
How do I use this? Basically, you copy the riders you want to include (e.g. your team, the top stage racers in a stage race or whatever) from the DB into the input sheet, change which stats are supposed to be visible and then copy the Output table into a forum reply and add the [ table=100% ] [ /table ] brackets (without the spaces obviously). Slightly more detailed explanations about the different modification options are included in the tool that should explain everything well.
Mistakes - If there are any mistakes or questions, please share them in this thread. Also report any missing or wrong flags and stuff like that.
For managers who already use it:
No new features or changed functionalities so no new download needed but i changed the color table to the one below. By changing the bottom values to the same value as the lowest colored stat, there will be no empty brackets if the min stat for a color isnt reached so I recommend copy pasting the new table over the previous one (On the "Color" page) if you use the default values.
| Min Stat | Color | | 80 | red | | 75 | #009900 | | 70 | #66ff00 | | 70 | | | 70 | |
Spoiler Once again thank you everyone for all the praise this has gotten everywhere <3
If any (reporter?) wants to use this for race/season previews, but is missing some features, send me a message and I'll try to put out an improved version at some point.
