Runs were accidentally deleted while re-organizing leaderboards

Hi, I am a moderator for the Refunct leaderboard, and while I was re-organizing it to make it a bit better, all of the runs from 2 categories got deleted. Is there a way I can see the old runs, or simply have the leaderboards restored to an earlier point today?

Did you delete the category itself or add subcategories/changed something? If you didn't delete the categories themselves the runs are still there, you just need to remove whatever you added to the categories to see them and then move them around and such, like put the runs in a fake category, make your subcategories, then edit them over

Along with what Javolta said, in cases where runs were actually deleted, an admin can rollback the leaderboards and get the deleted runs back. Any runs submitted in the last 24 hours may be lost and will need to be manually re-added.

I was adding new variables and editing sub categories, and I tried changing everything back and it did not work. I can see the runs in a runners profile, however.

I had this same problem in DeadCore when I first started making subcategories, changing everything back should've worked unless there was more than just the variables and sub-categories that you changed

Only other things I changed were the rules and the names of the sub categories, and I tried switching the names back as well.

Hmm which category(s) are the ones that are affected?

Texas, USA

All of the runs in the Low% and All Cubes categories were deleted. I've been trying to add some of them back but I can't remember all of the runners of those categories so I don't know who's profiles to check

Valhalla

I just looked at some of the ghost runs, when you reverted things back for those two categories are you sure there wasn't an overlapping subcategory (where you can select the category you want for the subcategory, there's an option to have all categories affected) or anything like that when you made them causing the runs to still not show up?

Right now it has the same Subcategories and variables it had before and they are still not showing up

Valhalla

Hmm I'm not a very technical guy so it's hard for me to explain, but I know the problem, if there isn't anyone to better explain how to fix it you might just have to contact an admin like ROMaster2 said

Valhalla

Wait, I see under Markus_264's profile his Low% run had no subcategory applied with it, so that means there wasn't any subcategories at the time that run was submitted right? Do you have individual subcategories set up for each category or is it just one subcategory that spans all the categories?

One sub category across all categories, which is one of the things I was looking to change. His run was done before we created the sub category as we hadn't discovered New Game Glitch yet when he did it.

Also what is the best way to contact a site admin?

Ahh, I see, have you tried setting it to an individual category (for the moment) to see if you can see the runs again?

Valhalla

Should be a contact tab where the three horizontal dots are next to forums I think

Okay setting it to any% only brings back all of the normal category runs, so now the only thing missing is the New Game Glitch category runs

Valhalla

I'm not sure if there is an easier way, this took me FOREVER to do, but you might have to edit all the runs into temporary categories (with similar names to the ones they should be in) then apply the subcategories again, then move them all back, I think when you bring back the NGG sub the runs will come back as well

That would work, but there is still the issue of all of the New Game Glitch runs from low% and all cubes being gone
