US/Arizona timezone is wrong. I suspect it's being adjusted for daylight savings, when it's supposed to be UTC-7 all year round. My own profile says i'm an hour behind myself.

Also, is there a way I can search for if someone has already reported that issue before? I don't want to be a pest.

When a thread is replied to, then deleted, the subforum stays marked as 'New' even if everything else is cleared. The recently deleted 'Flaws in speedrunning' thread was the case for the Speedrunning subforum. @Gyoo replied, then deleted the thread. Check the thread through his profile marked it as read, but otherwise most other users wouldn't be able to.

I do believe viewing an even newer post that comes later removes the 'new', so it's not a major bug.

The thread is not deleted, but locked. When a thread is locked, it's put to the bottom of the threads list.

@Gyoo It's not too obvious. I'm sure a 'Mark All as Read' button has been suggested before.

Some games have identical titles. It may not do much internally, but for searching or API related things it can be annoying. Here what I found:

Bionic Commando http://www.speedrun.com/bc88 http://www.speedrun.com/bc09

Bonk's Adventure http://www.speedrun.com/bonksadventure http://www.speedrun.com/gbbonk1

Bonk's Revenge http://www.speedrun.com/bonksrevenge http://www.speedrun.com/gbbonk2

Spelunker http://www.speedrun.com/spelunkernes http://www.speedrun.com/spelunkercpu

Strider http://www.speedrun.com/stridernes http://www.speedrun.com/strider1

There's also a significant amount of links with same URLs, just with different capitalization. Making it so it's not case sensitive would probably be a good idea. Here's what I found: http://paste2.org/vcthzcas

Not as important but I made a list of which games have nothing selected for platform: http://paste2.org/1ZhA93La

I haven't tried to contact the game/series mods yet, but will when I can.

Yes, many times. I think it hasn't been done yet because despite being requested a lot, it's still a low priority feature, and maybe the way the forums are coded makes it difficult to add this, but that's my own speculation there.

I fixed the games with identical titles, that's something that needs avoided. URLs need redone at some point. Series pages should really default to a "_series" abbreviation.

Could series links be handled the same way user links were handled? i.e. http://www.speedrun.com/series/...

hi i just wanted to update some of my runs that have outdated vod links, and noticed that it was adding 1 hour to the selected time. So selecting 1:18:23 became 2:18:23 etc.

Baden-Württemberg, Germany

oh that makes sense now i had a similar issue where Individual Level records just disappeared after I accepted, so i assume what happened is that it just added 1 hour and as slower times for ILs just disappear it never showed up on the site. It was only my own times so it's ok

Baden-Württemberg, Germany

problem seems fixed for me :) (im pretty sure it was just temporary and had to do with the server switch)

I'm trying to update a resource with a 3MB file, but I'm getting an error that says "413 Request Entity Too Large".

Zephiles, thanks for reporting, we indeed forgot to adjust the upload limits for the new webserver.

Uploads up to 64MB should now work as expected.

Heya, I want to edit a guide page for Twilight Princess, but when i hit edit on that specific page I just get an empty page back without the textbox. http://www.speedrun.com/tp/guide/qcejz

Here's a screenshot (hitting Edit there will open the same page again): https://gyazo.com/8e1b8df6c111d5aaa548ff7293d3c5ab

TreZc0: I fixed the guide by re-saving it manually - not sure what caused it to break though.

Thank you Lighnat0r :)

Found another thing: In one of the guide pages, i embed youtube videos to show the tricks. http://www.speedrun.com/tphd/guide/vzqf7

Sadly, after 10 video links it stops embedding and just puts the links there. Is there a way around that?

Yeah, there's a limit on the number of links that get embedded, since too many embeds tends to make the page either incredibly slow or crash altogether. It was put in place mostly for twitch embeds which are especially bad (the old interface, current ones seems better though I haven't tested). Youtube seems to be performing ok though, so I've increased the limit for yt links to 20. Let me know if you run into the issues I mentioned with the higher limit.

Thank you a lot :) For now it seems just fine. Sadly we have a small problem here. Before (on our old unstable page), we had subcategories in our guide section, i made a thread about it a few weeks ago. That meant for example we had a dungeons section and then a page for each dungeon. Now (since we don't have this seperation) we try to have all dungeons on one page. This leads to insanely long pages and probably like 100 embedded videos (i know, insane, but TP is insanely well documentated) on 1 page.

Any ideas how to get around this? Maybe...I don't know...is there the chance of page breakes being a thing? Like a link "go to page 2" at the bottom? Then we could work with a contents section right at the beginning of the page. Cause sub categories in guides won't be a thing for a while I got told which I can understand cause there are probably more important features to implement right now.

If you change a default theme's settings (other than background), the background disappears. eg If you change only your border color, the default background will disappear despite not touching it.

Clicking the notification button in the top right corner (the one that looks like Earth) -- The top most notification is hidden behind the fixed top bar. Case in point:

...okay, I guess it wasn't behind, but the notification for the run is bugged:

It was notifying me of this: http://www.speedrun.com/run/9me15vqy

Bavaria, Germany

It's quite probable that this notification was bugged due to the bug that caused players/values not to be saved correctly for run. I'm going to assume fixing that bug fixed this as well, so let me know if it does happen again.
