Welcome to the new Speedrun - Feedback Thread

Netherlands

Compiled a list of everything that has been found so far. Will keep this up to date.

Last updated (20/07/2023)

Leaderboard
  • WR history graph is broken for some games or has bugs (graph not showing times properly, sub categories overlapping, no zoom function)
  • Changing the URL /guide into /guides broke a lot of manual links to guides.
  • No backwards compatibility or auto conversion to new formatting for existing guides (since the new formatting broke a lot of guides)
  • Can't edit resources/guides anymore unless you have a verified run in said game. (Note: It would be quite nice if this could be some kind of approval/reject system for mods so users without runs still have a possibility to upload resources - example is to upload an autosplitter)
  • When editing 'values' from a leaderboard, as soon as the editor goes below the regular window size, it's impossible to scroll down.
  • IL leaderboards not letting you view multiple categories at once
  • Category scope for variables still shows archived categories first in the dropdown, then level categories then full categories.
  • In the Stats page, when you change the subcategory for the Record History it throws you up to the top of the page
  • There is a full-game subcategory listed as the subcategory for all IL's. Example here: https://www.speedrun.com/avp2
  • Can't link directly to the rules for a specific category anymore.
  • Embeds don't show up in rules anymore
  • Featured runs/History are showing a +0 besides name, assuming its for the 2nd player variable being blank.
Mod Hub
  • Can no longer preview runs from the mod hub. You have specifically click the ellipsis after clicking a run.
  • When previewing a pending run in 'leaderboard' view, the verify/reject/edit buttons are quite hidden behind a vertical ellipsis. This seems quite counterintuitive seeing as in the preview from the mod hub they are clear, dedicated buttons at the top.
User profile
  • Users with too many runs on their profile won’t load their profile. Example /users/Akuretaki (Edit, it does load now but very slow)
  • Can disallow users from seeing which games you follow, but can't disallow users from seeing which users you follow.
  • Most Comments and Likes given and received have been removed from user profiles as a stat.
  • Recent runs are missing
  • Can't see which series a user moderates.
  • Can't view your own followed games in your own uer profile. Message: "User has disabled the ability to see their followed games." Example: Daravae - Following - Speedrun
  • In user theme settings, the little trashcan icon for deleting a background background image is hovering behind the foreground image.
Site
  • Lots of duplicate notifications after a run was verified
  • No more day mode (just dark mode) (Please consider accessibility)
  • The game's cover, unless it's a very specific size, is now cropped and broken.
  • Names of games are cut off in the box art list
  • Followed game page doesn't show the game name on the second line
  • Badge and supporter icon can vary a lot in size (one may be a lot bigger/smaller than the other - looks strange combined)
  • The Games dropdown at the top of the site is no longer sortable.
Forum/Threads/Posts
  • On mobile, long sentences in forum posts go outside of their intended borders.
  • Formatting goes outside of its intended borders in forum posts
  • On the Forums page there's a notification icon for followed games at the bottom that have no threads and can't get rid of it
  • Pagination seems strange sometimes. For example (at the moment of writing) in this thread there are 7 pages. In order to return to page 2, you have to first click page 3 (since Page 2 shows as "...") but there is more than enough space in this element to make page 2 available instantly without this happening.
  • [Mobile] Trying to make text Bold and Italic at the same time in the text editor only results in text becoming Bold even though Italic is highlighted. Though after saving changes it does show up correctly in the edited text.
Resolved
  • (Fixed) Bilibili embeds no longer seem to work.
  • (Fixed) When editing a verified run and re-verify it, randomly 1ms would be subtracted from your run time after verification.
  • (Fixed) Millisecond precision display seems broken
  • (Fixed) Can't leave group chats
  • (Fixed) When creating forum posts, the X button is not pressable in order to dismiss the dialog
  • (Fixed) Whenever you refresh the page briefly loads the default theme first, then loads the actual theme.
  • (Fixed) Notifications don't seem to be getting automatically marked as read after checking them right now.
  • (Fixed) Blank variables are auto filled in now with the primary timing method time
  • (Fixed) Default values for subcategories that are level-specific are not respected. For example, in Cuphead most levels have a Simple / Regular / Expert variable with Regular being the default. However, Simple shows for all of these from the level overview.
  • (Fixed) Clicking the second page of "Followed games" (https://www.speedrun.com/users/diggity/following?page=1&view=games) takes you to the second page of "Followed users" (https://www.speedrun.com/users/diggity/following?page=2&view=users)
  • (Fixed) Article comments show up to only 20 comments even though there can be many comments.
  • (Fixed) No verification buttons when viewing a pending run in the full board view. You have to go back to the mod hub and press the ellipsis button to find the buttons.
  • (Fixed) The splits.io field appears to be missing from run submissions/editing
  • (Fixed) When trying to approve a run on mobile, it will switch to rejecting the run instead. The only way to get around this is to flip your phone around horizontally.
  • (Fixed) Times on leaderboards and profiles can sometimes show * besides them to denote load-removed time of IGT, but it also happens with just real-time runs.
  • (Fixed) Can't see a list of all users that liked a specific post anymore
  • (Fixed) Can no longer tag users in posts/forums (no notification - just a tag to link to their profile)
  • (Fixed) Can edit posts from other users in forums from games you moderate. Though changes arent saved after pressing "Save".**
  • (Fixed) Can now see rejected runs of every game by filtering runs on "Rejected" on every board**
  • (Fixed) Can delete all runs again as a mod (not just reject**)
  • (Fixed) Can't see user's last online activity anymore**
  • (Fixed) Can't edit runs anymore as a verifier**
  • (Fixed) Can pin every thread in the forums**
  • (Fixed) Autoverify runs from mods after submitting is on by default for every board.**
  • (Fixed) Can no longer delete forum posts in forum threads of modded games. It deletes the post but refresh and its back again. (Can however still lock the thread)
  • (Fixed) Editing guides can spit out an error saying "Text is too long".**
  • (Fixed) Formatting broke from a lot of existing text guides.**
  • (Fixed) Server error when editing categories such as "Any%" etc.
  • (Fixed) Run submitter is overwrited after verification
  • (Fixed) Runs with no run date appear as "never".
  • (Fixed) YouTube social links on user profiles seem to be completely broken now.

Additionally, not really understanding why 'Rejected' runs are now public for all games via the UI itself. (The filters to be specific)

They were ALWAYS public, even before this

United Kingdom

They weren't from the actual UI itself though.

small issue... verifiers and moderators can delete anyone's runs now, not just their own??? and there's no reject button on already verified runs which is what i would have expected to be there instead

Seems like a great update. The ability to follow friends is a massive upgrade imo. The issues I see are the cover arts being cropped if there is no portrait game cover, and the last login not being visible, which seems important when people are trying to contact a moderator who hasnt been active for a long time.

can we have an option to​ switch back and forth between new and old layout? for example, reddit does this by using old.reddit.com for old layout and reddit.com for new layout. however you can do this your own way and don't have to exactly follow how reddit do it entirely but personally i think this would be a great QOL change

copy paste + edit from my thoughts thread

-i get wanting to make the game covers be the same size but it looks super dumb if the picture isnt in the aspect ratio the site wants

-on /forums/ why is the "you didnt give us money" thing so big?

-the theads are hard to read when everything is way more compact

-circle shaped profile pics suck.

-the resources page is now even harder to find for new users. (used to be right under the three dots at the top center) meaning more threads will be made

"where do i download livesplit????"

-why cant you see when a user was last active?

-apparently shift+enter makes a new line on the editor but not onto the actual post everyone sees

-why was the (your)pending runs button removed from the top bar?

-misc categories are maybe too hidden. i first thought they were just gone because i couldnt see the thin few pixel thick arrow

-you now only see the first 13 runs of a category when you open a leaderboard. back when the game info was on the left you could see at least the first 30 runs. the new update made this drop from 20(i think) to 13.

-runs with no run date appear as "never" on the leaderboards for somereason.

-do these platforms really need to be bundled? there is definetly no space for them....

-readable

-why can you no longer open a thread straight to the latest post in it by clicking the time stamp below the username on the very right

-whenever you refresh the page flashes with the default theme

-in the news page it says the new update aritcle has 86 comments yet when you open the actual article and scroll down it will only show 20

runs on profile pages display archived variables/subcats (but not archived categories this time thankfully :P)

People with too many runs on their profile won’t load their profile. No one is able to see @Akuretaki profile

Can't edit resources/guides anymore unless you have a verified run in said game.

@Daravae These are now per-game settings. Resources always required a verified run in the game, if I remember right.

@SkittlesCat, again, we could ALWAYS see those runs, even before the update

Getting this when editing my guides now:

Table of contents also don't exist anymore?
