If it subtracts time due to a score bonus, then perhaps you should use the true IGT instead of the score bonus IGT. Either way, full zero times are a sign your timing method is flawed.

Worth noting that there's also a technical reason for this. The site treats 0.00 as empty/non-existent, since there are situations where you may have the option to include an additional timing method but choose not to (there's an adjacent issue with milliseconds that has the same cause). You need to have a time attached to your run, 0.00 is "empty", and therefore it isn't valid.

This isn't necessarily unfixable, but it would be a major change in how the site works internally, which is a lot of trouble just to account for this relatively rare edge-case, especially when it arguably should not be fixed for the reasons previously discussed.

Extending this request: https://www.speedrun.com/post/ldqou

If mods were able to edit run information and watch run videos on the same page, it would be great to have in-house retiming on the same page. So while watching a run on YouTube, a mod can advance frames by using "." and "," Then they could easily copy debug information and paste it into "start frame" and "end frame" fields, much like is done in Slush's Retimer: https://github.com/Slush0Puppy/retime Finally, the user would find the FPS in "Stats for Nerds," and put that into a field, as well. Srcom would calculate the final time and parse it into the Time fields that one would usually find in the "Edit Run" page. Lastly, for documentation purposes, a meaningful comment would be added to the run description, such as: "Username (mod): Time starts at 13.050 and ends at 1:26:30.367 at 60 fps to get a final time of 1h 26m 17s 317ms."

You could get help from the two individuals who have created frame-perfect retimers for speedrunners: @SlushPuppy @dadinfinitum (creator of https://mattbraddock.com/yt-frame-timer/ )

When you're logged out, some of the more popular games have cool themes and background images however when you log in, they all disappear and you're left with the default settings. I looked at my profile and looked at changing themes but there isn't an option to and I don't know why this is. Am I just missing something or is there not an option at all.

@Tadyman Custom themes only show up in Night Mode, could that be it?

United States

@Tadyman : Settings - Disable Custom Themes - if you want to see the custom themes, have this be unchecked.

Feature Request: Add a total runner count next to the ranks of runs on the profile page

Summary: Often when you view a Speedrunner's profile, you may see many 1st and 2nd place ranking runs they have. However, the actual accomplishment they have achieved is not immediately recognizable, as those runs could be of either popular/competitive games, or of obscure/inactive games. To help solve this, include "rank / # of runners" on the runner profile page, as shown below.

This allows a 1st place run like Cheese's SM64 120 run out of 286 runners to instantly be recognizable as an incredible feat while showing that a 1st place Bubsy 3D: Furbitten Planet 100% out of only 2 runners run is not really a big deal.

@Liv Alright you have changed my mind on the matter. My post was directly made to combat the "Free WR" mindset, but I suppose # players is not an accurate metric for the amount of work done on a run.

Alright how about another feature request regarding runner profiles.

Add the ability to highlight the runs you want while all the other runs go to the bottom. If I have a run that I am super proud of, I can select it to show at the very top of my profile while meme runs where not much effort has been put in will be at the bottom as they are not as important. This would probably work better on a per game basis for IL runs.

A small suggestion;

If a sub-games/resources page is empty, simply do not show it in the sidebar at all. This makes it all the cleaner. In other words - if it can be done for discord sidebar links, why can't it be done for other empty links? Regular users cannot contribute to them, and the majority of games do not have sub-games.

[quote=Treya]Regular users cannot contribute to them[/quote]

In the case of Resources, this is not true, regular users can add them (I believe you must have run in that game to be able to so). I do agree that it would make sense to hide empty sub-games for non-moderators though, yeah.

Slight annoyance I have:

Notifications only count as read once you click one of them. Having a "mark all as read" button would be convenient.

@Ignas They should be all marked as read as soon as you open the menu. Not sure what you're experiencing?

Can we able to type dates with the given format and not have it go to the present every time. What's the point of entering the time if we're forced to use the calendar? And it's incredibly tedious if a run is from 2008 and have to click all the way back there. Please can this be fixed to enter dates and press enter to set it.

@Pac You still have to open a thread in a new tab for "new" to go away. (It would be nice to be able mute or mark as read threads but it's not a big deal personally.)

Is it possible to have toggle-able options for Subcategories and Individual Levels to remove the need to duplicate variables that they may not apply to. This is something that would help a great deal of moderators in keeping boards clean when editing them as well as make it easier to add new categories to the boards that may or may not use all subcategories or variables.

^ Having many different copies of a variable that each need to be updated with any rule change is a major pain. Can't understate how much quality of life this change would bring.

Ability to set a Discord link for a series that is set as the default for all games in the series. In case the link expires or becomes unusable, this makes the link easy to change for all games in the series. (Of course, still allow users to change this discord link to something else if needed)

Enhanced tagging: Now that messages are active, I've realized it would be really nice to type "@" and then have that pull up a search bar that functions exactly like the search bar in the header. There you can search for any user, game, series, or marathon and include that in your message or forum post. So instead of navigating away from the page to search for the name of a leaderboard and copy the URL to paste into my message, I can just type it out right there.
