A really weird glitch on CSTimer. This just started happening today. My times get deleted but only to a certain point, solve 1352, whenever I leave the website, or switch sessions. I would do an average then switch to another event, and my times after solve 1352 are gone. I've never seen this before. Please help!

I would export all my times to a file and to the server and then remove all cookies and then import everything again. Make sure the exporting went OK before you delete cookies!

A good feature would be autosync. When I use cstimer I use it on my PC and phone, and it would be best if, after every solve, the data would automatically save to server. Then, when I open it on my phone, the webpage auto syncs to the cloud, and pulls that data, and I don't have to manually export on my PC, and then import on my phone. It's a clean, smooth all-platform web-app. That would make it easier to just use a phone when possible and a PC when possible.

Also, an option to export and import as sessions ONLY to the solves I have, NOT remove all solves and import that. I could export a session, and then import it as a session, and it would just be another session, added to the ones I already have.

Yesterday, out of the blue csTimer stopped working. I would type in a time and it just went on to the next scramble without recognising the solve (although it did still have the pb notification when i typed in a random 4 or something). I've tried putting it onto the keyboard timer and opening it in incognito, but nothing is working. Any ideas on what is going on or how I could fix it?

Did you maybe clear your cookies?

Are you on the same cstimer url you were before? - https://cstimer.net - https://www.cstimer.net <- those save independently.

If you didn't do any backups and the times are really gone - they're gone. Be sure to make backups in the future, after logging in via WCA id or your google account it's just 2 clicks away.

I double checked the site, my session names are still the same and I have not cleared the cookies.
I guess this is the end then :/ :p

So only your times are gone, sessions and all your options are still there? And the times in all of your sessions are gone? If it was just one session, I'd guessed you maybe accidentally deleted them (alt+d + enter clears all the times in one session), but if all times in all sessions are gone that's pretty unlikely to happen accidentally. When you do a solve now, does it show in the list? Is the solve number for the first new solve 1 or is there maybe an error that it just doesn't show previous solves?
I lack the knowledge to really help you, but if you didn't clear your cookes, maybe the developer can, if it's really a bug. You can try to open an issue on github, if he doesn't answer here.

Just a tip for the future - if you make a bug report and/or want help (in general, not necessarily cubing related):

Try to give as much useful information as you can and try to be very specific.

ok so all my times got deleted???

is not a good way. Not a nice tone, very few and not very unambiguous information. If I was a dev, it could be that I'd ignore a comment like yours.

It would be nice to have the option to, for DNFs, display the time in the 'time' column, with maybe a red background or red text, rather than "DNF". Especially in BLD, it's hard to scroll through and find a particular solve, or match up a video with a solve.

Edit: Unrelated, but it doesn't save the order of my sessions. Whenever I reorder them (which takes a long time, only being able to move up/down one spot at a time), it reverts the next time I turn on my laptop.

A small feature I would find handy is the ability to edit times in the session list. I usually enter times by typing and sometimes mis-key them. As far as I know the only way to fix that and retain the scramble is to delete the time, hit "last" for scramble, and then re-enter the time.

Thanks for the advice, I'l keep this in mind :) Yes you've got the summary right more or less
And no, the solve starts as no. 1 and loads no previous solves

I think I've suggested some things here before and they've been implemented so let's try this :)

I am aware of a feature that allows for use of a stackmat timer to begin the inspection timer by tapping the right pad of the timer. Is this kind of signal relay-able mid solve? If so, would it be possible to implement a similar feature where tapping the right pad can be used to record splits for a multi-phase session?

The signal-report rate from stackmat timer is too low, which is only about 7~8 signals/second. When you put your hand on the pad, cstimer will get this information about 0.15 seconds later. Furthermore, if you just touch the pad instead of keeping your hand on the pad, stackmat timer may not transfer the touch information at all.
