On the speedrun page I'm a supermod of https://www.speedrun.com/kam , before one of the updates (in the past 6 months?) all columns showed, but now the "Units Lost" column is "minimized" somehow.
It was showing before the update, but not now. I checked my variable settings (and even tried to change a few things), but it's still not showing.
Note: This variable takes user-defined entries. (And no matter how much I zoom in or out, the leaderboard is still not showing the column.)
Is there a new setting that I'm not aware of to fix this? Or is there a column limit?
Yes, it's something that was introduced to the site in an update. No you can't disable it. Yes there is a limit of up to 3 columns, between timing methods and variables. For instance, note that in Minecraft Java, because this game has two timing methods, only one variable can be shown before the rest are hidden.
As for why this policy is in effect... it's because the site owners like being bureaucratic and forcing a uniform look on all the leaderboards. Or something.
