What do you prefer about it over speedrun.com?
Resources: • There's a Resources link in the navigation bar with some basic tools. • The Splits, Saves, Tools and Modifications pages for games have been merged into a single Resources page. • Modifications has been renamed to Patches, to avoid confusion with ROM hacks (which is also due a rename as soon as I decide on a better one). • A glitch causing uploaded resources to go missing has been fixed, and all missing resources have been re-attached.
About: • Removed my name from the bottom of the site and replaced it with an About page.
Logo: • I changed the site's logo (on the default and Night themes). You can find a link to the new promotion banners for your stream / bio in About > Promotion.
Game covers: • Upload function has been adjusted to allow a much smaller file size, at the cost of an extra second of processing, but no loss of quality. Applies to images uploaded as of now, so feel free to re-upload to get a much faster-loading image for your game. • They can now be any shape! Example.. They do look slightly awkward when varying sizes are grouped together, but at least there isn't as much emphasis on Series views anymore. Again, re-upload.
Next, I'll be tackling a few smaller bugs that people have reported (yes, including that annoying one causing threads to open in two tabs upon middle-clicking).
In case Time reference is not clear, Relative means 2 days ago, and Absolute means 2014-11-16.
If you want any date formats and stuff, let me know.
The hover menu for series worked when we had like 16 series, but lately the site's really been growing and that menu got extremely bloated. Navigating to games in Other was also kind of a pain.
The Games menu is now its own page, and you can view games under 5 different lists. It sets a cookie, so next time you open it, you'll go straight to your list of choice. Opening a link with a # will also take you straight to the right tab.
I guess this won't be used that much since the search bar is better for quick navigation, but I hope someone'll get some use out of it, and I certainly hope nobody will miss the old hover menu too much.
Thanks guys (y)
You can use it to search for anything on the site.
It also searches by multiple fields, so you can search for games by either their full name, or by their abbreviation (eg, smb2, if it's actually been specified), and you can search users by their name (with or without special characters - you're welcome Gaël ;)), or by their Twitter, Twitch, Hitbox or YouTube usernames.
I'll make it work a little better over time, such as allowing pressing down to select your choice.
ADMIN UPDATE 4/14/2021: With the release of the Support Hub, all feedback should now be submitted here - https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/supporthub/give-feedback
PREVIOUS MESSAGE: Or in other words, what do you hate about the site?
Be brutal. :slight_smile:
This feature was half-finished for months and I just decided to complete it this evening. There are now three types of colour themes available to you:
• New themes for browsing the site (see Settings), more of those will be added soon. • You can create a theme for your profile. I hope you know what hex colour codes are. You can then select that theme in Settings. • Moderators can create themes for any games they moderate. (A side note to the mods, you can now also upload a mini icon for any series that you moderate in Edit series.)
There are a lot of options when creating a theme, so I'm trusting you guys not to make anything hideously ugly, or else I'll have to start looking into simplifying it to selecting a single colour :P
That's right, SpeedRunRecords is no more. I managed to get speedrun.com for $3,500 :D
I also added URL abbreviations for games. For example:
www.speedrunrecords.com/Grand_Theft_Auto_Vice_City => www.speedrun.com/gtavc
I hope everybody doesn't mind logging in again (it's the cost of changing domain). I also added a reset password option in case anybody's forgotten.
More updates soon (y)
The site's been growing a bit lately, and I just wanted to share some recent changes:
• Millisecond support has been added for leaderboards (optionally enabled by mods of each game) • Extra variables are enabled for each game (again, enabled by mods) • The leaderboards will now load a lot more quickly • The categories for leaderboards are now selectable from the headings, instead of a drop-down menu • The double run submission glitch has been fixed • You can now have multiple spots on the leaderboard for each console/platform you used • We also recently got the /half-life series set up, and we've had a few new users due to that. • Individual level leaderboards are almost finished; I'm currently making them all display nicely on a chart. • A new name colour is available - Fuchsia PogChamp • A hitbox field has been added to your profiles. I'll get hitbox streams to show in the Streams page as soon as they improve their API to allow that. • For moderators rejecting runs, they will be asked to give a reason which will be visible to the player • Notifications have been added. It's very basic for now but I'll improve the functionality soon (so that you can see more than the 15 latest). • When your run has been approved, you will get a notification telling you so • You can now Like posts. Try it out ↑ You will get a notification when someone Likes your post
As for stats, we're having about 125 users online and 9,000 hits every day, about 8 new users every day, and 473 users total
More updates soon!
Twitch changed some things around recently, so all of the videos here were just displaying as black boxes. Kind of irresponsible of Twitch, if you ask me. Luckily, all of the embedded videos here are generated automatically, so I was easily able to fix them all instrantly, but there are hundreds of sites out there where Twitch videos have been embedded statically, all of which are now broken.
gg Twitch (y)
Anyway, thanks to everybody for letting me know about it.
Just want to apologise to everybody who's been waiting for new features.
I've been really busy with work lately, but I should get some time very soon (Y)
That's right, no more browsers freezing by opening a thread with 100 selfies.
Streams are now working PogChamp
If you go to a game and click Streams, you'll see streams for that game. What's more, is if you go to a game series and click Streams, you'll see all streams for every game in that series.
To get yours to load, make sure you've set your Twitch in your profile!
• • Resources • Individual Levels leaderboards • • Search bar • Private messages • • • User comments on runs • • Settings • Polish up the site's HTML • Themes
Let me know if I've forgotten anything / there's something you'd like prioritised.
I've been working with Lighnat0r the past while, and we finally have the new leaderboards set up here PogChamp
Hopefully we'll have the resources / guides set up soon, and of course the streams page.
Drop in and give us a adamTenderLove
I've been working on this site for the past few months, and while it's not complete yet, I've opened the doors early for the GE/PD community.
The place is a little feature-lacking right now, but, in a very basic sense, it is working. I threw these forums together in about a week and I am continuously adding more features, so with a little patience, you can be on the ground floor or what hopefully turns out to be a successful site ?
Feel free to shoot me any suggestions / requests you have.
