v1.2:
-added basic display mode and made it the default (only the most important info is listed in a rectangle that fits on the page without scrolling like you see at those popular download sites: http://ootp-leagues.com/iold/show.php)
-added paging (splitting the query result over multiple pages, making it load a lot faster, instead of it all on one long page, which was fine with a small database, but it's not anymore)
-added basic search (searches select fields including League ID, League Initials, League Full Name, among others: http://ootp-leagues.com/iold/search.php)
-designated the old search as advanced search
-added basic and full vertical display mode options to advanced search
-added an inputtable Number of Results Shown per Page to advanced search
-moved filters and sorts from show page to advanced search
-sped up searches with multiple filters and sorts by only using them if set
-deleted the text on the show page
-added reset button to advanced search
-added Alexa website preview thumbnails (very cool, see: http://ootp-leagues.com/iold/profile...&league=Submit for an example, but unfortunately very few websites have their sites cached (if you want to update your site's Alexa preview thumbnail, you can by clicking on the image, sign up as the contact, then click on the update thumbnail link) and not always does it load, so I might disable it or replace it with an option to link to your own website preview thumbnail or logo, but it will have to be a certain size)

v1.21:
-redesigned the site to a narrower look (studies have shown that most people prefer their content in an area narrower than the full screen and I do too, it's just not something that was high on the priority list until now)
-fixed a search bug so now if you don't both select the select box and enter something into the input box for the filters or sorts then it ignores what little you did do and spits out the default instead of nothing (thanks to whoever that unwitting tester was

)
-added some help text to the search page

Thanks again to the people who made suggestions on how to improve the usability of the site!
