    Hi Bok

    Just spotted the sub1k (and presumably there will be a sub1m and higher too now) and noticed that it probably isn't adding into MiRBs/TeraMiRBs (possibly Maxwells too but I will never know :-()
    I have 27 MM's, 23 of which are ranked under the 1000, and yet have 20 MiRBs. I realise you can't get a MiRB for MiRBs, and possibly you can't get one (though I don't see why not) for TeraMiRBs) so that leaves the distinct possibility that one or more of sub1k isn't getting in on the MiRBs total. (and possibly the TeraMirb total too where relevant)

    BTW I still think that splitting the MM's into two boxes - one for strict numeric's, and the other for weird named ones, and defaulting the Recent Milestones to 5 (or even 1) would be better than separating out the sub-projects completely, especially as you would then have to explain why you did or didn't get Maxwell's / MiRBs for them.
    Cheers

    OK I see what you have now done and it all makes sense. I don't see why a genuine sub-project would/should qualify for a Maxwell etc
    I like the split into the two panels on the main page too, though I think I would feel inclined to put the Top Ranks and Projects in to the bottom one.
    Good work as ever. Thanks as usual.

    yeah, I tend to agree with top ranks. Not sure about projects, though I can see reason for/against. After all it's just score > 0

    It's a count of how many megaMilestones you have accrued. There are lots of different ones to try to achieve...

    between :
    5,10 - bronze
    10,15 - silver
    15,20 - gold
    20,25 - emerald
    25,30 - ruby
    35,40 - sapphire

    Thanks. Is that in the FAQ or some place on the stats page?

    Hi Bok
    So I just hit a total of 25 MMs and was surprised to find I didn't qualify for the Ruby MM badge, thinking I was sure that I had read somewhere that I would. So I dug around a bit and found this, and I am curious. I didn't spot it before but the break points of these different badges as definied above are a bit confusing, is 25 Emerald, or is it Ruby? My gut feeling is that getting to 5,10,15,20,25,30 and 35 is a more noteworthy and worth a change of badge than getting to 6,11,16,21,26,31 and 36. So no, I am not campaigning to get the ruby badge, but I think it is worth checking out the coding to make sure it is the way you want it and publishing a correction to the badge values once you decide which way to go.
    Cheers
    Mark
