When someone edits a run and it needs to be re-verified, it would be very useful for moderators to be able to see what was edited. There's no need to do a full re-verification if it's just a description or info edit, but I'm currently looking at a really old run that was edited and I have no way to tell what's been changed.

It is probably in the audit log, but finding that would be annoying. A notification for mods at the least would be really helpful.

Not to mention the audit log is only accessible to super mods. Having to talk to a super mod any time this comes up is not exactly ideal.

While on the subject, mods should really be able to see the audit log too.

Hmm, thought I posted here earlier but the post didn't save. Maybe due to the password change thing that happened.

Anyways, I agree with Shiken on Reg Mods accessing the audit log. As for having mods see edits on re-verify runs, it would be nice, but I don't think that's a big issue -- mods can write something in the comments if needed.

You should be able to sort leaderboards by date.

I think it would be useful to have some way of enabling notifications for the main forums. Because of how large they are you could maybe select specific threads to get notifications on or something. It would make it easier to have a discussion there

@Derpeth Date of what? Date of leaderboard creation? Date of game creation? Date of latest run?

I mean sorting the runs by date.

@Derpeth you can use the API for that,
implementing that for the leaderboards is nonesense.

One feature that I think would be quite nice, would be the option to have multiple titles for a game that users can choose. For example, the 4th Ratchet and Clank game is called Ratchet Deadlocked in NTSC regions, and Ratchet Gladiator in PAL, and I think it would be nice if we were able to choose on a game-by-game basis which title the site displays for us, so that we in PAL land don't have to see the American titles for things. Consoles too, like giving us the choice to see Mega Drive or Genesis.

Have it so I can actually enter subcategories when I enter one for a marathon.

Google introduced this tool called web.dev to help web developers assess their websites:

So I ran speedrun.com thtough it, and got these results:
https://lighthouse-dot-webdotdevsite.appspot.com/lh/html?url=https://speedrun.com

I think taking even the first suggestion from these results would optimize load times for the site.
Serve images in next-gen formats
Estimated savings: 8.25 s
Image formats like JPEG 2000, JPEG XR, and WebP often provide better compression than PNG or JPEG, which means faster downloads and less data consumption.

Take a look, devs 🙂

It would be neat for the Statistics page if you could click on any of the dots in the WR History timeline and it take you to that submission or video to watch

Is it possible to not use autoplay videos on this site with sound, at least on the main page?

Requesting the removal of "like-a-post" so @Imaproshaman can stop liking every post on the site resulting in unnecessary notifications.

Hahaha, I didn't know it did that. I just like liking helpful posts. Sorry about that. ':D

Variables that are hidden from the leaderboard columns, but still show in Filters (for further filtering) and directly within the run. This would help with runs that have different aspects to the runs that can be useful when searching for specific criteria, but does not necessarily warrant a new column.

If you try submit a run between midnight and 1am with your system time set to NZDT (UTC+13) the site won't let you submit using the auto-filled date with the message "Are you in the future?". Here's how it looked for me: https://imgur.com/a/yGkBADz . Waiting until 1am then let the run though again.

To me at least it seems like you make sure the date that's going to be submitted isn't more than 12h ahead of UTC, so it should be a simple enough fix to change that to 14h to properly encompass all time zones.

When clicking submit on a subcategory that isn't the default, the run submission gets set to the first subcategory by default anyway.

Also, maybe it's a good idea to require moderators to follow the games they moderate? I often see questions get asked in forums by users and no help is given for months, whether it's a general question or a problem with the boards. The more actively a mod can participate the better.

It would be nice if we could have an option to not show a live stream in the frontpage options or at least prevent it from autoplaying it. I sometimes am on a mobile connection with limited data and I imagine I'm not the only one in this case.
