I've seen this quite a few runs now, all on the mobile app. Does anyone know the cause of this "glitch", and if it's easy to reproduce?
Final question, from 90-100 grains:
I agree with bacon. I would like to further emphasis the mobile aspects of the beta feature though, as personally, about 80% of my time on the site is spent on a mobile browser. Here are the most important fixes for mobile that need to happen (in my opinion):
-
Please do not shorten usernames, its misleading when people have very similar usernames, such as the various amount of users that start with "Felipe..."
-
Game Cover should be shown, just like on a user's profile
-
For coop run, I see it to be fine to replace the trailing users after player 1 with "...", but at least give the option to expand to see all players involved, or allowed for a hover option
-
The font is slightly too small for game titles
Picture:
Also @YUMmy_Bacon5 it says its a beta feature on the front page
My overall opinion: This feature is just okay. Why? Taking a look at the screenshot, it says that all the runs were verified (or submitted idk) 26 minutes ago. This is obviously not the case, and is something that's already known when looking at the recent runs on a game board.
I really don't see this as a real "improvement" to the current layout until a workaround can be made for this display issue. Even if the runs are in the correct order, the display of "26 mins ago" (or 11 hours ago in bottom example) on everything gives the impression that the front page is random. If this can be fixed, I think it would actually be a very good improvement to the homepage (in conjunction with the suggestions already listed).
Second picture for more examples:
Made a ticket, but with the new beta feature (on mobile, haven't tested PC yet), game covers do not appear, runs with multiple users only show enough usernames to fill the line, then is replaced by "...".
I also think the font size is quite small for the game titles, should probably be a few sizes larger imo.
When searching for a game disc on ebay, I noticed some of the listings say PAL, and others say NTSC. In regards to this game, is there any distinct differences between versions?
Its also good for compartmentalizing your activities

The easiest and most practical way of doing it, is through the misc. tab on the main game board. This makes it so you can keep all your categories on the same page, and not have to worry about moderating two boards.
If you want category extensions, use the link above from @Liv , but the misc. tab is usually the better route to go.
Now that the first round of beta features are released (which I'm for the most part, quite happy with), i have some questions and concerns I would like to bring forward.
It appears that a few of the issues reported in the beta, still made it into the full release, such as no way to toggle the new/old leaderboard (aka turning off game ordering) and platforms sometimes appearing twice. Since this is quite a small forum, and we often want to check possible bugs with each other, can we keep a sticky thread at the top of this forum, with a post by site staff containing known bugs/issues?
Second, what is the general timeframe of seeing additional beta features? While I personally will remain subscribed to supporter, I can imagine if new features aren't released soon, users will start to cancel their subscriptions. Now none of us want a rushed update, but is there a general timeframe we can see new features (few days, few weeks, etc)?
Its not really a game-specific question, its a bounty.
I suggest posting here instead, most people post their bounties in this forum: https://www.speedrun.com/tournaments_and_races/forum
