[JJtheCuber]

cstimer crashed and stats got wiped

I was doing solves yesterday, and then I closed my computer. When I opened cstimer today, all my solves and sessions were gone. Is there any way to fix this?
I don't have a lot of solves on cstimer because I was using cubedesk and only recently switched back, but i have 490+ virtual solves on there.

http://cstimer.net

is not

https://cstimer.net

(Technically, they are one and the same, but it's your web browser that treats them differently. For security reasons, data set on the encrypted-in-transport version (https) cannot be read by the not-encrypted-in-transport version (http).)

Those are also not the same as cstimer.org, an alternative unofficial site (analogous to qqtimer.net not being the "official" qqTimer).

Was it fixed? Do you still have this problem with your data getting wiped?

Ever since the recent csTimer outage, I've seen a few reports here and there about csTimer sessions getting wiped, but (i) mine are still intact so idk what y'all have been doing and (ii) I've heard no follow-up on whether any of the affected people managed to get their sessions back.

It happens but you'll just have to live with it. You can back it up using the export button. Enjoy a fresh CSTimer!

Cstimer stores your data in your browser normally, so when the browser crashed it must've cleared its cache (this also happens when you clear search history). Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to get it back, I hope you didn't lose too many solves. Make sure you export to server, google account, or CSV file on a regular basis (I do it at least once daily) so that this doesn't happen again in the future.

Yeah, I tried the http and the https but whenever I try the http link it brings me to the https one. But it's fine, I'll restart my solves and I'll wait for a few days, and I'll try backuping my files before I close my computer.

All right, I figured out why my data was wiped. My dad was clearing browser history because my computer was too full.

Btw if I want to make backups for cstimer solves so I can later import them back in, do I save it as .txt files or .cvs files?

Best to save as txt, I don't think cstimer allows imports from csv files.

However, you might wanna look into backing it up with your Google or WCA account, or saving it onto cstimer's servers. At least that won't take up your storage space, and you wouldn't need to transfer files here and there for all your solves on multiple devices to be synced.

Never Mind, I Figured it out sorry

That's why you don't just say "never mind, I figured it out".

It's non-information; it doesn't help anyone who encounters the same problem, and that "anyone" might even be you from the future… as it is in this case. (If you encountered the problem once, why wouldn't you encounter it again?)

Try clicking around the top-left corner of the time-list area.

Sorry, I will not say that I figured it out, thanks for the help

I've been experiencing a weird problem with cstimer recently. I use the shortcuts to switch events and sessions in cstimer (I use alt+uparrow/downarrow to flip through sessions), and somehow my 2x2 times ended up in my 3x3 session. Could this just be I am flipping through the sessions too fast (holding down can scroll all the way to the first session)? Or is it another problem?

Sometimes when this happens to me, I change to another session, and when I change it back the extra times are gone. But sometimes they remain there unless I delete the times (reloading the page doesn't even work in these situations).

 

[AJT17]

That is odd, I don't personally use the shortcuts, but possibly going slower while scrolling, or just not using the shortcuts could help.

I have a problem with CStimer. When I press and hold the ctrl keys (to start the timer), I take my hand off the ctrl keys and it stops at 0.02 seconds. How does this happen? How can I fix it? Any suggestions?
