Obscure games ftw

There's a few more "incorrect letters" like that, but it's so minor and you can still tell what the word is/was I thought it was intended. Here's the rest:
wihtuut -> wihtout (without)
dooriblls -> dooreblls (doorbells)
sements -> semgents (segments)
mosntirs -> mosnters (monsters)
ableity -> abliity (ability)
anihting -> anyhting (anything)
beacuze -> beacuse (because)
skpeping -> skpiping (skipping)
Segemant -> Segemnt (Segment)
hoardes -> hordes (technically, this is a portmanteau of hoards and hordes, the latter being the definition used.)

Trying to reset password gives me this screen:

[lang password_reset]
[lang your_new_password_is]

(and the actual new password).

Someone should fill in language files Wink

(Just for the record: my browser is set to german first, english second. But since SDA seems to be english only this might not matter in this case.)

i'm sure there are bugs that have gone unreported longer than this, but this one is probably a record for me.

should be fixed over the next few days as caches clear. thanks.

"Auhor's comments". Not sure what an auhor is, but I think "Author's comments" is what was meant.

In the POWER UPDATE, the Banjo-Tooie time is wrong - 2:52:27 should be 2:52:57.

There was a typo in the template at some point. There's probably still a couple of them out. Fixed this instance.

This was actually already fixed once. Looks like it got re-introduced with the last update. Fixed again!

My bad, I forgot to fix it in my local copy between updates. That's what you get for directly writing static html.

In the newest update, I think "4:56 minutes" is a typo. It makes it sound like the LittleBigPlanet table has been improved by over four hours.

The LittleBigPlanet single segment run got switched back to Brossentia's old run, again happy

I swear we're not getting paid (enough) by Brossentia for this.

Fixed. moooh will have to fix his gamepages too.

But it says minutes right after the time, so not sure how hours is gotten?

4 hours : 56 minutes. That's how some people may interpret it. That's why consistant methods of displaying time are needed. So for this, 0:04:56 should be used or 4m56s or something like that.

I thought there had been agreement once to add leading zeros for runs lasting less than an hour?

Yes, a cucco riding the ground.

On this page, the intro is probably supposed to say "solve puzzles" instead of "solve puzzle".

Fixed. Also gamepage for some reason still pointed to the old run, so I fixed that to the new one as well.
You will need to force-refresh the page if it still shows 5:17 for you.

Regarding Cosmo's OoT run, wouldn't it be good to hint that the run was done on iQue ?

The Ys: The Vanished Omens run was timed at 18.47 and 18.50 seconds, so the time should be shown as 0:00:18 or 0:00:19 instead of 0:00:16. Could someone please correct this typo?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Timing proposed by verifiers is not necessarily used. Final decision is by someone from the staff.
Of course it could still be typo (if 16 seconds is not the time calculated by the staff).

I handle timing so the 16 is what I put in. ymh is correct in that what verifiers say is not always used as I almost never check these threads. If you wish to further discuss this, feel free to send me a PM.

On the full list, there is this one:

"Zelda: Ocarine of Time 3D, The Legend of for Nintendo 3DS (0:36:13)"

Not sure what an Ocarine is, and I assume this is supposed to be "Ocarina".
