You can't. That's not a feature than Nohboard has. The tbps program most people use is Undertale KPS, which you can find in the Resources tab.

The 4th one is already a category. The other three don't really seem like they'd be interesting to run, and the routing would be mostly the same as any other category.

You submitted your run twice. You can check your pending runs and see that the other submission is still there.

That's referring to in-game saves, which are allowed and commonly used during the run. The rules explicitly say that emulator save states are banned.

That's only on the xbox version which has a glitch that allows you to skip lemon bread by dying to it. On all other versions, dying to lemon bread doesn't allow you to skip the fight.

That category already exists on the category extensions leaderboard

Yes, you can record your TV with your phone as long as we can see what's happening in the game

Yes, you would need to upload the video somewhere else as speedrun.com doesn't host videos. We've had people submit runs using bilibili, if you're able to upload there.

I'd like to request a Contest speedrun category for Sapphire. The rules I'd propose would be the same as glitchless with the goal of beating the Master rank contest. I ended timing on the first black screen after the contest ends, to match the end credits timing in other categories. Here's my run of it:

I have one request on the new format of the Moderation Hub... Could you show the dates of the earliest run submission instead of the latest run submission (or alongside it)? For mods of multiple games, it's a lot more useful to know which game has the oldest pending submissions so we can verify those runs first.

It's generally better to take serious rules proposals to the discord rather than posting it on the forums, since the discord is where all of that is discussed (and voted on, if needed). But there are very good reasons to ban data.win modifications completely and very little benefit to reversing that.

No, that would not be allowed as you need to remain in patient mode for the entire run.

The October 14th site update was met with a pretty significant negative reaction, mainly centered around privacy concerns and the comments system enabling harassment. This update also brought changes to the leaderboard formatting, but unlike some of the other issues, this one has still not been addressed.

The main problem is that you can no longer browse all the categories on a leaderboard at once if the leaderboard has a lot of categories. You're instead forced to navigate through multiple pages of only a few categories each, clicking the "Next" arrow that moves to a different spot on each page. This makes it next to impossible to get a decent overview of what categories a game has to offer and significantly increases the time it takes to find the category you want.

Because of this, I went and created a script that will revert this design choice and show all of the categories again. It's a simple script, but so far it's made my experience on the site much more fluid and so I thought I'd share it. The script can be installed with Tampermonkey (if using Chrome) or Greasemonkey (if using Firefox).

It's been said several times already, but the main problem to me is that we're no longer able to show every category/subcategory at once on leaderboards with more than a few categories. If a community decides that a certain number of categories should be visible on the main leaderboard page, then those categories should be made visible. Hiding categories behind a drop down or an arrow button makes those categories effectively hidden to someone casually browsing the leaderboard, which goes against the wishes of the community.

Contrary to how the update post made it seem, the list of categories isn't just some annoying menu that should be moved out of the way. It is an important part of the leaderboard. Sometimes people go to the leaderboard for the sole purpose of browsing categories. Being able to see all the main categories at once can allow runners and viewers to find new categories they would have otherwise missed, which is a major consideration when deciding whether to make a category main or misc. But with this update, several categories will no longer have that exposure.

We already had functionality for hiding categories with the Misc. dropdowns. We should be given more tools for organizing the leaderboard, not have existing tools taken away. This update just comes across as Elo thinking they know better than the communities that run the leaderboards, which goes against the community-run spirit of this site. Let us decide how to format our own leaderboards.

You can do SGS on all versions

Yes, 1.001 Linux has much better input handling and also for Neutral and True Pacifist it has Mad Dummy Skip, which can't be done on any Windows version and saves over a minute and a half.

In-game time is saved to your save file and goes backwards whenever you die or reload. It also doesn't track time spent with the game window closed or the game paused through the console (on newer console versions) or any lag that happened throughout the game.

Runs are timed by the video length from the start of the run to the end of the run so that's the time you should use in your submission. The time on Livesplit isn't technically the same but you can submit that time and mods will correct it during verification if necessary.

The in-game True Reset function doesn't actually delete the save data so starting a run with a True Reset would not be a valid run. You'll need to delete the game data in Data Management. We refer to it as 0-reset to distinguish it from the True Reset option. Here's a guide for deleting save data on various versions: https://pastebin.com/EixYz5hk

If you really are interested in the hardest category, the answer is almost certainly True 100%. https://www.speedrun.com/undertalecategoryextensions#True_100

I would definitely suggest not trying to start out with the hardest category, though. Undertale can be an extremely technical game with all the glitches so it's generally good to start out with a shorter category you can get through easier, like Neutral.
