I am primarily a Ghouls 'n Ghosts speedrunner, but it's currently below a 58th place NES Tetris time.
That irks me. Is there any possible way I can change the order of the games for that to appear on the bottom?
The order depends on when you ran it, the most recent ones are always at the top. There's currently no way to change it
I suppose this would actually be a cool feature, if, like you say, you primarily played one game, and wanted it to be more prominent for example.
Could be interesting!
I'd much rather be able to shuffle the order of my games than have private messaging Kappa
Can't tell if that's sarcasm but I probably actually would prefer that, I still don't really think pms are really needed and will just end up with a bunch of spam, but itll be as it is.
I wasn't being sarcastic, I would honestly rather be able to shuffle my games around, sorry sarcasm gets lost in text.
" Is there any possible way I can change the order of the games for that to appear on the bottom?"
There isn't, but it would be neat if there was a way to organize your pages other than by date submitted (such as ABC order or, in this case, ranking on a given lb).
Until then, you got to improve your G'n'G runs and then never run anything again so you have no more recent runs. :(
How many people do you think look at your profile? I don't think it really matters much. I'd much prefer to have messages first
@TheGreatToddman if your message was sincere why did you put a Kappa next to it?
I don't think messages will really improve the site, probably just add a bunch of spam, I don't see any real practical use
@diggitydingdong "How many people do you think look at your profile?"
Well.. maybe you are surprised how many people click on your profile.. Because I do. If you make a comment, mod a game or first place at a leaderboard. I'll probably click you to see what kind of games you did a run of :^) I am generally curious and this way I find more games that I might like.
I am impressed if you are on top of the leaderboard of OOT, SM64 or any kind of game. I am impressed if you did a run of lots of games. I am impressed if you did 50+ different Roblox map speedruns (lol yea it really impresses me no joke)
So, I don't think ordering games on your profile is a bad idea at all.
@Seydie All I'm saying is, I've been dying for a way to contact people on the site that doesn't require some form of external communication, because that could require me to set up some account on another site I don't particularly want. Some people that are active on src don't want to download discord and this is frustrating as my main form of communication, and many don't have anything on their page at all. This makes contacting them frustratingly hard, especially as a moderator of a semi-popular game.
I don't see the point of implementing a useless feature on the site just to impress people on the off chance they click on my profile? Like, it's not a bad idea as in that it won't harm the site any but I just think there's more important matters at hand.
Honestly if you're a speedrunner you should definitely have a discord either way. Like you said, it's the main form of communication, and even if site PMs are implemented it will still be the main form of communication. Many people don't log into SRC for months but will the second you ask them to through discord. The speedrun of the game is discussed primarily through the discord server for the game, for strats, rule changes, new glitches found, ect. The only thing PMs will help to achieve is a way for people to easily contact people for those that actually look at the site on a daily basis.
I have no idea why messages are being compared to re-ordering games on your profile. They are both very different features that take very different amounts of effort to implement. Messages would take a lot of time and effort to implement (and honestly wouldn't be all that beneficial, but that's a topic for another discussion), whereas something like this would be relatively straightforward. It's not like they're both are massive long-term projects and we could only possibly get one of them in the near future, so it doesn't make sense to decide whether we want massive feature or pretty small feature.
Saying "I'd rather have messages" is a pretty stupid reason to not implement a feature, especially considering messages aren't being worked on at all right now.
Goodness gracious, I apologize that my comment about PM's spiraled this entire post out of control, I didn't expect it to warrant such scrutiny.
Yes, I would like for us to be able to shuffle our records around. My main reason is the extension in my Twitch profile populates my PB's in the order that they're listed on here. @EmeraldAly the Kappa was directed at the Private Messaging part of my comment because it's not a function I am particularly interested in (for the reasons that have been discussed ad nauseam).
Apologies again!
(edited for grammar)
Fine. I see my concerns are different to all yours, so I'll concede I suppose
Edit: But then, if the messages aren't going to be implemented, why are they still in the top navigation bar? I'm gonna take a guess and say for the meme
Well it was put there back when it actually was coming soon. We really probably should remove it though so that this stops coming up.
