https://i.imgur.com/8D5ZQZv.png both of those links show an error 404 for me (Chrome Version 69.0.3497.100 (Official Build) (64-bit)) but the page still loads properly (other than that I had to F5 an extra time for the background picture as usual, which btw is still a thing, idk if anyone ever checked on why it happens)

@Mitsunee "I had to F5 an extra time for the background picture as usual, which btw is still a thing, idk if anyone ever checked on why it happens"

From what I understand that's a bug with Chrome itself, not an issue with the site. That being said, considering how long it's been a thing I think it's fair to say that Google doesn't have any intention of fixing it, so it might be worth putting in some kind of workaround to prevent it, assuming such a thing is reasonably possible.

such a bug is news to me, I've never had any problems loading big image files on any other site, including the ones I've made myself. I did some digging around and had the background picture appear once I had opened the theme.php in the sources panel and then closed the devtools. The only anomaly I've noticed connected to that file is that the <link> element uses & instead of just &, but chrome seems to translate that around correctly as soon as I opened that link in a new tab https://i.imgur.com/fdhxy76.png

Have there been any recent issues that could have caused some consoles to disappear from a games' list of consoles? E.G. WiiVC being dropped from a console list without it appearing the game's audit log for game updates.

Are all sub badges supposed to be available in profile settings? I have the ability to select 1 month through 1 year sub badges, but none past that.

I intended to ask about that as well. It seems like speedrun.com detects the sub badge once and then caches it forever, so updates never reflect here.

It's retrieved from the API within a certain section of the json. Twitch changed it in the last revision. (I believe when affiliates could have their own was the last big change). I don't have intentions to "fix" this as of right now and it'll probably be implemented in a theme change.

So it appears for me that some pages have a white background while others have the main site theme, while I set it that every page on the site has my own profile layout. Few pages actually keep my own layout. Earlier today I didn't get the main speedrun.com site theme, so I'm not sure why I'm suddenly getting it now. Any idea as to why this happens?

Edit: Apparently the site theme was set back to "main" after changing my username. The white background is still a problem though!

I'm having trouble changing my profile picture. I am on Mobile, have tried both mobile and desktop modes. After browsing to find the new image, its name appears in the box, I press save. Nothing.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance!

Yeah, clear your cache. CTRL-F5

Yeah, Ctrl+F5 on mobile...

Okay there's probably some setting to reset it.

United States

Usually whatever mobile browser you're using will have a menu option to do the same thing.

Sometimes the picture doesn't change because of it's size (game page/theme backgrounds and profile icons/pictures).

Which is annoying since you can't tell when it didn't work until after you save it and check that it did in fact, not work.

@Imaproshaman Check if refreshing your cache (Ctrl+F5) fixes that.

United States

It seems to be more based on the size of the picture.

Bulgaria

Not really a bug, but I'll comment on this here since it was brought up previously. In addition to the caching and updating issues the way the sub badges are implemented at the moment is bandwidth inefficient and visually inferior. It uses the 72x72 version from the twitch cdn and downscales it to 18x18, when there is already an 18x18 one stored there in the first place. The different sizes are usually tweaked to look better at their native scale and better optimized for dark backgrounds.

In Spyro Reignighted Trilogy I an trying to submit my run for a race, which is a category displayed, but only Time trial is an option on the drop down when I submit my run.

Trying to add a game to the Silent Hill series and it just pops an "Error, Invalid Game" message instead of actually creating a new board.

this is happening to two of the series mods

@Liv I found out what I was doing wrong. No fix needed. Thanks!

Probably already mentioned somewhere in this thread, but every time I submit a coop run it switches the players around. For example, if there are 2 players, player 1 becomes player 2 and vice versa. Iirc, submitted a 4 player one once and player 1 became player 4 haha. :P
