Answering @justkeith's post here because this turned into a feedback piece: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/5uurm

tldr; too many categories = no graph showing I see that the devs recently changed the graph so that the categories are shown below the graph. It seems that, with too many categories, the graph is pushed out of sight.

Devs before ELO have said in the past that the wr history graph uses a 3rd-party library. This was their main argument for not adding the ability to click on records to see runs for a very long time. However, clearly they found a workaround for it and so work can be done on this library to make a more customized graph for the site. However, I would say to abandon the library and work with a fresh one, or make one from scratch.

The graphs have always needed a little more attention. I've been asking for these two updates for 4+ years: Multiple records in one day: https://www.speedrun.com/post/didpg Toggle all categories on/off: https://www.speedrun.com/post/7xwjd

I would love to see the WR redesigned to account for the following:

  • Things mentioned above, and current functionality (clicking on records to be taken to that run)
  • The graph has a set height that does not change (fixing @justkeith's issue)
  • Date adjustable, so you can zoom in and not try to filter through piles of circles at times of high WR activity
  • Non-WR comparisons, such as comparing multiple users PBs over time to see how they began, how they developed, and when they stopped playing specific categories.
  • And ...I'll probably add to this later.

Edit 7/27/2023: The WR Graph is now date and time adjustable! Awesome! Also, it has a fixed height. Double awesome! Also, the categories have been fixed. Superb!

@Oxknifer It would be nice to be able to see some things like average time over time (or top five runners, top ten, top 25, etc.), letting mods show what runs appear on the WR history graph (in games with many categories), and allowing for customizability of it (perhaps the mods can put the player's icon instead of just a dot, or give a description of what new strategies were used or what the significance of a run was in comparison to others) for new runners to help get the speed "lore" of a game.

make it so other people can see your pending runs if you enable it in settings

@Dare, all awesome ideas! I especially would love to see more information on the "lore" of the run. It's strange to see a huge time improvement in the graph but have no idea what exactly saved the time. Or even, if it was a small improvement, it'd be cool to know what was happening around that time in the community, such as, if two players were racing to get a specific time. Maybe some sort of customizable "timeline" feature underneath the graph that mods could customize would be epic.

The moderation hub game list should be sorted primarily by number of pending requests, then alphabetically.

Example: RogueJack: Roguelike Blackjack - 7 Frozen Free Fall: Icy Shot - 5 Little Fin - 5 Jack Frost - 3 Cursor 10 - 2 Barbie: Magic Genie Adventure - 0 Bush's Bean Dash - 0 Cat Jump - 0 Cursor 10 [2nd Session] - 0 Fast Finger -0 Tiny Tomb - 0 Treemaker - 0

Or, it should be sorted alphabetically by number of pending requests greater than 1 and then alphabetically by number of pending requests equal to 0.

Cursor 10 - 2 Frozen Free Fall: Icy Shot - 5 Jack Frost - 3 Little Fin - 5 RogueJack: Roguelike Blackjack - 7 Barbie: Magic Genie Adventure - 0 Bush's Bean Dash - 0 Cat Jump - 0 Cursor 10 [2nd Session] - 0 Fast Finger -0 Tiny Tomb - 0 Treemaker - 0

Actually, I think it'd be nice to (well, have these as options, but...) be able to sort by age of oldest run per game, so that you can work your way from the back of your own queue easier

This has been an issue I think as long as I’ve been on the site, and maybe it doesn’t happen with all browsers, but on the mobile site, forum posts with links in them often run off the side of the page and so are unreadable. Example: post two of this:

Add a system to make users be able to have followers. I know what you will all say, sr.c isn't a social media and if I want such a thing I should instead use Instagram or Snapchat etc., but it's honestly never a bad addition to have, really. I would much rather see runs of my followed runners on the main page instead of seeing every run from all my followed games.

Also, please fix the flags for Ohio and all the other countries that are missing one. It hurts my OCD.

Please consider adding a button for the rules to be shown on the edit run page and the Moderation Hub.

This will help users submitting and reviewing runs to have easier access to the rules instead of having to open a new tab and review them from the main leaderboard.

Followed games are out of alphabetical order

Edit in response to the next three comments: I checked, my settings are on alphabetical and the games are not auto-sorted alphabetically when I follow a new game. Since others are reporting this bug, I'll send in a formal bug report.

@Oxknifer They are not supposed to be alphabetical order. They are the order you arranged them on your profile.

You can choose a setting to make it alphabetical. I put that setting on but it still isn’t for me.

I also have the setting as "alphabetical", but sometimes when I follow new games, the list gets messed up. The temporary solution is to go to your settings --> Followed Games, then choose "custom" and then switch back to "alphabetical". This will trigger a new sort on the list, fixing its order.

At least until you follow the next game...

Elo, please add the breadcrumb back to the main forums from game forums. I used that button a lot.

Next to the name of this thread, there are buttons for “forums” and “the site.” The “forums” button no longer exists for game forums.
