About a weeks worth of updates coming your way. Some are new, some have already been live. The biggest change recently has been the introduction of the result limit to 1000. Sorry guys, but allowing you all to read all your tens of thousands of results multiple times a day is getting very expensive very quickly :(. Don't worry, all that data is still there, and potentially someday you will be able to unlock it / download your data.

New features:

  • Adde sound on click number 3 and 4. Number 4 is based on the recordings of NK Creams from Glarses - thanks a lot to him!
  • Added a copy words history button - after the test, if you click the button to show the words history you will now be able to copy that list and share with your friends.
  • Added Numbers mode. Thanks kunal-rp!
  • Added caps lock backspace mode. You can now force caps lock to act as backspace. Thanks typerqeo!
  • Added start graphs at zero. You can now disable that setting to stop the graphs always starting at 0. Personally I don't recommend it as it could make it seem like the speed changes were more drastic than they actually were, but people asked for it so here you go.
  • Added activity chart below the main chart on the account page. On there, you will be able to see how many tests you've taken in the previous days.

Funbox:

  • Added read ahead. Thanks typerqeo!

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug where very long timer/progress numbers would cause the words container to get wider, and cause some unwanted line scrolling.
  • Fixed the caret animation not stopping when tabbing back into the chrome window.
  • Fixed a bug where the request made to the database would be too big to save.
  • Fixed some problems with email verification.
  • Fixed a bug where the active theme indicator would be incorrect when using random theme.
  • Fixed char counting. From now, incompleted words will contribute to your raw speed, and also in timed mode, if you manage to type the word correctly, but don't press space before the test ended - that word will still count towards your wpm.
  • Fixed a small visual bug where the name of the funbox used will include underscores.
  • Fixed some small bugs with layout override and caps lock. Thanks typerqeo!

Other changes and improvements:

  • Started tracking global and per user tests completed, started and time spent typing (all together, we have typed for over 2.5 years!). Your global stats will be available at the very top of the account page.
  • Limiting the number of results you can see in detail to 1000 to hopefully reduce the costs of hosting the site.
  • Limited the amount of extra characters a word can have to 20 to avoid a visual bug.
  • Optimized the backend functions to avoid errors and decrease db reads.
  • The words history will now have 2 extra words at the end to show you if your mistakes were potentially influenced by future words.
