Things to Do

Leaderboards

• nei: Due to the 58/25 result of the poll that was conducted from the 3rd to the 10th of December 2018, the leaderboards have been migrated to speedrun.com. Could an admin please lock each leaderboard wiki page (Dkc leaderboards, Dkc2 leaderboards, Dkc3 leaderboards, Trilogy leaderboards and Leaderboards/Misc Categories so nobody can edit them and put a message at the top of Leaderboards explaining that these are now legacy boards and that the community now tracks their times at speedrun.com?

General

• nei: Resizing images seems to be broken. I keep getting "Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: /usr/bin/convert: No such file or directory Error code: 127". I'm guessing whatever component that was handling converting images is broken. @kipples_ ?

should be fixed - Kipples
