World Community Grid is pleased to announce several new updates to the web site.

Additional Badge Levels: Three new levels of Project Badges have been added. The new badges are for run time contributed to each research project:
- Ruby: 180 days
- Emerald: 1 year
- Sapphire: 2 years

We hope that these new levels of attainment will continue to highlight the accomplishments of our members and provide members who already have obtained Gold badges for any of the active projects something new to shoot for!

In addition to the new Project Badges, the web site now sorts lists of research projects by status (active projects are first, followed by completed projects) and then by project launch date. This may be seen on your My Grid page, as well the My Projects and Statistics by Project (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewProjects.do) pages.

The next 3 enhancements are to the Results Status page and will help Members gather information to aid the Tech Team and Community Advisors in resolving issues:
- The result name now appears on the Result Log pop-up page
- The Application Version Number is now shown on the Workunit Stats pop-up page
- The more specific statuses: "Server Aborted" and "User Aborted" were added Results Status page
