Obsoleted runs in Recent Runs should have the hyphen:

I added a mod to my game but they wont show up?

I'm sure some people like the idea of comments on runs, but adding a feature like that without any options to disable or even properly remove comments seems incredibly short sighted, as said before most runs are uploaded on youtube and already have their comment sections there, and we all know how much of a mess youtube comments are already, and with no effective moderation src comments would surely end up even worse.

Some of the other stuff is nice, I'm personally a fan of all the random statistics, I find it quite interesting, but again with no options to show/hide any of this stuff it can come across very stalkerish to a lot of people.

I think the main gripe here is that we want a little customization, you can't please everyone with a single solution, so allow us to toggle different settings around to how we personally like it.

For the news section: I'd like to get Polls as a feature! So that we can put out a statement asking for people's opinions and see what the response is. Would also like to be able to limit the responses to be from people that have actually submitted a run to the board (to prevent spamming from non-runners).

Speaking of the news section, how useful a feature is this actually? I imagine most games have a Discord by now for such things. Having said that, I'm not against it, was just wondering why SRC is trying to become a social media platform rather than a database

@PentaghastPentaghast The news feature was actually asked for, as part of tools for moderators.

This is a great place to notify runners if anything special happened on the leaderboard - new categories, category changes, rule changes, etc.
Previously, the way to do that was on a sticky thread in the game forum.

As for discord - not all (or even most) games have discord servers; and even if they do, runners don't have to join there.

@Oreo321Oreo321 that's fair, didn't think of it being used for that sort of stuff - from a moderation POV that's actually quite useful then

Can you remove the privacy invading details on my profile already? It's none of anyone's business to see what games I follow, nor how often I do any moderation, besides other moderators of games I moderate.

"the games and users update" and yet you guys still haven't fixed broken profiles like mine. i legitimately don't know if you guys are trolling at this point or if you're being serious because this is too absurd to be real.

honestly it seems like people are getting url variable names on purpose and then "rage" when those names break stuff,
src should have a non overlaping link system without shortenings but honestly @useruser is probably an alt anyways.

I think that comments section on runs could produce toxicity in the speedrun community, I guess that youtube comments are enough.

Also, I think that forum post likes and dates are not relevant, think that should not be shown in the front page.

@survivalMichisurvivalMichi The whole bunch of new accounts with URL variable names, only started in the last month.
@useruser is here for 9 months, so you can't blame him for trying to break the site.

Thanks for removing the followed games stuff on the side.

The good:
- News posts
- Recently added runs is neat

The bad:
- Font size. There is so much wasted space. Why should it be this small? Also, is it not kinda obvious during design that this would hurt the readability of basically everything on the leaderboard?
- Why did the moderation tab move to the bottom, now below an ad, while this is too important to have tucked away like this? At least push it above the statistics.
- The font. It feels.. messy.. it could be a little more clear. Especially on the category tabs it feels like the font is capitalized for no real reason.
- In general, the way these new elements are structured also feels messy. A pretty neat element "Recently added runs" is hidden and tucked away below a massive ad.
- I personally feel "Recent threads" isn't notable enough to be put on the front page, as a lot of threads are typically replacements for what would now be news posts, or in general just has users asking questions about things and I'd consider it a separate element from the actual 'leaderboard' so combining it feels unnecessary.
- Having rank 'icons' for the top 4 recent runs instead of people's actual rank in that list feels out of place since you first have to connect what icon is actually what rank, as to where looking on the leaderboard itself it makes sense since the top 4 icons are ordered that way.

In general, to me, a lot of this feels like: "Who thought this was a good idea to change?".
I feel like speedrun.com really needs to start thinking about how changes like these are immediately pushed live without some sort of beta testing beforehand (at least I haven't seen any beta testing on this design anywhere) and at minimum have beta testers flesh out rather 'obvious' mistakes like the font size before pushing this live to all users. It would also in turn save you costs in the long run, save Meta effort of writing down 12 pages of feedback and lets be honest, a company of this size like easily has the budget to run a beta program for huge design changes like these.

@Bob-chickenBob-chicken it's still there for me. Where don't you see it ?

Oh, never mind it just didn’t load.

I never said that it shouldnt be fixed.
but fixing flags is more important because more users are affected.

good for adding breadcrumbs on the top of the threads and forums back :thumbs_up:
