I've been on multiple different games and this just popped into my mind. I'm not sure about how people feel about this, but I feel as though as I look down my speedrun.com page, my 3rd, 2nd and 1st (which I don't have many of :'(((( ) look quite out of place and a bit disorganised. This is extremely nit picky, but I feel as though adding a customisation ability for the user to change their personal 3rd, 2nd and 1st place icons would make a better looking interface. Of course, when you're looking down a game's feed, the first second and third place would be their own personal icons (for instance SMS' gold, silver and bronze shines), but on your own feed you could make it so that they're all the same and custom to you.
Also, I was wondering whether anyone has thought about adding a feature where we could look at TASes on a game's page for those that have one - potentially a little section of the page showing the best known TAS. In my opinion this would be quite destructive to have it at the top of the page as this may confuse newbies to the site, but maybe a section at the bottom of the page or on the side showing TASes for the few games lucky enough to have them would be cool.
Thoughts?
"Also, I was wondering whether anyone has thought about adding a feature where we could look at TASes on a game's page for those that have one - potentially a little section of the page showing the best known TAS." In my opinion, some TAS section would be interesting, especially for games I TAS. However, I think it would be really confusing for newbies. So I would use it if it was a thing, but I am not very for it.
Perhaps you could have TAS as another page instead of on the main leaderboards with a description of what a TAS is for new people.
I'd agree with that. I hadn't given these a huge thought, they were just ideas that popped into my head and ones I wanted to materialise before I forgot them. I can understand that it would be confusing for newbies, but I just feel as though something, somewhere should mention TASes, because boy, they're fun to watch.
I had suggested a user setting to individually allow removal of favicons, themes, and trophies. This probably isn't too much work, but I don't know where the coders would want to prioritize it. As for customizing your own, I think the benefit is pretty minimal. You could have a script overwrite the site icons in your browser if you really wanted to.
As far as more stuff in the sidebar, it's already bloated and needs heavy reorganization. I'm hesitant to support adding more code on top of it before it's refactored. It needs to support arbitrary configurable types of things and not have a case for every single named thing individually. It's a good idea certainly, but it just stacks more on a suboptimal sidebar handling system at the moment in my opinion.
