Speedtest reset
I had to reset the speedtest because there were too many scores in the database and I think its kinda disappointing if you type an average 65 words per minute and just reach position 35.000 or worst. So, try to beat the score again

Hi again. On the speed test, instead of (or as well as) displaying ‘you achieved position 5010′, you could display something like ‘you’ve beaten 72.2% of all previous records’ - that way users will get a better idea of how well they are doing relatively to everybody else, and it won’t matter how big your database gets. Feel free to ignore though.

Hey Rob,
thats a great idea, I will implement this in the next days.

Say, couldn’t you rather just show “You’ve gotten rank # out of #”?
I really would have wished the test had some kind of statistics, like showing average speeds and what the fastest person had.
I’m proud i got 869 rank before you reset though =)

I’m sorry for the reset, but there were too many entries in the database and a lot of fake entries. At the moment I think about which result I’ll show, maybe both types?

think you’ve been flooded again - I just got 73 wpm and it told me my rank was 40000 or some such. Great test though, and will look at your typing tutor for my daughter
