Apologies if this has been addressed somewhere else but is there a setting for email notifications on runs submitted and forum posts submitted?
This would greatly improve my moderating abilities on a semi-active speedrun game and its categories

Not yet :(
[quote=king] Is there a way for game mods to edit what is and is not a required field for a submission? If not then this would be very helpful [/quote] It's possible to set requirements on certain things such as video, but not everything. For variables specifically I hope to be able to implement a better system soon which will allow mods to choose whether it is required or not.
[quote] Also, every time I try to edit the settings for http://www.speedrun.com/mario_kart_wii_ctgp , the changes never save. [/quote] The settings page for ROM hacks has a tendency to ignore the ROM hacks own settings and take the settings from the game it belongs to instead. I'll look into it.

I'm actually trying to make the settings the same as the game, but I think you get the point ;P
I'd personally rather not give every user access to the game/series requests pending. Recently added games/series I'm somewhat more fine with on a conceptual level, but I feel it will commonly be used to create controversy.
Pending submissions, we do have a backlog on some unmoderated games right now (about 50-75 runs). There is definitely some need to clear that out.
Are these lists actually functionally useful or do they just encourage people to give their 2 cents on everything? We can add more full moderators if there's more need for assistance/oversight.
All settings should now save correctly on the Edit ROM Hack page.
[quote=i_o_l] A way to see pending submissions and game/series requests would be nice. [/quote] I agree it would be nice to see your own submissions, but I think there are some things that are more pressing to implement, which will in turn make implementing this easier.

Alright, it's been about a year since i've been on the site I might as well give some general feedback.
From speedrunrecords.com to speedrun.com, i'd say there were major improvements compared to last year. Although messaging still isn't done....
Anyways, the problems that have been reported has been fixed rater quickly by mods and admins. Moderation system is still a bit broken from what i've seen. And i'm still waiting for the big forum update and the html fix as it's frustrating on mobile to have the search bar of the screen.
Custom themes can bring creativity to runners, time zones differences, and seeing the lastest runs on the homepage are all my personal favorites. But overall still huge improvement from speedrunrecords.com
What do you think of having ILs (and misc categories?) not show up on the front page latest runs? It can get pretty crowded with extremely niche stuff.
My opinion is that it's still good to have this kind of stuff showing like the full runs, but maybe it could be shown differently, I don't know yet how though.
A couple things...
Is there a way to make it so that showing all systems only shows the fastest time from a user if a user has submitted on multiple systems? I believe it already does this if a user has a time across multiple regions. I couldn't find an option, and this looks messy:

Also, any updates on having a variable for specific categories rather than have a variable apply across all categories?

[/quote] When favouriting and customizing your own front page etc will be implemented, you'll definitely be able to choose this. It'll probably take a while though before that's actually done.
By default it might indeed be nice to focus a bit more on more mainstream and have the front page slightly less crowded by niche stuff. However I don't think not showing ILs would actually accomplish this. Not showing misc categories sounds sensible though.

http://www.speedrun.com/dk64#No_Levels_Early [/quote] I've added options on the Edit game page to be able to determine whether runs for different regions/platforms should obsolete eachother.
[quote] Also, any updates on having a variable for specific categories rather than have a variable apply across all categories? [/quote] The backend update needed to implement it is partially done, but the frontend for it will still take a bit of work. But it's definitely one of the things I'd like to finish sooner rather than later.

I'm not sure exactly what the current logic looks like, but I think the ideal implementation should be something like
1: If two runs on two different platforms show up in the same search, only the faster one should be shown if the "option" is selected, else show both. (Or maybe invert the default, I'm not sure.) 2: If the search list is then sorted to only show a specific platform, show the specific platform run regardless of the "option".

Can you elaborate on this? We're still working out some of the smaller functionality details, but is there anything actually broken at the moment?

I'll elaborate a bit, hopefully this'll make it more clear how it works:
If 'Regions obsolete each other' is enabled, if you have a run on USA / NTSC which is 1:00 and a run on EUR / PAL which is 2:00, only the NTSC run will show up on the leaderboard. If the option is disabled, both will show up.
'Regions obsolete each other' is enabled and 'Platforms obsolete each other' is disabled by default as this is the way leaderboards already behaved before the options were implemented.
Of course if you set it to show only EUR / PAL runs, a 2:00 PAL run will show up even if you have a 1:00 NTSC run, regardless of the option.
Thanks for the update on the category thing, as well as the implementation of the obsolete runs feature
I found an easy way to get alot of views on a run page.
What you do is you go to a run and you just keep holding F5. If you hold it for 5 seconds the run page gains 50 extra views.
