csTimer released

export / import does not work

The export / import server function does not work.

Import returns a message of "Some errors occurred...", and doesn't import anything.

Without import, there is no way to transfer the information to another location.
 
Some ideas :D No idea how difficult they would be to implement, but I'll suggest them anyway.

Your own image as the background - Now there already appears to be an option to upload a picture to do this, but it doesn't work. It would be great to have a personal picture as the background. It would make the timer feel more personal, more unique.

Custom fonts - It would be great to see either a wider range of selectable fonts or the ability to download a font from the internet and add it to CS, simply because the default ones aren't really much to look at :/

Ability to change colour of text separately and with more colours - I'd like the be able to choose to change the colour of different text, so it isn't just all one colour. It would also be nice to have more of a variety of colours to choose from, instead of just black and white.

And finally,

Select your own colours for the "Draw Scramble" - There are lots of people out there who have different colour schemes such as black instead of white etc. It would once again make the timer feel more unique if we could select our own scheme for the draw scramble tool.

Thank you so much for an amazing timer; I don't mean to sound too needy, and I certainly don't want you to think I don't love the timer as it is, these would just be some cool additions to make it even more unique and appealing for new cubers :)
 
A rather small bug, and is possible nobody else notices it but something is wrong with the scrolling for scramble type list. When I click on the pull down everything is fine, but when I go to scroll with two fingers(mac trackpad) the pull down glitches out and the pull down disappears, which is frustrating when switching timers. There is a work around where you can click and slide the side scroll bar which works fine, but I miss being able to use the two finger swipe on CStimer.
 
So I have a bit of a problem which happened just now. I was doing 4x4 just now, and when I stopped the timer, my cube also dropped on the keyboard, and suddenly the whole session was deleted. Looking at the keyboard shortcuts, it says alt D does this. Is there any way to retrieve the session back?

Besides "Alt + D", you also pressed the space button to confirm the deletion by mistake...

And there's no way to retrieve the deleted session back unless you have backup them by the "EXPORT" function or some other third-party tools.
 
csTimer has worked very well with a stackmat pro before, but when i updated to windows 10 the timer on the screen is almost 5 seconds after the timer on the stackmat. And now it doesnt work at all because it doesnt happen anything when choosing stackmat from timer, before google chrome asked if it could use the microphone but that doesnt happen now.

Yeah I have the same problem. Before, using a Stackmat would just make Chrome ask to use your microphone, but now it stopped doing that. I also checked my settings to make sure that CSTimer wasn't blocked, and it wasn't. Please help.

UPDATE: I just tried using my Stackmat with CSTimer on Firefox and it worked. Seems like it has something to do with Chrome.

This is because microphone access is no longer allowed over HTTP in Chrome.
Chen Shuang, would you be able to support HTTPS for cstimer.net ?

It seems that my PaaS does not support SSL for customized domains. As an alternative, the HTTPS version can be accessed via https://cstimer.sinaapp.com/timer.php

I've just committed an update. There isn't any functional changes in this update. The only difference is some details of the interface, especially the adaption for mobile devices. Detailly, if you open cstimer on a screen whose width-to-height ratio less than 5/6, cstimer will switch to mobile version automatically.

Furthermore, the size of the timer will automatically adjust according to the resolution of your screen. Hence, cstimer almost looks the same no matter you are using a 1366x768 screen or 3840x2160 screen. As cstimer is designed for 1366x768 screens before, you will find that the statistics bar, the scramble bar and the font size is much larger than previous versions on a 1920x1080 screen. If you wanna have smaller or larger statistics bar, scramble bar and font size, you may adjust "Options -> display -> Zoom" according to your habit.
 
CSTimer Problems

So I've had this problem with CSTimer now and I've been trying to fix it but I can't. My scramble text is centered and I can't use the average label because it gets blocked by the tools i have open. This didn't happen a yesterday and I'm really confused. (There isn't an option I've found that fixes this) Help Please? I also don't want to clear my cookies as that will erase my 2,000 solves on 3x3.

here's what you do. unclick TOOLS and the statistics will be hidden (don't worry you can always pull them back up)
 
This is because of a recent update. If you click Tools in the upper right-hand corner, it will hide them and you'll be good to go. Kind of annoying, but hopefully not that big of an issue!

As I mentioned, you may try "Options -> display -> Zoom"
 
You mean you don't like the centered scramble and prefer left-aligned one?

I dont like it either. I understand that its there so that scrambles can be seen on smaller devices, but you should add and option to align left (since the option save in a cookie, this wouldnt affect functionability on small devices).

Well, I've just add an option to set the scramble bar left, center or right aligned. See option->scramble->Alignment of scramble area
