Actually the timer should start if you release the space bar. At least that's the behaviour on my computer. What browser/OS are you using?

I changed the format of 2x2 and 3x3 to avg of 12. What format should the 4x4 and 5x5 be? Averages of 12 could be quite painful for the slower people, so i prefer to leave it as an average of 5.
Currently we can't offer more than one average format, but we'll have to change that until the release of the competition area.

Wait, it's average of 12 now? Isn't it, like, harder to get a fast average of 12 than a fast average of 5? So should people's times be deleted now, because they might not be able to get them if they did averages of 12? Also, doing only non-rolling averages of 12 seems really weird to me. But maybe that's just me. Anyway, I'd say to either go with competition style all the way (non-rolling avg5 / mean3, no averages for BLD events) or UWR style all the way (avg12 for everything no matter how long, even BLD, and allowing rolling). Something in between is just confusing.

Can you put single PBs (as well as averages) on people's profiles?

I don't like the graphs that much: the scaling is arbitrary. Can you change the code so that instead of displaying things like your best and worst time, they display "landmarks"? For example on 3x3 I don't want marks like "15.84 s" or "16.88 s" on the y axis, even if they're my best/worst times, because I can visually identify my best/worst average by just finding it on the graph and rolling my mouse over it. I'd much rather have marks like "15.00 s" and "16.00 s" and "17.00 s", even if my times don't quite reach the top or the bottom of the graph. Very important landmarks like "1:00.00 min" and "1:30.00 min" should probably be included whenever they fall in the graph range, even if they would normally be skipped.

By the way, don't mind my criticism too much; I think it's a really neat site and I'm excited to watch it develop.


EDIT: Something weird happened. I did 2x2 BLD (mean of 3, right?) and my times were like 1:0x DNF 5x, but then I got an average of 1:0x. Shouldn't it be a 5x single DNF average? How does the code deal with DNFs anyway? (By the way the DNF was around 1:30.)

I think it's weird, too, and that it would be better if sessions could contain any number of solves.

I also can't select the other events. When I click them, they become yellow, but nothing else happens. I tried doing a couple of OH averages, but they were submitted as normal speedsolves. It also happens on the record page.
 
I think avg of 5 was nice and Rolling is not needed, you can always add your times and see your progress nicely. why do you always want average of 12? it can take quite a while when you just want to cube in a break, you now need some time (more than double...)
But I still love the site as you know tim!

Press the style of the event and then the puzzle.
 
Some things to add:

-A list of the newest records by date (only the top-10 records or so)
-the seperate times of an average in the record listings
-the scramble in the single solve listings

Apart from that, great site, which will be used by me for a long time.

I agree very much. I'm sure tim is probably doing something about the avg of 5/12 thing, though.

You're right, it's confusing. What about that solution: I will change all events to avg of 12 (except 4x4 bld and 5x5 bld) and give everyone the chance to submit an average before he has done all 12 solves (but in this case you'll get a dnf average and just your single solves can be a record).
About the RA: I'm working on it.
 
:(:(:(

Oh no!!!

I was recording another average 2x2. After 5, I had the incredible average of 3.46 which would have put me first on the list. Then I noticed that the rules were changed. The average of 12 ended up being 4.36, 3 and 4 changed position :).

There goes my fifteen minutes of fame.

One little problem... http://i29.tinypic.com/2e1xi4w.jpg IDK if it won't accept sub-2 singles, but maybe that's why erik's not on the top scores list.

Fixed, it had nothing to do with the time, more with my foolness and the limit of scrambles...

Why a countdown for OH and feet, and how do I turn it off?
Click to expand...

I found it quite useful to have a countdown for feet, since you usually don't use your feet to hit the space bar ;). But i thought i removed the countdown for OH, i'll do that now.

/edit: There's no countdown for OH o_O
Click to expand...

I could insist I got a countdown for OH. I couldn't work out how I got a 21 second solve (I mean, come on!) then did another, and looked at the screen after a while and saw it at 4 seconds, which was obviously wrong, so the next time when I did it I watched the screen and sure enough it was counting down.

As for feet solving, sure you can't really start with your space bar with your feet, but you can't stop it with your feet either... The solution: Being able to manually put in times.

oh looks like it is working now:D...It went mad earlier...I held the spacebar down for 1 sec and I had already an avg of 0.01 or something xD
 
Is it just my pc or can all of you not see the cube selections on the top of the site. Also, I can't chose whether or not I want to do One handed, blind, or with feet, only speedsovle 3x3.On IE, though, it works perfectly. Amazing timer.
 
GAH! TIM! :mad:

I had to beat the 4x4x4 OH avg5 with an avg12, and after I was done, the format had reverted immediately back to avg12. :confused::eek::mad:
I still did beat it, but that 2:16 avg contained a 2:05 avg5... :(
