Re: Custom text edit?

This is my understanding: once you have published a text publicly you cannot edit it. Just make a new one! If it is published only privately, you still have the option to edit it. The button will be located near the top left, under the text's title.

Re: What keyboard do you use for fast typing?

Spiffytippy, thank you for your reply. I am not an expert in keyboards at all, and I have not typed on a wide variety of models unfortunately. My limited experiences with ergonomic keyboard layouts was mixed - there were pros and cons. The negatives were related more to the sloppy and cheap feel of ...

Re: Tests too easy?

A candid observation. True, 10fastfingers does seem to "inflate" your typing speed, and the reasons are obvious. For one, the regular test only incorporates a vocabulary of 200 words, which allows you to eventually memorize all of them by muscle memory. This is not necessarily a bad thing....

Re: What keyboard do you use for fast typing?

In relation to the previous discussion, allow me to offer a bit of a "duh" commentary. You can't underestimate the value of a quality keyboard. Regardless of how accustomed you become to an inferior product, the keyboard may ultimately limit your ability. Many will never reach this thresho...

Re: IMPORTANT: Possible calculation bug

Ah, this makes more sense now. I should have looked at this topic first. There have been times when I have expected 135wpm and gotten 145-150, it is hard to tell sometimes if it is due to lagg or just a great typing run.

Thank you for your trouble.

Re: My Result Does Not Appear In Competition

ZappX, Thanks for the swift reply! The last time I participated in a competition successfully was about two weeks ago. I have been on vacation for that time, and when I returned back I noticed problems. I never posted any outlandish speeds, everything was under my current max. Now, I did type a litt...

Re: My Result Does Not Appear In Competition

Hello 10fastfingers moderators and/or admins. I am having some trouble with my account. Everything seems to be functioning properly, but my competition scores are not being entered on the scoreboards. I thought it was a computer issue, but I just tested it on different computers and browsers, all wi...

Re: Best typist in each language

Has James Eze's 213 wpm been considered official? http://10fastfingers.com/user/265330/
I know his legitimacy was questioned by some, but he seems to check out. He has Typeracer videos on YouTube and goes by the name Zevus.
