When linking proof to a site that SRC does not recognize, the link is not clickable. In the old site, it was clickable.

So, I did a run of the game the day it came out (No spreadsheet or Tables existed as far as I know), and during the run I opened inspect element to see if I could use it to read the characters in wingdings font. It didn't actually help due to the way the HTML was structured, and because when a worm is eaten it closes all of the opened tags. Experimenting with this lost me about 5 or so minutes.

Would it be possible for runs completed before the boards were added to speedrun.com to be grandfathered in as long as inspect element didn't have a positive impact on the time?

Here is a video with the timestamp for when I opened inspect element:

Also, I believe the release date is incorrect, it seems like it was released Jun 27, not Jun 26

Before there used to be a warning if you tried to submit a time with a low millisecond value, now there is not.

Just got several runs submitted with milliseconds instead of deciseconds.

I.E users are submitting:

1m 1s 006ms

instead of

1m 1s 600ms

because the warning is gone.

How do I add splits to a run? I don't see a field to add the splits.io link

The game is playable on Steam Deck and Linux via proton. I recommend adding these as platforms. (I play on Linux)

Hi, I've thought about running this game.

When does the timer start/stop?

Czech RepublicGamebuster19901 year ago

Can we please add milliseconds to the leaderboard? The in game timer measures up to deciseconds.

Hello, I'm writing this on behalf of the moderation team of Excitebots: Trick Racing ( @esoterics, @TopStar, @Gamebuster1990 ).

On February 2, 2020, an issue was discovered with our game's in-game timer. After crashing, the slow-motion effect of the game also slows down the timer, causing it to be out of sync with real time.

I.E. Crashing makes your run appear faster than it actually is.

Today, we have discovered that this effect is even more pronounced in Excite Truck, because it takes more time to get out of slow-motion (you have to press 2 repeatedly, instead of shaking the wii remote like in Excitebots).

Link to youtube video:

As you can see, excite truck thinks the above run is 14 seconds faster than it actually is.

This bug only occurs if the runner crashes, in all other instances, the timer remains accurate.

Also another thing to note: We're not sure about Excite Truck, but in ExciteBots, sometimes crashing is faster than not crashing even when taking this into account, so we didn't ban runs with crashes.

Because of this, we frame time every run where the runner has crashed. Of course, how you choose to handle this bug is up to you.

Sincerely, The Excitebots moderation team

Is the arcade cabinet version allowed

The WR history graph for IL runs in Excitebots is still broken months after I filed a bug report. I even looked through the code and specifically pointed out what could be wrong. I even submitted it through the old feedback form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf6G5kHeooo1K11C8WMREf69P_Pv3X4i5DKOjLtUCcDSTreNQ/viewform), and never got a response, not even a "we recognize you have submitted an issue".

Now you've locked the feedback thread and site bug threads, so now there isn't even a real place for users to talk and/or look for these things. It doesn't matter if you don't use it, being able to read about the suggestions and issues people are having with the site adds a layer of transparency. All that locking the threads does is make it harder to discuss issues and improvements with the site.

My third major reason for leaving: the way you have implemented advertisements is stupid, lazy, dangerous, and insecure.

The advertisements are ugly and don't fit the theme, and they shift elements of the page so they're inconsistent between reloads, or they load right before you're about to click on something, and the content you were about to click gets shifted down, which makes you click on it.

ADVERTISEMENTS ARE ON THE LOGIN PAGE. WHERE YOU ENTER YOUR PASSWORD. THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD PRACTICE! DON'T EVER, EVER DO THIS! I'm not going to bother wasting my time for this, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say they're running in a sandboxed iframe. Even if they are running in a sandboxed frame, all it takes is one exploit found to escape the sandbox, and everyone's login info is stolen.

It was already bad enough having the twitch stream and twitter feeds on the login page, but at least you (and twitch) control what code is run there. Having the possibility of just anyone run whatever code they want on the login page is just inexcusable. You shouldn't have any third party scripts running on the login page, period. https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/214784/can-ads-on-a-page-read-my-password

I will not support a company that is so blatantly incompetent, with my content.

The WR history doesn't work for most of the boards, and clicking some of the records takes you to a record for a different board.

I'm talking about the WR history graph at the bottom of this page: https://www.speedrun.com/ebtr/gamestats

EX: Clicking the WR for [School Canada - S-Rank] (By TopStar) takes you to [Excite Race - Excite, S-Rank] (By OddPandemonium)

Here is a list of all of the WR history boards and their issues:

Full Game: No issues School Mexico: Fails to load School Fiji: Fails to load School Canada: Board loads but clicking a run takes you the wrong run School Finland: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run Bronze Egypt: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run Bronze Scotland: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run Bronze Mexico: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run Bronze China: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run Bronze Kilimanjaro: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run Silver Mexico: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run, or does nothing Silver China: Board loads but clicking a run takes you to the wrong run.
