Texas, USANice request, Quivico! I requested that about two years ago: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/g79jt/54#m0f3k I love the added idea of returning users to the non-default!
Edit 07/27/2023: OMG you guys did it, nice! Thanks for adding this feature!
I say we keep it. Srcom needs to add the ability have subcategories be either descending or ascending.
Drop a like on this post, or better yet, bump it in the thread by linking to this post in a new comment: https://www.speedrun.com/post/4lbsm
It would be nice to be able to edit pending game requests: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/qtcht
Heck yeah, Xero. Bumping primary platforms: https://www.speedrun.com/post/ac5y4 I think it would be great to allow mods to reorder of platforms and have the default order alphabetical.
Hey guys!
Since development for the game has wrapped up, I've added a category called All Worlds, in which you must reach 50 points in all worlds with any character. Sub 10 is possible and I'm excited to see if anyone can reach that!
Actually it kinda makes sense to add a high score category for highest level reached. Thoughts, @afnannen136?

What might also be cool (and I'm not asking for site implementation, more just a side project) would be to compile a list of all runs and then compare the top times and run count in each category to create a leaderboard of the most optimized runs on srcom.
Welcome to the mod team, @afnannen136! And with that, I'll be stepping down :)) It's been awesome watching the runs for this game pour in! Message SMP and afnannen if you are interested in modding
Great idea, @Sonikkustar! Could easily work with something like this (interactive list of all runs on a leaderboard): https://www.speedrun.com/post/ribm0
Consider the "Pending Actions" dropdown for a moment: A user can select "View All" or "Runs awaiting verification."
As a mod, I hardly ever click on "View All." It would be better to have that button redirect me straight to the retiming page instead of opening a dropdown. Then perhaps you could have a separate link on that page that says "View all pending actions." Something like that. If anything, a single click to get to run verifications is the important thing.
Hey Shiken, thanks for the summary post on this issue. Your counterpoints make a lot of sense.
I see what you are saying, and I agree that high score addition would complicate things. The more I think about it though, resorting by a Score variable would be the least complicated way to handle this change.
Check out column sorting in https://github.com/gregnb/mui-datatables I've used this library on a client application and I'm a fan of the way users can click column headers to sort alphanumerically.
As high scores are still not priority on the site, it makes sense (for now) to autosort every leaderboard by time. However, if the leaderboard doubles as a high score board, a user can feel free to click the score column header to view top scores.
To address your points: Column sorting or a similar solution on this site could allow for highscores to still be submitted as times with score variables, which would not mess up the front page or notifications. Users are already used to seeing the 40th or 112th place run of a game on front page. Submitting a high score would not change this.
On your point of two communities clashing, I'd say that srcom stays committed to prioritizing speedruns. In one way or another, a speedrun is a high score. Arguably, it is the most popular type of high score because it is nearly universal across games (aside from endless run type games).
I cannot make assumptions on how a high score community might grow and whether they would feel the need to ask for equal attention from site or leaderboard mods. Nor can we make assumptions about the need to split a leaderboard.
To sum it up: High score communities do exist and would like to see functionality added to the site to account for their scores. A simple solution like column sorting on a score variable would help these subcommunities. The consequences of this change may be unpredictable and growth in high score subcommunities may occur.
As a final note, I see what site mods go through and I know yall wouldn't enjoy an increase in conflict surrounding high scores. Maybe it will be a hot topic for popular leaderboards. However, until something is done about it, people will continue asking for high score support and the amount of shambly time-into-score leaderboards will increase :)))
If thread subbing was around I wouldn't be responding 18 days later haha
I was definitely thinking of using Virtual Box, but was unsure if the game disc could be read and installed on the VM. Thanks for the feedback, y'all :))
This is not featured on the website yet, but the functionality has been requested. Please like this post to show interest in getting this implemented! https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/g79jt/71#mc4lp
Heya Willabob! I just saw you submitted a bad piggies run. The audio is way out of sync... is there any way you can resync it? Which recorder were you using?
Would you mind describing why you can't see the messages?
Also yes I can add you as a mod! But this: Error: Willabob must enable e-mail authentication before they can be added as a moderator. Tell them to go to Settings and enable "Require e-mail authentication".
