Changes to the Weekly Competition website

[Yann1qua12DagOat]

Yes - @Mike Hughey thanks so much for these competitions! They are really good for competition simulation too because it puts a bit more pressure on me.
I will try and do all the events that I own this weekly comp, being the first of the year and all. It will be hard to do all the relays though.....

Thanks for making BLD ao5/bo5 Mike!

 

[OtaMota]

Would make sense for 2BLD to be Ao5 too

A software note, with the change of 3BLD’s average now being ao5, for some competitors it is showing that the ao5 is a PR even though it is not better than their best mo3, but for others it’s not the case.

Can we add OHBLD? That sounds like fun!!!

 

[Yann1qua12DagOat]

We should add OH BLD while deadhanging with the other hand

bruh deadhang isn't a word apparently

That does not add anything of value.

 

[SpeedCubingLord]

unless you like OH and BLD

You are always welcome to do the regular 3BLD event one-handed anytime you want. Many of us have done that in the past. You can add a comment to let us know you did it one-handed.

Website seems not to be working for me since yesterday, is that just me?

 

[Yann1qua12DagOat]

It works fine for me

How exactly is it failing? What are the symptoms? And also, what browser/OS are you using?

It is working for me on both phone and desktop, but I'm using Firefox both places.

Please be as detailed as possible about what the issue is, and where you're experiencing it so we can replicate and fix it, thanks!

The "Weekly View" is not working for me either, so entering new scores is not possible. Yesterday morning there were no problems

Happening to me too

It looks like a database problem: the scores of last week are accessible but the ones of this week are not. Perhaps someone entered a score or comment that the system cannot cope with.

I think I have fixed this issue. Please let me know if you see it again.

As for the other issue ("An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later."), I haven't been able to reproduce it yet - I will continue to look.

 

[Erik Tjong Kim Sang]

Yes, the problem is solved for me, thanks!

It seems to be an issue on my end. I have the login page bookmarked but it gave me a 500 error everytime I clicked it. Now that I opened the website by googling it, it seems to be fixed.

That's good news. Part of the problem might be that some browsers might be caching old versions of the pages; maybe when you opened it that way it refreshed the cache.
