Site performance improvements, bug fixes, and more!
Checking in this week to follow up on the data migration earlier this month, some bug fixes, and more from our new Community Manager!
Hey everyone!
I hope your week is going well.
I started as Community Manager on August 16th and, while it’s been a busy time, it’s also been awesome chatting with everyone. You should see me bouncing around the forums and Discord more often now. Please feel free to reach out to me via the Support Hub, the forums, Discord, or even Twitter. I want to hear from you about all things speedrunning and site-related!
Site Update
You may have noticed the site is running smoother after our data migration on August 13th. We know the site performance had been affecting everyone, and we’re pleased to report that the migration and some ensuing tweaks have led to a significant overall improvement. We still have more to do on this front, but this was a massive step in the right direction. Big thanks to the engineers working on this!
User profile assets endpoint update
Some community tools were unfortunately broken for a short while due to the data migration process changing how some assets were being stored. The site API has been updated to reflect this, particularly in relation to user profile images!
Uneditable guides, invisible forum posts
An issue occurred where users were not able to create or edit forum posts or guides, and once again we thank the community for flagging this so quickly for us, it helps out a lot!
Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve and expand on the site. We’re constantly working on improving site performance, squashing pesky bugs, and developing some... much-requested features.
That’s it from me this time, but I plan on making many more of these community updates as well as staying active in the forums and on Discord. If you have additional bugs to report, or feedback you’d like to give please head over to the Support Hub and create a ticket. It really helps us out! Also, if you’d like to contact me directly on any of my social media, I have most things connected over on my user profile. I’ll see y’all around!
