Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between those two games.
Default Setting for this feature:
Turn On /
Turn Off
Summation of game totals only works for the moment when the table
is in date of game order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit
goofy

HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career
game numbers (like
'#2967',
'#2407-2450-sum', or
'#227,230,245,sum')
onto the end of a gamelog url causes the games to the highlighted and
summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see
highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others.
