Suggestion re badges.

[MarkRBright]

Much though I really like the display of badges on the CPID page, it has become a source of irritation recently, as a new badge appeared and I have no idea where it came from. It seems to me that there ought to be a way that the badge display could take you to list of the projects for which the Boincer has badges.
This I suppose could be by hovering over the picture producing a list of projects, or by clicking leading to a popup window of some sort showing the same. Perhaps as badges seem to be becoming more common and if the information is readily available then it could be worth going to a new screen which displays all sorts of badge related information, perhaps with such things as a table of Projects offering badges, badges you have for these projects, and perhaps even the luxury of "badges you could reach soon" if that isn't too ridiculous a suggestion.

For me, just a hover/comment thing listing projects would be great and would solve my current annoyance.

Meanwhile does anyone know whose badge is a green square with MM in it? It doesn't appear to be anything obvious like MindModelling, unless they haven't updated their MyAccount page to show them yet, in which case you guys are on the ball! I have looked at all projects with leading M's, and all projects I have been active on, and still haven't found this badge anywhere else.
Cheers

Not a bad idea to have a page of it's own actually.

As for the MM badge, you can think a little harder

[MarkRBright]

Re the page I agree, it seems to be a growth area, and there is probably a fair bit you could put on it, though a lot of it would probably be quite specific to individual applications within projects.
Hmmm! So, "think a little harder" sounds like a clue or is it just so obvious I am not seeing it? Thinking - takes me back to MindModelling - but been there and see no badge on their My Account page. Conjecture? Nope - Different badges got one of them. Thinking enigmatically - nope again.
Is there now a badge for Mega-Milestones? Like when you get on the board with 20 of them? Or have you generously created a badge for Marks MiRB's - perhaps not. ;-)
OK I am quite prepared to accept that I am a bit thick, and need a bigger clue.

Page is now in the planning stages. Any suggestions are welcome.

Yup, it's for Mega Milestones

[MarkRBright]

Excellent - didn't know that badge was in there - I can't find anything explaining it in the forum either - nice surprise. Are there any more like that in there? I assume it's for 20 entries in the various Mega Milestone categories, it's hard to imagine what would come next as there appear to be only the 28 MM categories.

I think a page for badges is an interesting one. Given that you seem to get them for different things from different projects and for different applications within projects.
Obviously it would be nice to be able to see what you have for each project/application, but also to see what badges there are available for the same, and really nice to see what you could most easily target to add to your collection. I suppose for the ones where they offer say Bronze/Silver/Gold etc it might be nice to see them all rather than just the highest value ones as currently shown on the CPID page. Perhaps that might be the way to do it, show them all, highlighting which you have, and perhaps highlighting in a different way which are close - though I have no idea how you would define 'close'.

I have absolutely no clue how you could do all this though so I'll back off quickly now.
Thanks for doing it though, I look forward to seeing it.

Is there anywhere a definition of the colours for that badge?
I think you've stayed with the standard BOINC colour scheme, i.e. bronze, silver, gold, ruby, emerald, sapphire, but...
I wonder what MM does count how, and where are the thresholds, and how can I reach ruby (if that's what I should look for with my probably golden MM)

Whatever, thanks in any case for another nice gadget over here

I haven't posted it, but here you go.

It's for the #categories you have an MM in.

#5 - Bronze
#10 - Silver
#15 - Gold
#20 - Emerald
#25 - Ruby
#30 - Sapphire

Can't reach Sapphire as there are only 28 individual categories yet...
