Just to clarify why I was editing the users in the first place, we had a guy playing who we suspected of cheating big time... seems totally pointless in a small game like ours but, nevertheless, he seemed to be doing so.  I received many complaints from others about this and when I investigated, it transpired he had been using at least another 20 names when playing.

Hi, it has been a long time since I have visited this community but I am glad I am still a member<br><br>I am hoping someone can help me.. I have had cause to delete a player from all lists but whilst doing this another player was playing unbeknown to me.  Therefore, when I returned the edited file all the scores gathered by the player didnt count - he actually lost 500,000 points.<br><br>Although he isnt bothered about losing these, I feel i should try and return them to him but cannot find the file in which the scores are kept.<br><br>firstly am I actually able to change scores?  If so, where do i find the file to edit (eg name, where is it etc)<br><br>I hope you can help me with this -- many thanks <img class="smilies" src="https://forum.eggheads.org/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title="Smile"><p>Statistics: Posted by <a href="https://forum.eggheads.org/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&amp;u=7599">Swift</a> — Tue Jan 07, 2020 4:54 am</p><hr />
