I can’t seem to find the link for adding a profile badge anywhere. Also, when I try to invite from the main app page, the buttons are cut off at the bottom: http://i29.tinypic.com/6jdc0n.png

I’ve got Firefox 3.5.1 on XP SP3 and it doesn’t work at all. I type http://www.typeracer.com in – it redirects to play.typeracer.com and then a little window pops up saying:

Warning
Something unexpected just happened. You may need to Refresh the browser page if TypeRacer stops working.

No explanation of “unexpected” is given. What’s wrong here???

I got a problem. I had linked my original typeracer account to my facebook account. However, the results I type on my original account failed to connect to facebook. And a new account named “Man Paperpack” (my facebook account name) was created. I can’t find ways to log in to this new account, but the result there is linked to my facebook when I hoped to publish them on my profile. I hope have an account named same as my facebook account (Man Paperpack) which will linked to my facebook profile directly, also it will have the original result of my account on typeracer (paperpack). How can I do that? Thanks for your help!

oh zoran..
accusing me of cheat or what is this?
Sometimes its just, when you type the wrong letter you just give up. And sometimes my fingers are too crusty and i dont feel like typing insane fast, but when the “best” text comes up for me i’ll always type faster.

I’ve got a serious bug report!

In facebook, when I’ve linked my typeracer.com account with my facebook account, the data it reports is not accurate, while when it was not linked, it reported my real facebook data.

I just want to unlink the account back!

I want to login in facebook and NOT to be treated as typeracer user, but facebook user. I want to revert the login procedure back.

How to do that? I don’t see any logout button, or unlink accounts button in there.

Sometimes I can be in the zone, and other times I can be in a very bad mood for typing. This makes a big difference. But in general, the text is the biggest factor causing fluctuation, since I don’t race when I just woke up or have cold hands or something like that

On the easiest texts I average 145, and on the hardest texts I average around 120.

Of course, the faster you type the more variation you can expect. I assume, though, that the percentage is the same (about 10%), and that the variation just seems more drastic since it involves higher numbers.

Do your scores *not* vary 10% up or down, depending on text?

my graphs work fine in firefox.

p.s. interesting race history valikor. why do you think your scores fluctuate so widely, e.g. 120’s in one race, 150’s or 160’s in the next? that’s a huge range. is it mostly effort? or difficulty of text?

p.p.s. activity in the blog comments has really died down in the past few weeks. we need a forum!
