The Official Times Update Thread
08/03/10 at 10:35:13
 
This is where you can look for the latest times updates. As always, please check your times to make sure they are correct. From the original update thread:

Quote:
A few things to note about times updating:

1) Since I approve a week's worth of messages at a time, they may or may not appear in the Yahoogroups in exact chronological order, meaning if you submit PRs for the same thing twice in a week, depending on how far apart the messages are, the slower time may go through after the faster time. It's always a good idea to double-check your times after updates to make sure your times were updated properly.

Alternatively, if you want to be sure the faster times will come up, if you send one message a week with all of your PRs (by Monday night/early Tuesday), I can update the one message for you and in theory, everything should work properly Smiley However you want to submit is up to you -- the one message/week thing is just a suggestion that should ensure the faster times go up.

On that note:

If your times are not properly updated:

If your most recent PR is faster than the time listed for you, just send a message as if you just got the PR and I can update it normally.

If your most recent PR is slower than the time listed for you, send a message to the Yahoogroups, but put in something similar to:

Quote:
Hi -- my RRR flap is incorrect -- can you delete it and put in this time:

RRR: xxx / (your time here)


If you put in the old time, the parser likes to interpret it as two entries for the same thing, and I end up having to edit your message and resubmit it, which for one message isn't bad, but if I have to edit/resubmit several entries, it doubles the amount of time it takes me to update.

And one last note, on that note:

Until I figure out how to put splits in with the times updates, please do not include splits in your Yahoogroups submission, or any other numbers (like how much time you cut, etc etc etc) -- again, the parser likes to interpret all those as separate times, and I have to edit/resubmit those messages as well.


To start, times have been updated to #7315.

Hey !

I always took the habit to write how many hundreths I won in a flap or a 5-laps. A few years ago, Termo already told me there had a problem when I submitted that, so he proposed an alternative way to not change my habit : put my new record like this -> -'--"-- , and put my improvement like this -> -.-- !

For example --> Retro GV1 : 6"95 (-0.12)

Am I still allowed to do like this, or not ?

I wouldn't -- it tries to interpret the cut as another time, so it's best to keep things like that in the PRs topic if possible Smiley

Ok guys, I'm an experienced MKDS updater and it seems like the MKSC updating works the exact same, so I'll try to answer to a few questions.

1) In order to approve times on the yahoogroup, you do not need any special account or password: whoever is the group admin will give you the power to automatically see pending messages on the group's home. So, if you see a phrase saying "xx pending messages", just click on it and approve the times.

2) You need a special account to have access to the updating page; it seems like it wasn't given yet to the times updaters only, though.

3) If you do a mistake and update a slower time, the updating page will highlight the slower time in orange. In fact, if the updating program detects you've sent in a slower time than the one there already was, it will tell you something like, "Updated time was slower than x'xx"xx". After every update, read the results carefully. Wink


If you have any other questions I can help as well (I hope).

Posting here because Nick told me that some of the messages I thought I updated did not update. Please check your times, and whichever messages did not update, please post with numbers and I will fix it.

rBC1 flap 12"56

Checking my times vs my profile on the site I found out these ones are wrong. I don't know if it is my fault (forgot to submit) or somehow some messages didn't make it. I posted here, but if you guys want I can send another message to the group with all of them. Thanks in advance!  Wink

^Yes, please send these in a Yahoogroups message. I can't put just times/names in the parser -- it has to be formatted as an email and as many that are missing atm, I'm not trying to "create" email messages for all of them.

If it's already been sent, let me know which message number and I can copy/paste that.

Should I send them in separate messages or is it ok if I send all of them in the same one?

Just sent them all in a single msg

Last number I saw in the group is #7315, so I'm hoping mine is #7316... The title is "Times"

Thanks in advance

^Are you referring to the login info for the update pages + mod status on the Yahoogroups or the actual how-to? The latter should be in your PM box, but I'm not sure who can add you as a mod on the Yahoogroups to approve messages. Alex should send you the login info for the update pages, but if he doesn't by Sunday, I know it + can send it.

Rotation should start Sunday Smiley

Times updated to #7332. Also, the following messages have been redone (these were the ones I was made aware of): 7306, 7311, 7312, 7314, and 7315. If any more have been missed, please post here/IM me/PM me with the message number from the Yahoogroups.

Tables have also been zeroed out.

Waaaaaaa why did you zero the charts out? I have not AF Cuts for my news update now Embarrassed

The tables should be zeroed out after every news update. I guess we won't get back the AF cuts, so I'll do the news update without them Undecided

Edit: I'll start now, but I don't have any clue about who passed who without AF Cuts...I'll try my best though. If the zeroing out of the charts could be undone, please tell me quickly so I can wait for that instead.

Sorry for double posting, but while writing the news I realized that you forgot to update Seb's RGV1 3lap Wr and Pierre's RGV1 Flap Wr, I'll still include them in the update but you should add the Wrs soon to the charts Smiley

You forgot some other times as well, RBC1 5lap wr by Pierre.

^The RBC1 one did update, but not correctly (as is in the other thread). I PMed Pierre about it and he let me know about the RGV1 time as well, so that's going to be fixed here in a minute. I'll have to find Seb's time in the messages, unless someone happens to know what message number it was.

Zwiebel wrote on 08/08/10 at 02:32:23:

Well, when Mick did news the last few times, he wanted me to zero them before the news update, so that's the habit I've gotten into, and before that, I didn't zero the charts at all for a long time.

Now that the new rotation has started, I think all the news updaters have access to the times, and you guys can zero the charts before/after the news updates.

Edit: Fixed Pierre's times, added Seb's time, and updated the 3 new messages (to #7335).

^Alright. I don't have authority to mod people on the Yahoogroups (or if I do, idk how to do it), but I'll send the login info for the actual times update page so you guys can at least update messages that are already approved. I figure we can start rotations tomorrow since I've already done a times update today.

I'm on Mondays now, right?

*wondering how this is going to work if I can't approve messages*

Edit: Ok so there's only 2 new messages to update. I suppose I'll take a crack at it and see if I don't screw up. Matt Ellis, hope your profile still looks good in 10 minutes.  Cheesy


Edit: Success! Times have been updated up to message 7337.

Since I don't have the power to approve messages, I just updated the approved messages.

This needs to be fixed if this whole thing is going to run smoothly, though.
