Mysterious New Badge

[MarkRBright]

That is cool! I like the badges display. Good stuff as ever Bok.

As suggested before, I concur that the MM section should stay as is and the recent milestones section should be reduced to only 5 or 10.

I am going to stick my head out and ask Bok for an explanation on the Sub10k. Just where do you get the figure you are suggesting, and why wouldn't the actual amount of sub10'ks be better in smaller amounts then larger amounts. Confusing until someone explains it to me!! I can not find the complete explanation anywhere in the public veiw. So it may exist in the Team view only! To which I am not a team member

If you click on the new SubProject Credits link on your main Free-DC page near the top it should all hopefully become clear.
It's simply the number of subprojects in which you have crunched more than 10k. I was confused by the use of 'sub' too at first until I saw the new page.
There are quite a few Mega Milestones that are unexplained and you only tend to find out about them when you hit them! And even then it's not always obvious why you got them!
Bok has done all the work on this recently in part to compensate for issues with some projects becoming subprojects of the new Citizen Science Grid.
Hope that helps

And just to be clear... There is NO team only forum at Free-DC.

Everyone sees everything.

Bok,

Love the sub-projects idea, shame about WCG. I guess scraping is too much of a crap shoot?

Anyway, WCG aside, please can we have a MM that counts TOTAL sub projects crunched?

Thanks!

S.

ps, thanks for deprecating the CSG subs.

[Bok]

scraping isn't even possible for WCG, at least not without each individuals code for logging in. Complete PITA.

I intend to do all the other MM's for subprojects, once I figure out where to display them.

I'm leaning toward taking out the subproject MM's from the main CPId page and just displaying them on the new subproject page instead, plus with a new page of ALL mm's.

I had no idea what the MM badge itself was, that it comes from Free-DC instead of a project, that it means MegaMilestone, why it showed up nor why it's bronze instead of silver or blue. The FAQ isn't helpful and a forum search returns:

The following errors occurred with your search
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search:
MM

So now after an 90 minutes of searching around at least I know it's MegaMilestone and it's from FreeDC but still not sure what triggered it and how to get the next color badge.
