I generally like the changes. Thanks for the hard work guys, I know it's hard rolling out updates and quickly bugfixing and still having people in this thread be like "THEY DONT LISTEN TO US!!!! IM GONNA DELETE MY ACCOUNT!!" lmao. Everybody saying "it looks bad" is not providing feedback at all and is not being helpful.

Anyways, I'm gonna list my thoughts, many of which have probably been mentioned before;

  • Please make more use of horizontal space, and the font bigger.
  • The dropdown for leaderboards definitely is clunky and I personally think a new solution is needed altogether. It's also weird that some of the options of the dropdowns are larger than the dropdown widget itself.
  • I agree with changing the place identifiers; having 1st/2nd/3rd back would be nice, also having the 'th' back on all the other places.
  • Bump up the threshold for number of subcategories before collapsing, and maybe include a label for what that subcategory is
  • The stats - I think the stats separated by a / need to be distinguished more, its a little confusing to look at. I don't think a / is really indicative of the relationship between the two. Maybe parenthesis? And I'm not sure what "Game Added"'s time format is set to, or if there's a setting for it, but I thnk changing 2017-09-30 to "30th of September, 2017" is more user-friendly.
  • I agree with showing the name of the community website and I think it's an important detail
  • For games that do have a Misc. tab, at least Cuphead doesn't have the tab indicate that it's a dropdown, and I think that should be changed
  • For main boards, the order of the dropdown categories is "Full Game", "Cat Extensions", "Levels", but for the extensions board it's "Base (?) Categories", "Full Game", "Levels"; I think the order should be standardised and that a better name for Base should be used - something like "Main"? I'm not sure honestly, and I don't know if Base has been used before. The main thing is the order.
  • If it doesn't already, the News should sync between main board and extension board. Or at least give the option to. I know that might be convoluted.
  • I would like the option to include moderator stats on the user page for games that I used to moderate, but don't currently, and perhaps a "Total runs reviewed / time" stat as well
  • I don't understand the visits stat
  • I would like to be able to hide specific games from these stats (for e.g. I'd like to hide Seterra from my Games Run stat)
  • Many of the user stats seem unnecessary, "Comments Likes Given", "Comments Likes Received" for e.g. - these also seem to have incorrect grammar.
  • Covers are still too small
  • The comment section on a run - I like this feature - but it needs a re-design. Feels weird that this page is so much wider than the rest of the site. It also feels weird that avatars don't appear. I don't know what you guys have tested, though

Things that I think look weird but I'll get used to (so I don't think you should fix for now):

  • Moderator name locations (truly a niche and unimportant thing for most users)
  • The usernames alignment on boards
  • Right sidebar instead of left sidebar now

Things that I would also like to see: (additional)

  • Guides / Resources syncing between a board and it's extensions (or linking to the same place)
  • Custom ordering of games on my user page, so I could show off maybe what I'm most proud of first. I understand that this section has likely not been touched yet in the re-design.

Thanks again guys.

@Garsh If it isn't obvious... They're clearly using Google translate or something similar. Not sure why you're getting caught up on deleted / rejected. Mistranslation and/or not aware of the difference. Your reply comes off as aggressive for no real reason

This whole shtick of public shaming is so fucking toxic and is counter-intuitive to your point. You aren't making the community better by encouraging it. Have some empathy and stop trying to be self-righteous and trying to "take matter into your own hands" so to speak.

Have some empathy into the mind of a cheater. Contrary to what is apparently popular belief, people who cheat are not pure evil. Sometimes they're frustrated with their game, sometimes they just want to look cool, sometimes they don't see what's so bad about it, whatever the reason, it's usually misguided. No need to try and SHAME people out of a community and online for doing it. (although I do think there should be bans from submitting runs)

That's why I told yall to fuckin relax and get over yourselves.

Actually, I think it'd be nice to (well, have these as options, but...) be able to sort by age of oldest run per game, so that you can work your way from the back of your own queue easier

Haven't seen anything about it in ages

thread: The Site

I think, when people say "collapse runs", they mean collapsed and condensed to the same table-like form as /runsawaitingverification, so its easier to see the entire list. Each run still takes a considerable amount of space with the setting on.

I'm not sure what "Add game information to top of right column" means

I think the absolute/relative date thing was a setting, no? I think I'd prefer it to be relative for myself, but correct me if im wrong

I think the buttons have the wrong text colour / aren't styled as they were before

Thanks for the quick work btw not tryna be overly critical

Hey, thanks for adding the links on the mod hub to the game! Also for fixing the edit run bug. I also want to reiterate the point that links to the category / level / subcategory boards where appropriate would also be appreciated

thread: The Site
New South Wales, Australiadiggity3 years ago

definitely second the same-page editing.

thread: The Site
New South Wales, Australiadiggity3 years ago

Hey, I like the changes!

I'm submitting this as a ticket too, but can we have links to the game / categories on the page / runs? For example, I want to open a game's page while verifying, but there isn't a direct link on the page - same with Level / Category, these can probably be made into hyperlinks (the tags under the run information).

Seconding the collapsed by default (or make this an option) although I'm not really bothered by it. Also, the claimed run thing.

how much time could this have possibly taken to set up? acting as if it was a massive sink of time and resources

Block of text is hard to read

It's just mismanagement and poor decision making, you act as if src was better before it was bought out

so no

Meta on the blog post - https://twitter.com/ItsCamNotCan/status/1407366123306299393 (Jun 23) - so at least back then it wasn't an advertisement.

This very game had a blog post written about it recently: https://www.speedrun.com/news/807-2021-6-21-coming-soon-severed-steel-an-fps-for-speedrunners

It's board doesn't open for another week.

Um... wtf? This seems horribly misjudged, and I'm not even sure that this is an advertisement?
