nuking game specific resources to replace it with a blanket resource page? not all games are the same there's a reason they had game specific resources in the first place. please revert this.

Please, revert the layout change for the profile change - this is ridiculous. https://imgur.com/2s1DaMR Also, please return game-specific resource pages, those are vital to give tools to new runners.

Can it be confirmed that the game specific resources still exist please? It's really worrying that those pages are inaccessible right now.

Edit: Thank you, this now looks fixed.

Yeah @ShikenNuggets said that The per-game resources issue is obviously not intended. AFAIK they're already aware of it and working on fixing it.

Canada

Per-game resources have been fixed.

The Knowledge Base still promotes Livestreamer, which while once useful has not seen any maintenance in over 5 years. Streamlink (https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink) is an actively maintained fork of Livestreamer which should be used instead, especially since streaming platforms have evolved quite a bit since 2016.

I swear to god I am so close to deleting my entire account from here and building a simple webpage to host my own profile with my PBs while integrating into the API to get the LBs for the games I run.

The extent to which Elo is ignoring every user on this site to push their own agenda, content and view for the site is just incredibly upsetting. This entire forum has spent the last 2 weeks begging for more transparency and literally any sign of life from Elo. Instead we get another update, silently released, that is more riddled with bugs than features and further ignores every request from the main user base on this site. If Elo truly reads these forums then that’s even worse because then it shows the extent to which they are actively trying to ignore threads like this and the others on this forum.

Right now it appears like Elo is more concerned with pushing their own content, agenda and view for the site rather than caring at all what the users are actually looking for. Nobody asked for the News and Blog post sections to be plastered on every page, there is literally no point. This site’s entire existence is around speedrunning communities and their individuality - nobody comes here to read opinion blogs.

At this point I’m convinced Elo is just going to continue to rebrand the site to whatever their vision of it is rather than what the users here want. I’d love to be proven wrong, but right now this is the impression being given off by Elo and it’s starting to go from upsetting to irritating.

Hey, is there an option which allows to set a cover picture to 'Fit' or this kind of functionality?

Trying to set up a game I manage but the cover picture seems flattened..

Here is what I got : https://www.speedrun.com/thc

I cannot agree more with @Timmiluvs. At this rate I am legitimately considering making my own alternative website that interacts with the src API so that users don't have to use whatever this is.

news posts have no translucent box behind them for me. is this an issue for anyone else? it makes the white text impossible to read with the theme that i use (firewatch), unless i highlight it or scroll down and read it at the bottom of my screen where the background is darker...

@1UpsForLife I believe it's been that way since the last update to the Front Page too. It's literally unreadable when your theme is remotely light colored. I feel like it was reported back then too. It's pretty awful design when allowing for custom themes, at least a black outline around the text would go a long way in making it better.

Please remove the new section from profile pages.

Agree so hard with @Timmiluvs

Just some responses to this thread would be such a big improvement to morale. Also, we are on page 100 - surely it's time for a new thread? (Just one of the many, many gripes we have with the forums in general).

But why make a new Feedback Thread when our stuff is getting ignored and they just add stuff no one asked for

@Shac0le Ideally, it would be a place they would know to check.

I'm starting to wonder if ELO is only reading their own feedback form and nothing else...

Why fix something that's already fixed? The old layout was just fine, no need to condense it and even add the "news" article because I'm sure ~90% of everyone doesn't remotely care in the slightest. Backing up Timmiluvs on this one.

@Quivico If I'm to understand the latest news post they uploaded to the site correctly, that might actually start being the case:

It seems like we are talking against a Wall or only to each other in This Forum. ELO isn't Bad, but they Just don't Listen to the Community and what they want.
