Totallympics Suggestions and Problems Thread

Yeah, it is a general problem, I have already reported it to the hosting service, hopefully they will solve it soon.

The problems should have been fixed now.

Ok, I sent the instructions to @hckosice, @OlympicIRL and @phelps with instructions of what to do in case "some idiot steps into his car after drinking alcohol and hits you on the street"

Case in point: on the biggest Dutch forum, someone who had been a well-known moderator (different than being the owner/admin of course, but that's besides the point) for 17 years hadn't posted for a few weeks (which is a rarity) and in the past weekend it was found out he had passed away, only 49 years old.

 

Things can happen suddenly, and after the initial shock people would want to know if and how a site is going to continue.

Anyone else notice something funky going on with the 2024 Sports Program thread...

Is there some way to not see the Latest News part, or is that something a user can't change? Nothing at all against it, but I notice now there's also luge results being posted there, so now I can add Totallympics to the list of websites I should leave until I'm all caught up with all the sports (which is no problem with regular threads, there you can just decide to not open the thread of the event you want to know nothing about yet - besides the rare idiot who posts spoilers for event A in the thread for event B ).

This is unfortunately not possible.

EDIT: maybe it is, I have tried to hide the block just for you. Can you check if it disappeared ? And if you can still the news from here: https://totallympics.com/news/

You are my hero, awesome  

 

And thanks, I knew the link to the news page and will definitely keep having an eye on that (I like that there's not a lot of mainstream news there, but more things you don't really see anywhere else). Like I said, it's really nothing against it, my single reason is the thing of avoiding spoilers

Is there a way to get rid of those headlines in the news ticker which give away the results of events?  Like many people, it can take me up to a week to catch up with everything that goes on, so it’s a nuisance to see headlines giving them away.  (Quite happy with general sports news, of course)

I have added you to the list of "no spoilers" I think now you are not seeing the block (if you are logged in with your account).

I do apologize for the inconvenience those articles seem to have created. How does everyone else feel about them?
