It is indeed following games and better notifications (as well as a bunch of backend cleanup). I've been a bit busy the last week or so, meaning it's not quite almost done yet. I'll be at ESA soon too, so I can't work on it then. So it will definitely be a bit after ESA, I'm aiming for before August since I'll be on holiday again then. Also it is the next update (that I'm working on, anyway), unless there are any bad bugs ofc, those get 'hotfix' priority.

After some investigation the only cause for the issue I could find was rounding errors in the browser when zooming in. While there is not a lot we can do about that, I did change the image a bit to hopefully avoid the problem. Let me know if it's solved now (give it an hour or so for the image to be updated in your browser cache).

[quote=1UpsForLife] 1) If possible, the option to be able to middle/scroll wheel click runs to open that run's page without leaving the leaderboard. 2) The option to maybe see a notification on the globe in the top right when someone replies to your post? This seems like a stretch since currently I don't think there's a way to reply to a specific post. Still thought i'd mention it though. [/quote]

1. Yes, this is clearly something that would be an improvement. I'll have to check how it's actually done though.
2. Indeed, this exact thing is a bit tricky since there's no way to really reply as such, but in the upcoming update you will be able to get a notification whenever there's a post in a specific forum, which could possibly be extended to specific threads later on.

Also, I fixed the thread. Not sure how it got broken, but it should be ok now. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, busy week.

[quote=slowfreq] an idea i've had for awhile is the ability to comment on submitted runs. [/quote] As kirkq already said it's something that certainly needs to be thought about before it's implemented. Perhaps you could open a separate thread about it and get a bit more feedback (sorry Gyoo OpieOP )

[quote=Gyoo] You should add a way to prevent multiple posts when submitting a run or even a forum thread. [/quote] Absolutely, IRL stuff and the following update have been distracting me from implementing something but it's certainly still on the todo list.

[quote=Skull64] I'd like if people were able to edit the comments for their runs without having to get them verified again. [/quote] Makes sense, I'll check out how this should be implemented after the following update.

[quote=Madzinah] it could be great to have a "Mark all forums as read" [/quote] Agreed but since the forums code is kind of a complete mess, this is not easy to implement. I'm actually trying to more or less stay away from the forums code because there's so much that needs to be changed about it, but when there's some cleanup/overhaul done to it, this is certainly one of the features that needs to be implemented.

[quote=swingflip] How about an advertise your runs forum. [/quote] Not sure if this would actually be particularly used and why it would be needed in addition to the Speedrunning forum. Also http://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/ kinda serves this purpose already imo. And again, the forums code is a mess, so adding forums either adds to the mess or is hard to do right.

[quote=CrystalChaos] Suggestion: record the placement of runs when submitted/approved so that people can see the original rank of each run as well as the current rank (could show this on user profile pages maybe) [/quote] Being able to see more statistics (such as the placement over time) would be nice, when there's time to look into stats I'll look into this as well. [quote] Also, the lines above/below some region symbols might be a bug? [/quote] Yes, that looks like a bug. On what pages is this happening and what browser are you using?

Or you could run a better game instead.

First off, I can agree the current setup is not perfect. However, I'm not sure if it's problematic enough to warrant the change you suggest (which will make the logic more complicated, thus the page slower (to some extent)) or if it will even be a (noticeable) improvement.

[quote] if date submitted > 1 week old then use run date. elseif date submitted < 1 week then use verification date. [/quote]

I guess you mean the other way around (or I'm misinterpreting), as: If someone imports a leaderboard today, date submitted == date verified == today so this logic would not prevent flooding. if a run was submitted more than a week ago, it was also done more than a week ago. So using the run date would never get it on the front page.

Having said that, the front page is already limited to show a maximum of 3 runs per game at a time, so while flooding is not impossible, it's not incredibly likely either.

Anyway another problem with this is the arbitrary 1 week boundary: runs 6 days ago don't show up, but runs 7 days ago do? That kinda feels like it goes against the whole 'Latest runs' idea, although the problem might be less pronounced with a 1/2 day boundary, idk.

For the upcoming following update, the front page logic is already going to be changed, as it will prioritize showing runs in followed games. The reason I mention this is that hopefully it will kind of prevent this issue from being as noticeable by showing users the runs they want to see. What I want to say is, I can see what you're getting at but I'd suggest waiting until the following update, and if it turns out you still have concerns then, bring this up again :)

I'll have to give it some thought about the exact implementation, but I like the idea.

[quote=Fatzke]IN![/quote] THIS

Once the update is done you'll be able to follow whatever game you like (eg games you moderate/run :) ) which will also make their forums more easily accessible. And if you want to be really sure you don't miss anything, you can enable getting a notification whenever someone posts in the forum of a followed game (you will be able to enable this for each individual followed game).

[quote=PackSciences] Being able to turn the "misc categories" to "visible" by default on a profile page. [/quote] Agreed, good suggestion.

[quote=mobiusman] this is a pretty low priority feature request, but just something I thought might be helpful - the ability for mods to add notes to runs that are currently pending verification, if they need some kind of discussion before being accepted or rejected. [/quote] Could be a good inclusion for a moderation update I also mentioned in my previous post in this thread. At the same time though this wouldn't really be necessary anymore if that message system ever does happen.

[quote=xetrov] Any plans to add HTTPS support? [/quote] While I agree https support is good, it's not really a priority on the to-do list at this point.

[quote=various people] [...] moderator logs [...] [/quote] They'd be helpful in some form or other, keep the discussion going.

[quote=BetaM] Forum posts - Seeing 'post by X deleted by Y' instead of nothing. [/quote] Yeah, something like this needs to happen.

Thanks, I'll fix both when I get a chance.

Thanks for the suggestions, the initial update will be restricted to following games, following users will have to be added after that (but is planned). As for following a specific category, that might be a bit tricky to implement, could you give some examples of when that would be preferable over following the entire game?

There is ofc the splits i/o field when submitting a run but I think this is about the Resources pages for games. Those pages include a Splits section which currently only accepts zip/rar/7z files.

For a future update, I do agree it would be much better if it would at the very least accept and embed splits i/o links as well. Regarding uploading .lss etc files I was thinking that it could then automatically submit the splits to splits i/o and then embed it like that.

That'll probably have to happen some time after the notification + favourite/follow games update though, so don't expect it to be done like tomorrow :)

Seems the foreground got broken a while back, should be working again now!

What I'm currently working on will add a whole bunch of notifications you can enable, including notifications for games you've favourited (i.e. the possibility of favouriting games will also be added). In addition, for each type of notification you can also choose to receive an email when you get a notification (which will default to off). The scope of this update is limited to favouriting games, but more could/will happen at a later date. Subscribing to entire forums will be possible after the update, subscribing to specific threads not yet, but it's a logical extension.

Since it's all still a work in progress I don't want to be going into too much detail since some things will probably removed/added before it's finished.

Actually the problem with display: block; is that it pushes the floated content on the right down. Nevertheless, you're right in that it needs to be fixed. It should be ok now, using: display: inline-block; position: absolute; left: 50%; transform: translateX(-50%);

Thanks, I've updated it (the other links should all be up-to-date again as well, although they weren't quite as bad).

While I realize there is no real 'mission statement' for the resources page, the goal of the page currently is more to provide users with a short set of things they need to get started, not an exhaustive list of every streaming tool, every timer etc. That'd make the page as it currently is way too messy.

Mishira is a good example of this. While I don't want to deter anyone from using it (in fact, I even posted about it when it was first released http://www.speedrun.com/Streaming/thread/iny3g ), as Madzinah mentioned it's still an alpha and I don't feel like it would fit in a short list of 'essential' resources.

(Sidenote: It seems that Mishira hasn't been updated at all since its first release 10 months ago, so it's probably dead?)

Guess I didn't really mention it before, but every type of notification will become optional after that update. So that part is already guaranteed.

Sounds good. This fits in really well with a bigger update I'm currently working on so I'll add it with that.

One question though: Would you want that notification regardless of your own rank? That'd mean that if you're last on the leaderboard, you'd get a notification for every single run. Keep in mind that there will also already be an option to get a notification whenever a run is added in specific games.

The 'random mods' were because your game was added to the Spider-Man series, and they are series mods for that. Disabling 'Series moderators have power here' removes them, which I've done for you. I've also restored your super mod status (and added a confirmation for it in the future which other destructive operations already had).
