This is a new experimental feature on the ranking page . Today it is the first day it's there, so I'm surprised you spotted it even before I had a chance to report it  . It shows the number of calendar days until you are upgraded to the next Globe, with your current average.I hope it doesn't discourage too much because I see the figure can be rather daunting for some. By the way, one of the hardest parts of this features is to think of a short description for the column header in the ranking. For now I settled for "up days", but not entirely happy with that. ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by SNURK at Sep 14, 2016 8:40:52 AM] |

SNURK,
The up days looks great and is within 1% of my calculation. Thanks for all the effort you put in to this. |

Three ideas regarding the Up Days, which you might be interested in: 1. Instead of 9999, use the half intensity word 'Inactive'. 2. For members who have the red exclamation mark, make the Up Days calculation based on removing the mark instead of the next Globe. 3. Use a maximum such as '>365' since 4561 days IS pretty depressing.

The up days make sense. It is consistent with BOINC Stats web pages for overtake. Why reinvent the wheel?

Ah, NICE! I can understand the quandry about what to call it in the header. The only other thing I could think of is "Promote". It's the same number of characters too. For the inactive folks, it's irrelevant. Maybe use ---- (4 dashes) instead of the 9999. I do like the idea of treating the red flag folks differently but the inconsistency with the rest of the users i will likely be confusing or problematic. Usually, it's not that long to get rid of the red flag anyway. As for the number being discouraging, I can understand that but if it's less than 3-5 years, it is what it is. Maybe beyond that, you could add the >. |

Thanks for the input. I'll do some fine tuning on this feature.

SNURK, 'up days' is a great new feature. While your are working on the fine tuning how about moving the Red Exclamation mark before ! rtm/prj rather than after rtm/prj ! ? It would simplify keeping column headers and data in alignment.
----------------------------------------Thanks for your consideration, yoro42  |

HI SNURK. A question concerning on your source of team ranking numbers. Where do you get the member rankings? The WCG or the BONIC stats. The WCG stats have Retired members such as MRKERMIT who left my team to join yours ;). The BONIC has fewer members (no retired) with higher numbers than mine. I can not understand how my ranking is determined compared to the two sets of stats.
----------------------------------------Any assistance will be appreciated. |
