speedrun.com will probably never allow uploading/downloading videos since handling that requires lots of storage space, bandwidth and potentially the ability to transcode video.

Btw., i recently had to find out that embeds don't work for tiktok videos.

They probably should rework how they load/store flags. Instead of loading like a hundred individual images (when opening a large board) that are cached for only 24 hours, they could put all the flags on a single sprite and cache that for a month.

Wouldn't that display a wrong result if someone uploads an old run that isn't their PB anymore?

"- Site layout is controversially changed" could need a few more details, like the "Commentpocalypse" and the spam, harassment and mod strikes it caused.

June:

  • 1000 character limit has been added to forum posts in reaction to people posting entire books or something (not sure about the date)
  • GDPR Data requests have been added (24th of June)

If you are in the right Timezone you can also get "next month".

Runs without a RTA time should automatically go to the bottom of the list.

Someone should make a "How to steal login credentials using speedrun.com! [EASY]" video.

Alternatively name them "Level 001", "Level 002", ... Probably looks better than ".Level 1".

In that case they can request the mod role via the support hub: https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/supporthub/request-moderation

Edit: 🤔 @Rayquaza911 hasn't been online in 4 months...

Referring to what @survivalMichi described, i'd call it "Bio".

They could just make the website a PWA and throw it into the play store :upside_down: But it's no wonder people don't like using the website on mobile considering this shitshow: https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.speedrun.com%2F&tab=mobile (that link leads to a site that evaluates the performance of a website and gives it a rating)

In my experience it varies wildly what people understand under what you call "flair". The only site i know that even uses that terminology is reddit and there it looks very different.

What exactly do you mean by "flair"? Post borders, image borders, text/image signatures, post colors, tags, statistics, titles - or something else entirely? Imo this thread has been pretty much useless so far because of how vague it is.

They most likely won't do that since supporting two designs of the website adds a lot of extra development time, especially when new features are added.

How could you possibly abuse disabling comments?

As the mod of a game that uses "jiffies" (1/60th of a second) for IGT, I second this feature request.

There is probably nothing you can do yourself and you are not the only one with problems like this. Check out @user 's thread about their experience with their pretty much broken account here: https://www.speedrun.com/the_site/thread/0anza It's up to Elo / speedrun.com to fix problems like this
