CSTimer has a BIG PROBLEM...

Recently, I discovered that CSTimer has a big problem. This problem is quite an annoying one, so I decided to make a video to spread awareness about it and just to vent my frustrations.
I hope that this video about the CSTimer problem can generate solutions from the cubing community. If you know what is going on, or if you know how to fix this CSTimer problem, I would appreciate any information or suggestions about this issue.
CSTimer has been deleting solves...that's the problem.
Message to CSTimer:
If it is an issue with the timer, please fix it. I know that it is unlikely to be an issue of the timer, but it may be a small possibility.

I wonder if someone could write a script that would auto-export upon closing. Maybe it could also import when opening too.

[@flippybg6815]

I'm a beginner and I've been cubing for like 2 months now and sub 60. I have school so I cube weekends only. I had like 100 solves including 2x2 3x3 oh and 3x3. My google account logged out for no reason at all and when I logged back in I discovered that nothing was saved. They were all gone. I tried to import my data back in but realized that I never exported my data then. I just logged in with my google account and thought it would export my data automatically. That's how I lost 50% of my motivation about cubing

[@MatthewCubes]

I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience

[@david.craig2217]

I've done 12600 solves in my 3x3 session and this has never happened to me so if it did happen i would be so frustrated

[@wrcuber5030]

Thanks for the shout out bro it mean s slot I'm freaking out almost in tears

[@Farigeri]

The most I did was like 300 so I cant even imagine how frustrating that would be with 10000 :D

[@MatthewCubes]

It was pretty devastating :(

[@goutgueule9197]

maybe your browser is clearing cookies or something

[@cubest817]

Also happened to me when I first use it, 400+ solves were gone, including my cubing career's first solve.😶‍🌫️

[@RyanYiMa]

The video production quality it going up. Keep it up!

[@MatthewCubes]

Thanks

[@speeedycuber]

tbh it might just be a device storage issue

[@landybulky8548]

I use cstimer on both pc and mobile and I've never had problems with it. If it happens, you can at least think that one day you'll be much faster than now and you won't care anymore about those solves.

[@MatthewCubes]

That's such a great way to look at it! I think I'll try it

[@Iamrealme]

This reminds me when I accidentally deleted my entire session which had like 4,000 solves

[@MatthewCubes]

It is a sad day when something like that happens…

[@Iamrealme]

@@MatthewCubes I know:(

[@cubingtutorialsmedsophia]

I had that problem too, and i fixed it the same way you did!

[@frostSky426]

Just today i logged into my CSTimer account to find all my solves,session names, colour scheme and everything i had gone and has been reset. Do you have a solution for this?

[@VidTDM_XD]

All I know is it is stored in IndexedDB. Probably has something to do with no storage on your computer

[@wnesl]

this is why you export your session solves

[@wnesl]

oh you said that in your video nvm lol

[@ThisChickenIsAlone]

It deleted for some time, i started exporting info, and that deleting of times were changing my colorscheme too. that stopped eventually.

[@Keyedothe1]

@MatthewCubes sometimes when I try to delete my cache in my browser it also deletes some of the times because its data being stored so if you delete your search history or something it might also delete your times.

[@ARCEUS0697]

My times disappeared, but i thought i was ok since i back up regularly. However, when i entered my cstimer server code, i got someone elses solves. Idk if there’s any prevention to stop other people from saving over your code, so i guess i just lost like 2 years of solves. Not sure what to do now

[@prarabdhadighade]

Okay, whenever I go to stop the timer the right button gets clicked and more seconds are added to my time. (I use a laptop)

[@rafaelcorreia8518]

i started cubing some time ago and had, like 500 solves on 4x4 an someday it all disapeared

[@rahhhhhhhh1]

it’s just happend yesterday I have saved like 23k solves, 1 year of grinding is gone.. im cried (no joke) 😢

[@amosthecuber]

I got that bug butt only in my clock setion 😂

[@ty62c]

i don't think i've ever experienced this problem, but i use firefox so maybe that has something to do with it

[@Sahil_Ansari_5]

I did 47300 solves on cstimer but it never happened with me. But, still I use to export my solve just to import that data on another device I use and it also can help me in future whenever my tablet become useless.

[@badhbhchadh]

never experienced this but still have always been exporting my data after a session since I saw this option (before I was exporting CSV which I found out the hard way could not be imported again)

[@wooperanimations5625]

omg, today i opened cstimer after quitting it for a test and all my solves were gone. Im not kidding when i say i had 39000 solves( this being my third year of cubing). My goal was one hundred thousand(100 000) but know that this happened, i probably wont reach it anytime soon. I am so sad now.

[@Cubingdash2020]

Why I use cubedesk

[@ThatCubeKidd]

I discovered the export thing because it deleted my solves once, but the export feature doesn’t work anymore. It just says “some errors occurred…”

[@MatthewCubes]

It just tells me that it “timed-out” and to log-in again

[@ThatCubeKidd]

@@MatthewCubes same

[@natecubed]

Could be that you're clearing your cache? I believe cstimer solves save to your browsers cache but I could be wrong.

[@M1CSGO]

just login to your wca or goole acc and import it and then you could export it back

[@SamSpeedCubes]

I export with my wca ID and the auto export works

[@troliskimosko]

I connected it to my WCA ID, and not only do i export it every time i close the tab I also do file exports every now and then. So no matter what I dont lose my 35000+ solve session lol

[@GregWaldock]

Bro buy a timer, a pencil, and a paper to write down with

By the way, I'm pretty sure the problem is that you are resetting your cookies (deleting search history can cause this to happen as a byproduct)

[@yat_ii]

0:08 10,000 solves but no dnf?

[@MatthewCubes]

I don’t count those :)

[@lidog_does_cool_stuff]

i lost 14000 3x3 solves and 4k prya solves 3k 2x2 sessions and other bad events am very mad

[@ChrisMillsSpeedcuber]

I've never had the problem myself, but I've heard that it can be caused by your computers storage space being basically full.

[@MrBear549]

My problem is my own mistake I click the Export button on accident and now 0 solves D:

[@Anthony_Jiang]

It’s ur local storage / cookies clearing. Just make sure your computer isn’t clearing them

[@FWCXRTI]

I do solves on cstimer and get sub 45 usually then I do it on a different timer I get like sub 1 min????

[@ClockSolver]

i hate cs timer, every single one of my solves are gone, even the sessions are made, all gone

[@jaxreimer-ic4py]

i lost 3 years worth of solves

[@2sidesonly]

For me, I DO export my solves but they still deleted, and now the export menu WONT OPEN,

[@MatthewCubes]

Are you maybe not using the secured version? I haven’t run into that problem yet

[@2sidesonly]

@@MatthewCubes oh, I’m not sure, but I have already switched timers to cubedesk which you should make a video about

[@MatthewCubes]

Yeah cube desk is a pretty solid timer too :)

[@bigoofersrock]

I have 22,000 solves and I’m so scared every time I close Google.

[@MatthewCubes]

Exporting the solves appeases my anxiety about that happening :)

[@bigoofersrock]

@@MatthewCubes I just started exporting, and it definitely helps my anxiety

[@rubikboy4622]

It has started to happen to me, but it only ads back a few thousands of my older 3x3 solves when I do your solution, and not my newer solves.

[@TheTrueYes]

I have soo many problems with cs timer. Solves disappear sometimes. Other times solves ftom one session transfer to others and just randomly mix up. This is soo messed up

[@nightspicer]

The weird thing that happened to me is that all the solves are gone *however* when I go to all the sessions all the statistics are shown in the menu correctly

[@littlehenryroy.royharproy8724]

The same thing happened to me…

[@murrayeastaugh4566]

I have a really dumb problem where I can’t chagrin my session

[@murrayeastaugh4566]

Change my session where there is no option to change and now I’m stuck in 2x2

I’m pretty sure you need to click the button that says “times list” when you hover over it

[@murrayeastaugh4566]

@@MatthewCubes it’s enabled but everything like the times and the averages are there but somehow there’s no button that says “session” 1 to actually tap/click

Hmm. Strange. I don’t know what to do because I have never encountered that. Sorry
