In case anyone tries to use the forums to contact me about category or other issues, I like to at least check the game forums. But the game forum list is so crazy long at this point, it would be very helpful to me to have the forums of games I mod all in one list, so I can see at once if there are new posts in them.
Thanks,
The TimeSplitTracker version linked above is very old. Current version per Dunnius's channel page (http://twitch.tv/dunnius):

Neither was I to be honest. I assumed it wouldn't work. But I tried it and was pleasantly surprised.
Actually the embed works for people not logged in. I just tried it.

The code is simple:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ext.nicovideo.jp/thumb_watch/sm22832030"></script>Change the smxxxxxx with the code for the video you want to embed.
Yeah you're allowed to use maps.
But the people who are getting the record times don't need the maps.
I have an idea on how we can do this. I could create a category for 'Romhack Any%' and then add a custom variable to let you specify which romhack you ran.
So I'd need a list of romhacks we want to support.
Shadow of Night 1, Shadow of Night 2, Shadow of Night 2 Easy, Master Quest... Any others?
Hmm. The question is would anyone other than unwary post times? :)
Thanks for the custom variable feature. I just noticed it, and it's incredibly useful for tracking whether people ran Famicom Disk system games on disk or flash cart, and what kind of flash cart it was.
Great stuff.
I have to echo the idea that OP's complaints are awfully minor.
Sure, going forward these things should be addressed, but it's hardly a high priority kind of thing.
The idea that it's "terrible" only applies to the developer experience. Users won't notice or care.
Feature request: I'd like to be able to get an RSS feed of all recent verified runs of a game. With multiple moderators I don't get to see them all pop up in the verification queue so this would be the only way I'd be sure of seeing all the new run times showing up.
Also some runners are trusted.
But yeah, there are entire communities that operate without videos. It's really common in Japan, for example, to have a time without a video.
From the main The Site forum page, I clicked the 8 to try to read the last page of this thread but it took me to the first page anyway.
That's a special case, and it could be handled. But in general the way it works now submitted times are going to have a hard time getting highlighted at all.
The cache is managed client-side based on information given by the server.
At the very least the server should be using a new filename for a new image.
OK so that's the bug then. When the image changes it needs to bust the cache.
I want to replace the placeholder Legend of Zelda background I put in.
I go to Edit Theme, I delete the current image and save. Great. it's gone. I then hit the button, pick the new file, and save... and the old image comes back.
The main page probably should show runs as they're approved not as they're submitted though, no?
