etc, etc,

Now we are spoilt for choice

Was just thinking that having TPU in the text gives recognition to the site rather than trying to incorporate the logo into the image.

ignore this post .. there's a bug that doesnt show the badge for non-me-users

 

[El Fiendo]

You could just give all of us your powers. I'm sure there is at least one person here who wouldn't abuse it.

What about accepting donations for a server upgrade to handle the load? We want TPU to be a cutting edge destination for cyberwarriors.

........what?

It makes sense. The company that hosts Wiz should be able to upgrade his service for enough money. Buck's saying that we might be willing to help shoulder the load to keep folding badges in play if they prove too much for the current setup.

why? their arent enough people that will get them. i seriously doubt 30 people and an image or 2 peice will increase load to unbearable amounts. besides w1zz servers are private. to my knowledge they are not shared. so their shouldnt be a penalty for load...just need to make sure the system is powerfull enough.

the script still has to check if it has to show a badge for every single post displayed. i'm not 100% sure but it seems like that creates one extra SQL query per post in most cases .. if it becomes a problem i'll try to figure out a better solution

is their a way to only tell it to check for certain members? make a new array or something just for them?

 

[W1zzard]

i'll go sleep .. more work on this tomorrow .. like how to automagically assign the badges

good night then

 

[W1zzard]

so how do we know which forum user uses which folding name?

 

[El Fiendo]

An authorization of some sort. The new team member posts their folding name and a link to their stats as proof. They do this in the official new teammate sign up for folding tag thread. Someone adds the names onto the list of names that then polls generic stats page A for info on the tags.

too easy. i could lie about my folding name

actually...you could be on to something...for example only allow similar names...for example they cant be totally different

 

[W1zzard]

so what if we let users enter their folding name themselves .. if they lie, it will be found out soon anyway? this would save a lot of work assigning usernames

can you fold for multiple teams with the same username ?
