I was just thinking.. how about being able to have a competition, but the words / paragraph etc that users type was written by the competition starter? I own a PC shop, and I'd love to have a comp on Facebook or something and say "the fastest typist in 3 weeks time gets a free whatever..."...

You could go a different way an add another mode, where it's a "combo" mode. Literally just the longest chain of correctly spelled words, either words that are correct but corrections are allowed, or a combo of words without correction. This way it keeps modes separate and simple to unders...

I would suggest getting a final list of options set, (capitals, numbers, symbols etc) and then we work out pointing systems. The simplest of course is to assign everything a percentage, so that adding numbers to a test adds 10% difficulty, meaning 10% points bonus and so on. This way, you add all th...

Yes it would.

If the stats at the end of any test shows if it's been paused or not, I suppose employers or just friends etc can see if they've paused. You could even have a simple line stating "Tom Allen typed 167 words in a row without pausing" or something.

I like all these ideas .

Hmm I suppose that is true. Though I feel surely, that the idea of a 10 minute test is to see how fast you can type for a solid 10 minutes. If you're able to pause it, the stats wouldn't be showing what you can do for 10 minutes. I would however completely support a pause feature on an infinite test...

I'd say to keep away from a pause feature myself. There's no professional typing test or anything where you're allowed to stop and walk away and wipe the sweat from your hands haha. So adding a pause feature might sound good, but actually allow people to 'cheat' on endurance tests. You could have it...

I know how I've written them maths isn't quite correct, but you should be able to see the idea.

Add up the difficulty, then add another multiplier for the duration.

Might be a bit too late now.. but as a web developer and a pretty nifty PHP coder, I might be able to write a script that would transfer all content from one forum into another's database? If you're interested let me know, though I would need access to the databases so it's your call.

Sorry - I never saw this post, hence making the suggestion to pretty much do what you've spoke of here. (TLDR: Skip to bold text below) I would suggest a system, where if you run a test with only common words checked, you get 1 point per WPM. So it's much like the current system, and it could say sh...
