On July 16, 2023 at 10:00PM EST, site staff [[Camcorder]] created a [https://www.speedrun.com/news/94vwp28y-welcome-to-the-new-speedrun new news article] on [[Speedrun.com]] talking about new changes for the site. Elo had two main objectives for the new site. 1; Better serve the communities and users on Speedrun. 2; Make it easier and faster for us to continue delivering on goal 1. They made 15+ major changes to the site including a new text editor, the ability to follow other users, and a new "fresh" look to the site.
The update brought major backlash with it. Most users that commented disliked the update. A comment from [[Chrepuhon]] explains what many users were also thinking. "As for me it looks useless and disgusting at the same time. I will have to get used to these changes that ruined some things on our Happy Wheels leaderboards." Though, there was also some positive feedback. A comment from [[1]] explains things the minority of users agreed on. "I think for the first time ever I am actually impressed. As a software dev I know how big of an undertaking a complete reworking of a site like this is and I want to say good job! I did of course find a whole lot of bugs within the first 5 minutes but this is still so much better than I would have ever expected from you guys."
