Hello, I am pikashy, a supermod and WR holder for all "main" categories for Super Smash Bros 64.

Smash 64 already exists on the leaderboards here: https://www.speedrun.com/ssb64/full_game (I am a supermod and WR holder for all "main" categories). However, it has been requested by several runners (with no objections) to change the board layout to a "table" format (similar to https://www.speedrun.com/wr64 ). We have already outlined the majority of what we want on the leaderboards. The only remaining decisions we need to make depend on what is possible to do on this site (most notably if there is a way to have a drop down menu that can let you select a different version to display on the table).

As far as I understand, due to the complete layout change we plan on making, at the current moment, we would have to remove every run from the leaderboards, make the changes, then put all the runs back on. Given the large number of runs submitted (including obsoleted runs), I was looking for a better solution.

I was thinking of having a "new" leaderboards in place so that we can make the changes, then transfer the runs over once we're happy with the changes we have in place. Once everything is transferred over, we'd delete the old leaderboards, and continue with the new one.

If there is an easy way to do these changes without making a new leaderboard, I am open to trying out any other method. If not, is it possible to create a "new" leaderboard while we make the changes?

Note: We've tried this once before, trying to use a new leaderboards to make a change. However, one of the runners involved in that leaderboard making process (leaving the name anonymous) wanted changes to go his way, so he did his own thing, and then submitted everything with an incomplete leaderboards, resulting in two leaderboards for probably close to a year. This won't happen this time, as we already know what we want to have, so the transition should be rather quick.

Thank you for any help you are able to offer

Sorry for the bump, but in the "The Site" forum list, it showed that this post was created 48 years ago (Dec 31, 1969), so it was near the bottom of the list. Bumping so that this hopefully shows up.

The tables are just ILs with the default view changed to ILs, which is why they pop up instead of the full-game leaderboard (this option is found right above the save button in "Edit Game"). So you can create the IL Leaderboards while still having the full-games one up, once your done you can just delete all full-game categories and everything should work. Maybe admins could help you move runs over, although im not too sure about that.

I didn't realize that's all it was. In that case, we don't need another leaderboards at all. Thank you for the reply <(^o^)>
