I've come to annoy you again Joost mate. :D

Fetchy hasn't picked up the promotions so new splits are showing previous division on the leaderboard. I just wanted to see my shiny new trophy up there.... :sly:
 
Hahaha, congrats mate on your promotion, well deserved!

But i'm afraid Fetchy is 'right' in this case :)

If you check: http://wrs.gtplanet.net/divisions/ you'll see you are D1 gold, when you posted the split Fetchy probably hadn't processed your promotion yet. If you post new splits you should be D1 gold, let me know if it isn't.
 
Tried the Change Controller thing with Fetchy and now I'm showing n/a for controller on the leaderboard... tried my actual wheel name first, then G25 but neither show on the leaderboard.

Also noticed that Matt (GTP_Insatiable) is not showing on the leaderboard after posting splits.

Sorry I seem to be pestering you all the time Joost...
 
Hmmm strange... I'll look into it when I get the chance (somewhere this week).

And NP about the pestering, its a good thing to make sure the board is working fine after these big changes. So thanks :) Especially with gt6 around the corner and probably 150 entries in the first week... Its better to fix it now than with 150 people pestering here ;D

:cheers:
 
I have a suggestion to make, and I am making it here because I think it would be a nice addition to the LB, but it is something that could as well be added to each individual TT thread instead (perhaps).

The LB, such as it is, is fine if all you want to see is your ranking. The times column gives you an idea of how far away you are from other drivers, which is as much, if not more, important. But I want to propose a way of visualizing these differences in time to better see how the times are spread out. I've made a couple of charts to illustrate what I mean (based on the TT ending tomorrow):

There are two different versions, one with separate columns for each division, the other where they are colour-coded in a single column. I have no idea how hard it would be to automate this and add it to the LB. As an alternative, I could do it by hand from time to time and post it in the relevant thread, assuming enough people are interested in such a thing. Thoughts?
 
Cool Daniel, I like it. I'd vote for you occassionally doing it in the relevant threads until Joost gets a chance to weigh in on the difficulty for adding it to the LB. đź‘Ť

Hard to decide which format is best, but I'm leaning slightly toward the color-coded one.
 
Thanks Lucas. Also, it doesn't have to look like either one of those examples. Maybe somebody else has a better idea of what format it should take.
 
Nice Daniel, it shouldn't be that hard to implement. Design wise I'd rather have the horizontally instead of vertically, so I guess a (stacked)bar or plot chart will do the trick as well.

I have some other stuff to fix first, but will probably fix this somewhere in the future.

:cheers:
 
Hmmppff, you already posted that split earlier on in the thread, and Fetchy doesn't like that.

You can't go back to your 'old' split, to avoid entering duplicates etc. Basically it can be fixed...

A **** it... I changed Fetchy to allow duplicate splits... you're on the board.
 
Hey guys,

Some important info on a change to the weekly submission PM.

Fetchy has had an update to take advantage of the new possibilities with the new forum and is now able to handle replay's that are attached to a conversation message (PM).

The registration process was already modified a while ago. You can now provide a replay directly attached to the registration message you send to Fetchy, without the need to email the WRS staff.

With GT6 around the corner, hopefully 200 participants, and everybody needing to send a replay in the first week, we've changed the weekly submissions as well. You now need to attach the replay directly to the conversation instead of posting it on the forums.

To test this out we have enabled this functionality already. This way we can test it with a smaller group and make sure everything is working for GT6.

This means everybody will need to send a replay this week.

Sending a replay directly to Fethcy has lots of advantages. All the replays will be available immediately after the deadline, checking will be easier and quicker, the week can be closed earlier and best of all you create a museum of you own progress throughout WRS and you can view and analyze that of others. So we're thinking of requiring replays in GT6 every week.

If you want to submit multiple times in the week that is still not a problem. Just reply to the conversation with your new time and new replay. Fetchy always uses the last submitted time as the final one.

See this screenshot as an example on how to submit:



If there are any problems, let me know in this thread as always :)

:cheers:
 
That is great news Joost. But i see one down side. What if you forgot to submit and want to do this from your phone?

That's a consideration.

Would you normally memorize your best lap? Or keep a record of it on your phone?
 
Another quick note - I've added the new submission instructions to the OP.
 
I'm thinking maybe we can implement an automatic 48hour deadline in Fetchy if you don't send a replay. If you pass the deadline, you're automatically black flagged. We could let Fetchy send a reminder after 24 hours, so people don't forget.

Then we'd have best of both worlds: the ease of submission without a replay and still the benefits of having all replays and fast.

I think more people would get DQ'd then.

Actually i do. I do memorize my lap time even worse i memorize my best 3 lap times in some of the cases and sometimes even my splits. And if i can't remember, i keep a record of both my lap times and splits on my Phone indeed. I phonograph my lap time and my splits so i can keep track in excel.

See this screenshot of my phone of WRS 144

I wasn't trying to be a smartass, it was an honest question. I can remember times that I forgot to submit, and there are times that I would have known my laptime. But not something i could count on every time.

The proposal below should form a nice compromise and address your concern. The only case that it would not work is if you were on vacation or the like. And honestly, long delays of being able to make results final is part of what we're trying to get past.
